What does everyone recommend?

I'm looking to start working on an engine or having an engine made.

Where would I start though? MS4 seems like a great source to use but it's not yet completed. Is it wrong to go ahead and build an engine with the MS3.60 Beta, or should I be waiting for the official MS4 release. It wouldn't matter if I was any good at coding, but in this case it does.

What should I do?

Use MS4. Until the final release is made, you can spend your time practicing applying tutorials to MS4 and tinkering around with it to get used to how it works. Then when the final one is released, you can start working on your engine.
