Don't get me wrong, I do think Python would be a good choice. I just don't like it when people bash Java :D

The problem is that does anyone here have enough experience in programming video games in any other language to have a fully functioning graphics/multiplayer engine?

Unless we start off working from anothe video game engine, that's a start at least

We're working in 2D here. Writing a 2D game engine is not a complex task. I'll probably create a new one for this project.

Why rewrite GG2 in another language?

Cross-platform (Mac, Linux, Android maybe). Not being reliant on Game Maker. Not needing a stupid GPL linking exception. Greater openness as you won't need commercial software to work on it. More efficient, less laggy multiplayer (better server architecture). Not needing stupid DLL extensions to do stuff. Actually working bgm on Linux. etc...

On another note, if we make our own engine, we can make new games and actually sell them.

Or we can just code GG2 in source engine. It would be possible, wouldn't it?

I honestly see no future in this. It starts with lots of talking but ends up with nothing.
