Hi. If your ever in need of free music to use for your projects or for game jams check my channel out. All i ask is you give me credits for making the tracks you use.

[@GameMakerEngine]

Amazing video!! Comprehensive and factual. Appreciate all the positive words about GameMaker. Hopefully, this inspires new people to join the community and start making games. Never been a better time! ❤❤

[@alandunaway3000]

I've used it for a long time, only dropped it back in the GMS2 era(GMS2 was way too complicated to do things in).

[@alandunaway3000]

Can we use the Direct3D features in the free version? They were part of the paid version back in the 5.2 to 8 era.

Another great GameMaker title is Rivals of Aether, which is one of the most successful platform fighters outside of Super Smash Bros. It also has Steam Workshop support and a large community of modders. The modfing is done entirely through GML code, so it's a great way to practice your GML programming wiyhin the environment of a fleshed out game

[@will6671]

was kinda hoping this was an actual starter guide, and not just an overview

[@billhomie]

I literally just downloaded Gamemaker yesterday, it's a sign!

[@chillbro2275]

Yup! Have fun, and light it up, homie.

[@FrozenFlame-Chess]

it's been 7 months since their last upload, this channel gives a vibe of 2018, The good-looking animation and good quality of videos.... miss those days

[@autismandgaming4532]

I have Gamemaker to thank for one of my favourite games of all time - Pizza Tower. Serving as a spiritual successor to the Wario Land quadrilogy this is one of the most unhinged and Delightful 2d Platformers ever released. It's one of those games where everything just comes together. And paired with an iconic development and Loyal modding community, and you have a recipe for one of the defining games of the Gamemaker engine

[@rodrigoherrera8875]

how can i download gamemaker studio 2?

[@yv70bnomemes]

After the godot drama this looks good enough

[@josuegalindo7228]

Do Godot next please!

[@alandunaway3000]

GameMaker, back in the 8 era could make games with Parallax 3D, full 3D, fake, sprite-based 3D like Doom and isometric games.

[@FaceTimePolice]

Gamemaker is so underrated. Graze Counter GM was my favorite shmup of 2023, and it was made with GameMaker (hence, the “GM” in its title). It inspired me to start working on my own shmup with GameMaker! 🎮😁👍

[@joshelguapo5563]

I loved Gamemaker in middle school and highschool but since they removed the free version, I don't see a reason to keep going with them when Godot is a thing. But I do have some great memories I gotta say.

[@Yash-gangurde310]

I really wish to make games my first idea to make a copy and colour version of limbo game

[@HelperWesley]

Awesome video! Maybe one day we'll see something like this for GDevelop? It's a great engine that's been gaining popularity, and it's the engine I've been using for a few years now. 👍

[@Peridotclod]

is there a diffrence between gamemaker and gamemaker studio 2

[@SwowChowsk]

Whoa- at 3:28 this video activated the haptics on my iPhone. I had no idea this was possible 🤯

[@alexanderscholz8855]

UHHHH back to life!!!! Yeeeaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhh

[@Yora21]

I was hoping for some information what this game engine is good at and what considerations there are to chose this one over others for a given game project.

[@thadz2493]

Can I make a strategy game with this game engine?

[@dynaProTV]

Is hollow knight also made with gamemaker?

[@alandunaway3000]

One question, @GameMakerEngine Why is the professional version more expensive than the enterprise one?

[@Olivia_meoww]

the enterprise one is a subscription whereas the professional version is a single payment for a commercial license

So I downloaded it and ... I cannot even read or understand the UI window. I am using M2 Macbook and an external monitor and apparently, this works only on Windows? with one monitor? I have never seen so obvious quality issue. It's shocking they haven't fixed it yet, and it's not new from what I see.

[@KingUsyk]

Your first mistake was apple 😂

[@Kazihirom]

i use to make rpg's and weird games out of age of empires 2, i imagine if you try to sell those though microsoft will sue the pants off you

[@BunnyNotFound]

I really liked these sources and once I saw hotline miami my ears perked up, going through everything will be a breeze.

[@fenekart]

I made first game one year ago. Maybe this video is a sign to come back to GM

[@cupiidsvs]

Whats your game name? :o

If you just use "if" statements instead of "else if" statements it allows diagonal movement in any direction

Can you make a fighting game in GameMaker? I have an idea for a game I wanna make that's a mix of fighting game and rpg. Like there's an overworld and you can take some enemies out without having to fight them or beat them directly.

Great video, thanks for all the info, I'm starting to learn about programming and it is very useful that you promote channels related to it!

[@-LightSmit]

Thanks for sharing. This is why I didn’t get Game Maker. The custom language is very limited in my opinion. Sticking with RPG Maker with JavaScript training and it’s a win win situation to make a game and learn something that can create or give you a job, in my opinion.

[@lemonberries]

GML is very similar to Java and C like languages

[@一本のうんち]

rpg maker is much more limited than gm in spite of js. also all languages are kinda same, if you know 1-2 you can pickup any other over the weekend.

[@gryzlaw]

Welcome back, awesome video. Recently downloaded GM to use the 12 month licence I had hanging around of the old subscription model. Still undecided where to start do this is a great resource

[@Phodis]

I wish I could use a GM1.4 interface on top of GM2 .. I hate GM2's interface, it seems bloated to me.

[@laptoprelaks]

exactly lol

[@wilpuriarts5895]

Glad to have you back.
