I've been thinking about switching to a new software for a while now. I figured when Opera bought out Game Maker it would improve the development of the IDE, which it definitely did but it also turned everything into subscription based payments and that's super annoying. I'll probably give Godot a try since the indie dev community has been saying a lot of good things about it. I'm just so used to Game Maker and have all the hotkeys ingrained in my muscle memory that it can be hard embracing a new software.
Also thanks for checking out the YouTube channel, I'll be making a video on this game since the development was pretty fun and started out looking completely different from the final product!
