New #GameMaker Anatomy video! Really excited about this one. Hope you enjoy it. This is the first video in the new... uh... format? Let me know what you think! youtu.be/eVBKhldpZKc

This is a pretty incredible opportunity for all you #GameMaker developers out there. There's a guide on how to get started here: github.com/reddit/devvi... Good luck, everyone!

How to abbreviate large numbers in GameMaker using either letters (e.g. 1 billion becomes 1b) or powers of 10 (one billion becomes 1 x 10^9) #GameDev chequered.ink/abbreviate-l...

EXCALIMURDER is a nonlinear murder mystery game. You investigate in any order and connect the dots in your notebook. Also, Excalibur is the murder weapon #pixelart #indiedev #GameMaker

No new #gamemaker video this week, but I'm very excited about next week's video! "GM Anatomy: Code Execution Order"

Last video in my new #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series is out now! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Jl5K...

Adding in a bit of ✨Game Juice ✨ (a couple visual effects or sound effects) can really change how fun your game feels!

Adding responsive feedback to your interactions can make simple actions SUPER satisfying!

Part 3 of my 4 part #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series is out now! Follow along as we add features like zooming, camera shaking, and more to our camera system! www.youtube.com/watch?v=a0RJ...

Last couple of days have been really productive. Released the 2nd Cameras tutorial, and recorded the Voice Over for THREE new videos. Super excited to get these out. Probably some time in the middle of January - Early February.

You have a #gamemaker game, and it's on the Steam or Itchio Winter Sale? Reply with your game then, I'll repost them all!! #indiegame #gamedev #Steam #itchio

My next #gamemaker video series is all about Pausing! Here's a sneak peek of what you end up with after you finish it. This is done using a system unlike anything you've ever seen in a pause tutorial... as far as I know... I'm not omniscient 🤷‍♂️. #gamedev #indiedev #hashtagsaresilly

Cheers everyone who's been playing the Lelu demo, it really means a lot! If you haven't played yet, here's a link to the steam demo - store.steampowered.com/app/3131340/... #indiedev #gamedev #pixelart

Part 1 of my new #gamemaker Cameras and Resolution series! Probably not going to be terribly helpful for most of you experienced users as this is intended for brand new GM users who just want to size their window and get a very basic camera up and running. youtu.be/gWaPZQiB9RQ

You’ve started making your game but when should you start playtesting? The short answer is: Now! @oandcogames.bsky.social show how to playtest your game the right way. 🔗 youtu.be/bk5tAZ-J1yg

As I'm going through and putting the finishing touches on the new Camera Series, I have to constantly remind myself that it's okay they aren't "perfect." Even if my YouTube channel is 10 years old, I'm basically starting over and having to re-learn all these skills.

@pixelatedpope.bsky.social loves creating written tutorials on Reddit, video tutorials on YouTube, releasing useful tools and systems and helping others through Discord. 🔗 www.pixelatedpope.com

And this is why we don't preemptively optimize. If you have a problem, and then you put in a solution to fix it, you can immediately test if it had any effect at all. If you just think something might be a future problem, and you try to solve it... you get this...

I added conveyor belts! Inspired by the conveyor platforms of SMB2 and 3. Always a fun obstacle to deal with in a game. Ideally, enemies and objects will also be affected. Also, switches that affect their direction and speed are in the works. Hope you enjoy. #gamemaker

Delisting old tutorials is always a hard decision. I put a lot of work into that thing, and was really proud of it at the time. But then someone comes into the discord server asking questions about it and I'm immediately horrified. Anyway, my old DS Map Save/Load tutorials are no longer available.
