I don't mean to be a negative Nellie, but speaking as someone who once used the Hello Engine 3 to make a game... The Hello Engine 3 is one of the worst possible engines you could choose for making a fangame in 2024.

For one thing, Hello Engine 3 is designed for Game Maker 7. GM 7 is tough to get running on modern PCs, and games made in GM 7 don't always play nice with modern PCs. If you try to run the engine in GM 8 or GM Studio, be prepared to make lots of tedious code tweaks, as collisions work differently between GM 7 and 8.

Which brings us to our next point... Hello Engine 3 is poorly coded. The code doesn't even use tabbing! Good luck trying to figure out the meaning behind Hello Engine 3's legendarily cryptic variable names like "kk". There's also a lot of duplicate code that could've been better optimized with parents and scripts. And while some people might like Hello Engine 3's mechanics, many people found them to be a bit awkward.

I don't know if Hello still maintains the 2-D Hello Mario Engine, but more recent versions of the engine fix most of the issues described above. Though if you're looking for a premade engine, Gate's engine is a better choice, especially since Gate is still active in the community and is actively developing his engine. If you prefer vanilla graphics, you can always change the sprites for tiles, enemies, and gimmicks you use.
Course clear! You got a card.
