Engine based on Verve's engine for GMStudio. Contains many different gimmicks and intended for newer game makers.

UPDATE 2022-07-29:
Rebased engine from YoYoYo to Verve, and added a bunch more gimmicks. Also added gmsched to the project to prevent slowdowns.

If you have the old version of NANE and have scrambled music/sfx, delete "add_your_custom_sounds_here" from the sounds folder.

A fantastic engine which sadly doesent work in GMS2 but can be easily edited and fixed! The engine has a lot of gimmicks and scripts and similar and its really good. The trigger system can be complicated, but ist AMAZINGLY FANTASTIC when you learn it. I love it! I also realized that adding objects can be a bit worrying, as there can be something that breaks it, its basically a bit complicated.

With this engine i will 100% create good fangames and i really recommend it! I will also make a GMS2 port eventually, just because GMS1 vanished. (R.I.P.)

Overall, insanely good engine!

UPDATE: The engine now has more features and additions, as well as fixes to everything I described in this review.

I've used this engine for most of my projects at this point. It's an amazing engine barring a few issues I have with it. I'll tell you how to get rid of those issues here as well.

The first is saves are z saves by default. To change them back to shoot saves, simply remove the comment that comments out event_user(0); in the objbullet collision event.

The second issue is occasionally the audio can scramble. To fix this, remove the "add_your_sounds_here" sound file.

The third issue comes from the apple rings. If the apple rings generate apples outside the screen, it'll crash the game because of some array issue or something. To fix this, create a duplicate cherry object and remove the "Outside Room" event. Replace instances in the code of the original cherry object with your duplicate one.

You are now ready to use this engine.

The most accessible fangame engine you can probably find, with enough content provided in it for you to easily make your own games. When the NANC 2 contest was being hosted, I was able to lurk behind the scenes watching people use and troubleshoot this engine, which in turn made me understand the majority of what goods it has to offer and apply them in my own needs.

Not only does it contain the normal engine stuff, but there are additional goodies that you can find in the "new" folder that will heighten your gameplay. For example, it has the sheep blocks from 8bit, the gravity beams from See the Moon, jump amount changers from NANG, and many other fun gimmicks you can include from CN3 to Jungle Adventure.

I think out of all the engines,this is definitely the first one a beginner maker should be advised to used. It's simple enough that you can figure out a lot of things on your own, and common enough that even if you have issues someone can probably help you figure it out. Helping new makers like myself who lack coding knowledge have a few starting places to work off of makes this engine one of the best you can get.
