Good work

nice

That water is immaculate. Boat would be proud.

pretty cool you're still working on it !

Do you have a full screen pixelation shader and just have it ignore sprites / ui elements?

2:53 ”OooOo gamer moment“ 🗣️🔥🔥

The subtitles say fight against evil youtube alligator rotterdam which is a great name for a villain tbh

Best way to learn a engine make pong ,you’ll find in most engine it will take hours in gamemaker it takes minutes 😂

wth was that "HIIIGHER" at 5:26???

[Bookmark] 2:46 Lack of ability to change the name of an object without having to change the entire code...

You get ai to make the monsters and that'd be easier to pixelate. 'Draw big green slime end boss', 'Draw side view', 'Draw critical moment of slime attacking with a sword'. Also that blob placeholder comment sounds like a great idea.

It's always interesting to see others opinions on engines! I started with gamemaker in HS but have since used other engines like Unity, Godot and a bit of Unreal and I recently went back to gamemaker for a short project and... yeah I don't really like it anymore haha. I find it really restrictive now and doing UI is a nightmare. Glad they went back to the one time payment (excluding consoles)

funny how you said you dont like the game maker workspace. That's probably one of my favourite features. :)

great devlog :) I completely agree with your point about sticking with a Game Engine you know, it makes it much easier to actually make progress on the game. I think one other key point to point out is that, specific engines and languages offer potentially more benefits beyond indie game development, like C# + Unity, because it's so heavily used within Games industry would be beneficial to learn because it's a skillset that offers more job opportunities as well.

Try working with Godot first before saying you think you will like it better than GM. I didn't find it intuitive at all. I found it to be very convoluted, and if you don't know your way around it or its GDscript, ChatGPT isn't going to help you as much as you think.

Hi im seth and i need help with my dream game its a smash bros game from scratch in game maker im not going to used platform engine because i dont know what im doing

Have you tried GDevelop

Use shift+ctrl+f to change a variable in all your code so changing an object name is two step : change the name and then change all the call in the code. And missing semicolor will in some cases make the game crash in more advanced gml coding, especialy when using yyc (C++ compiler) but at first I didn't even know about them and my code worked without them but as my code got more and more advanced and in depth, missing semicolon caused more and more crashes so I now put them everywhere. But increadible video, I really liked it, I agree with you all along

I simply like working with GM. I tried Godot and really wanted to like it but making very simple things like collision or movement or shooting seem to be super convoluted, and I absolutely hate the compartmentalize system it has. You have to work with signals and what not to simply make the instances interact with each other. So much hassle. so I switched back to GM. It's not perfect by any means but I can work with it. With Godot I'm constantly frustrated.

Iv used Gamemaker in the past (7 years ago) and I'm just getting back into game dev. I messed around with Godot and while I like GDscript, GLM is more straight forward Like Godot is if Input.is_action_pressed("ui_left"): # Your code here While GML is if keyboard_check(vk_left) { // Your code here } In this case, it's not that big an issue but some things take way too much typing out Godots amazing animation player has me in a chokehold hold though. And Gamemakers game UI is a burden. Ugh I need the two companies to just work together to make a super engine lol

bro can u make a rpg tutorial serices please

what game engine are you using?

how did you get your game files on the right hand side to look like that? edit.. NM I figured it out Also, I do not like depth = -y because that is based on the origin of the sprite. I like to use depth = -bbox_bottom; because now I can use the Origin where ever I want with out loosing the sorting effect

I loved gms1.4, but just downloaded gms2 and...wth? I hate the new UI and how stuff is displayed. I can't find anything and it feels so obtuse. For a 2d game, the older version felt so much more intuitive.

I really like working with GameMaker because i used this engine for years and im still learning so much new things!

Looks great so far ! I wonder if you can change the map to make ot look like grass or rocks... Might add diversity

The absolutely worse thing about GM is no UI system in it yet, although it is on the roadmap. Drawing UI with the draw event is utterly terrible. The 2nd worse thing is no inbuilt tile collisions and autotile at runtime.

The video seems really interesting but the sounds is too low

His head isn't THAT shiny.

How about some common predators? If you want the theme of a hunter society then I suppose having wolves, bears or boars would fit. And also to keep tension, you could have some sort of way to have the player control the action. Minecraft allows you to skip the hastle of monsters simply by sleeping. The players that build houses, farm, or do more settling down have the option of no combat. While the adventurous player seeks out dark caves and things that they will know bring danger. So perhaps there could be a rival hunter guild/tribe that may attack you if you provoke them, per say like how pillaged raids work. You raid thier base for loot, then you go back to your base and have that wave based action there that your friend suggested. Of course, you can always scale it back and replace the rival guild/tribe with say a wolf den, solving both problems without extra work.

Why not make a monster normal size, but scale it up with code

the solution outsourcing the lack of skill to another person who has the skill

Idk if it is a good idea, but you can use macros to save the object name, so instead of calling the object, you call the macro, wich contains the object name, so whenever you want to change the object name, you not need to worry for changing it in the entire code as you're using the macro. Thats one option, the other is using ctrl+shift+F and find the old name and change with the new one

I do think for 2D pixel games GameMaker is the best game engine for the job.

Fascinated by your game art, but as a programmer I would recommend not writing words in your images otherwise you are stuck with english. And in most game engines the support for localisation is pretty easy to do.

meant as constructive criticism* although your hart seems to be in the right place. It feels a lot like your asking ppl to build your game for you. same with the AI. Collaboration is not a bad thing, and there are 'open source' licences that requires participants to give the project back to the original creator after every change. However, if you are having projects sent back to you, you should have a great understanding of programming, to avoid bugs and structures of code that could create problems later. I obviously don't know much about your situation, knowledge or intent. But if you don't have a huge amount of programming knowledge it might be helpful to run the project with someone who is a programmer. this way you would have less pressure on yourself as well as someone just as dedicated to go through your design with. If this is the case I'd suggest going to some kind of meet up, putting something on githud to see who it attracts and if you could work with them, talk to other game devs that regularly submit their work to things such as game jams and collaborate with them on small projects to see if you can work together. Its likely you will need to go and and find the ppl you need, rather than them finding you. you will need to stretch FAR. *This is just feedback and suggestions. Please do not feel you 'have' to follow it. Its simply something to consider, and may not even be relevant to your situation.

Im sorry, but open source does not = good...
