The Games Factory 2, or as commonly referred to as TGF2 is a "budget" version of Multimedia Fusion 2 designed for home users looking to create applications and games without needing to learn code. It continues the original The Games Factory brand name as well as visually sharing the same interface as MMF2 and using the MFA format. The brand name has now been discontinued and is now preceded by Clickteam Fusion 2.5.

A free version of The Games Factory 2 was released exclusively for the Newgrounds website to allow creators to create their own Flash games for Newgrounds with limitations. Creations exported by the software can only be uploaded to the Newgrounds website and do not function as regular flash files for use on any website.
Once you figure out the interface, you can build professional-looking games with The Games Factory. However, it's a long slog. The program comes with background elements, active objects, and even some animated characters. You can choose to include functions such as the boss key (F5) or instructions (F1), but you can't change key assignments. Neither of the options for the Jump action is the intuitive up arrow.
The help is spotty. It refers to the Multimedia Level as the \"game level.\" Also, it says you can include sound files, but it doesn't tell you how. According to the Lectures file we downloaded from the publisher's site, the program imports MIDI soundtracks and WAV samples. Importable image files include PCX, BMP, IFF, RLE, and DIB. The animation editor will bring in existing FLI or FLC files.
The trial version lets you build and test a game, but you can't export it as a standalone file or as a Web game. Buying the Home version allows you to distribute games and screensavers for free, whereas the Pro version adds the right to charge for your creations. Aspiring game designers with patience and time might find The Games Factory useful.

The Games Factory 2 (Newgrounds Edition) feels quite similar to Construct 2 (not entirely by coincidence), so most of the porting was straightforward copying. Some small complications arose from the lack of sub-events and hash tables and the need to use a special Layer object for scrolling. Construct 2 is newer, more polished, and more actively updated, but The Games Factory 2 doesn't have any limitations on game complexity (probably).
