  • Not sure if any of you folks have any interest in development, but there's an amazing HumbleBundle offer on at the moment for the pro version of GameMaker (which aside from some additional export options is basically the same as the free version). But the awesome addition is the source code for a bunch of games made using it. Definitely recommend picking it up.

    They had a similar deal a while back for a bunch of other games built with GameMaker and their source code. Really interesting to pick them apart and see how different devs approach their projects.

    If only they'd do the same for an engine like Unreal or Unity that uses a proper damn language...

    Anyway, link here: https://www.humblebundle.com/gamemaker-bundle

  • Very is the answer. So, am I write in thinking that GameMaker is basically some kind of tool allowing you to code and export a simple game (like Premiere is for video)?
    What language does it use? I've been faffing around with Swift recently having no other experience of coding beyond a bit of web faffery (bootstrap/html) but would love to do more if only for a bit of fun.

    re. the HumbleBundle - with the source code of the other games I could tinker with and adapt something for practice?

  • Cheers for the heads up. Seen people using it and it looks like a decent programme. Will have to wait until I get Windows on the Mac to use it though..

    Been learning unity over the summer and have been having a lot of fun. Currently making a 3D puzzle game with a friend which is slowly coming together.
