[2005] Game Maker + Scripts

Hi guys, I'm not sure which forum to put this in but if it's in the wrong one then I'm sure it will be moved :)

Anyway, I'm thinking of making a game creation software that lets people make games and it will have it's own scripting language and gamepad/joystick support and I'll use DirectX for the drawing.

I've already built a platform game with physics and gamepad support using DirectX.

I want to know:
1. Do you think it's a good idea?
2. Would you use it?
3. Do you think other people would use it?
4. Anyone got any ideas for other features/add-ons?

I already know about Game Maker and I'm not trying to compete :)
