    Hello. I started to make simplest kind of games using "existent code" with engines such as RPG Maker. I only know minimal programming. Yet I always wanted to make my own game. I have posted in here before. About making slenderman clone.

    Now I am about to buy this.. Not because I will really make something cool but because I like the engine and the experience. (because it is hard and I probably won't) I want to support the community... (Plus I have a little too much money to waste on stuff.)

    Since I am from Turkey (which means 1 $ is around 2,7 TRY). So... should I get it now, or wait a little more (1 year or 2 maybe)

    I also have some questions about this. It will be a "download & install" kind of file from what I saw on the FAQ. My question is... Will I be able to redownload it if i somehow break my whole HDD? Or is it based on accounts?

    I will buy it under some other account by the way. This username sucks.

    Edit: I may actually start learning if I buy it :3.

    If you don't need the Pro Services (note: services, not features) don't get Pro.

    If you're just starting out there is no way you would ever be at the stage where you should be worrying about those services anyway.

    However if you honestly think by putting money into a product that it would be a great incentive for you to get deeper into it, then it may not be the worst idea. I have tried using this psychological trickery myself and it honestly does not work for me, but it might for you
