Is there any chance to see a tutorial for making a volumetric fog shader? I searched EVERYWHERE but seems no one in the GameMaker Community has ever done it! Thank you for your work i really appreciate that!

[@thirdworldrider6991]

for a game making engine we could use some things common to all games....dialogue engine, or gui widgets, textboxes we can customise so much missing!

[@GameMakerEngine]

We're working on this! Thanks for your feedback :)

[@GabrielNunes-kx2hv]

Yeah, it sucks the way it is

[@uelsimon]

thanks for this. Can we see an example of using GameMaker for word games. where we can pull content from a data base of some sort in the app?

Is there a way to create a perspective text? Like You make a monitor sprite, and this monitor is not directly looking at the screen but it's inclined to a side like a cube, so the idea is making the text incline to that side to fit with the screen,

how do I remove the "ref instance" from the draw_text string (id) in Gamemaker?

[@travisspence982]

So I'm trying to make a few buttons for a menu, and I'd like to change the colors when the mouse enters. It seems to work but it changes the color across all my buttons instead of just the one, any suggestions?

Multi colored text will be the death of me

I’m new to this game maker studio thing so I don’t really know how to get to GML visual or GML code =( (Plz help)

help me, I press the f5 key to test what happened, but I just have endless loading, and the same with debugging

Hi! Gamemaker Team, I really hate to disturb you, but there's a problem I've been facing for a while. This problem is not about texts, it is with the variable gravity, to test, I place my character at the top of the room, and, while he is falling, he can move freely, from left to right, but when he comes into contact with the floor, he no longer moves. But, when I remove the gravity variable, it can run normally on the ground, I don't know which part of my code is wrong, I started it very recently, so there may be a stupid error, anyway, thanks for your attention.
