    For adventure games it's perfect. For something that involves decent AI, it's not, cause there is no pathfinding.

    No built in pathfinding, but you can code it yourself.

    I thought its not possible to code in gamesalad? that we're only allowed to use the drag and drop function?

    True but you can still write rulesets as you would in a scripting language, and the expression editor is almost 1:1 for LUA expressions. Such as:

    rule:
if statement
Behavior
Otherwise
Behavior

    Which closely resembles

    If
do something
else
do something else

    You can also nest rules, have access to tables, string mainuplation, Tagging, and a lot more. This makes GS quite scalable to fit your level of knowledge (beginners can drag and drop basic behaviors, advanced users can write AI pathfinding, etc.
