Free 2.5 classic point and click games creator.....

I remember looking at this a few years back-
Wintermute

Its a 2.5 D game creator and its free.
Since last time I looked it seems as if a few commercial games have used it including this recent one which achieved good reviews-

The Lost Crown

It is great that 2d/2.5d point and click type game still have a market.
There are a number of other similar creators but this one seams good compared to the rest. Its a great way for people on limited budget to create an adventure game and get it onto the market.

Some of you 30 plus may remember the cool LucasFilm games in the 90s, such as Zack Mackracken and the Alien Mindbenders. That game was great, looking back at the screenshots now it looks really dated (much more than in my memory of it). However, the gameplay and storyline made it great. A game like this with updated graphic backdrops would be more than possible now I beleive even with a one person setup!

I am just going through the tutorials and seems easy to use and not much need for scripting, although the scripting system itself seems like simple Javascript.
