It was today I learned that you can use #markdown in #GameMaker 's method descriptions and it will render correctly in the IntelliSense tool tip 😮 Pretty method descriptions here we come! #gamedev

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

New #gamemaker script on my Helpful Scripts github. ~~~draw_sprite_3d~~~ It's SUPER janky, and 90X SLOWER than draw_sprite_ext! But it looks pretty cool, eh?

$20,000 of royalty free commercial use video game music. Available now for only $10 on: moonanagames.itch.io/80-songs-pack Is it worth it? Don't take my word for it, just look at what the ppl have said instead. #gamedev 🎮 #ttrpg #vtuber

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.

A trio of new and improved functions for drawing sprites with a shear transformation has been posted. gmlscripts.com/script/draw_... gmlscripts.com/script/draw_... gmlscripts.com/script/draw_...

Is it worth spending 10 minutes of a tutorial video showing in detail how to do something the wrong way to show why it's wrong before reverting and doing it again using a better method that also has problems but then releasing a second video that does it yet a different way that is also kinda bad?

For those of you #gamemaker users curious about the order in which events generally execute each frame of your game. (The Draw Gui Event has the instance_destroy() it)

New Update To Helpful GML Scripts on Github 🔹updated random_point_on_boundary() to allow exclusions on specific edges. 🔹New Script: broadcast_message_is_from_id() Only usable in a broadcast message event. #gamedev #gamemaker

Instance #1,229,821 of me wanting to create a folder in my #gamemaker asset list, and looking for the option in the "create" sub menu.

New Resolution & Camera tutorials (4 videos) are recorded and ready to be edited. Now I'm torn on what's next. I started working on a Pausing tutorial, but I also feel there isn't a good Items/Inventory/Stuff tutorial out there right now. So which should I prioritize? Pausing or Working with Data?

I added my "Visible Pause" system into the Windy Woods template to see how difficult it would be to add a transparent pause menu and hit stop effects. Besides the leaves in the Effect Layer (can't pause those), it was so easy. #gamemaker #gamedev #tutorials

Been a busy morning...

Crammed 4 months of indie dev into a 1 min video of Shifting Sands 🌞... our desert sci-fi scrapping roguelike. Think Moonlighter meets Dredge. Appreciate any support as we kick off marketing 🙏 #indiedev #gamedev #indiegame

I know we're all passing around the same $20 bill, but Royalty Free-For-All, the game I've been working on, just went up on Kickstarter. If ya'll checked it out or even just liked/shared this post, that would mean the entire world to me. Thanks, #gamedev www.kickstarter.com/projects/aaa...

Ichorous is getting a Kickstarter in January! Check out the devlog we posted! More info on the way! #gamedev #indiedev mattstov.itch.io/ichorous/dev...

Always making sure Vividerie is optimized enough to handle every single item at once

Been messing with Split Screen and multiple viewports in #gamemaker for a tutorial -you know- so I can speak a bit more authoritatively on certain subjects. And, holy shit, I was not prepared for the madness that is "positioning and sizing" your viewports.

So @pixelatedpope.bsky.social and I found out what happens when you accidentally pass a struct as an array index in GameMaker

solo'd the @gamemakerstoolkit.com game jam this year! made a faced paced arcade game called "snakebutt" where you encircle enemies to destroy them! check it out jamierowan.itch.io/snakebutt #gmtk #indiegame #indiedev #pixelart

Fuck collective shout.

Hey, #gamemaker s! If you haven't checked out my Helpful GML Scripts Github Repo, you should! I always have the folder open to drag and drop random scripts into my project or Discord. Check it out here: github.com/PixelatedPop...

Parallax scrolling creates the illusion of a dynamic, living world by moving background layers at varying speeds. It’s simple and effective. Learn how: gamemaker.io/en/blog/crea...

My game of the year for 2024! An absolute must play, especially for any #Gamemaker dev, and another criminally undervalued game even at full price!

Seriously, if you are even remotely interested in this type of game, you owe it to yourself to pick it up. 11 dollars is criminally low for the quality of this game.

The new FF Tactics remake looks like HOT GARBAGE. What is this upscale? It looks absolutely miserable and I feel like I'm taking crazy pills because nobody else is complaining about it. LOOK AT IT (original left, remake right, obviously)

Not that anyone asked, but Blue Prince is currently way ahead of every other release for my 2025 Game of the Year. I don't see anything on the horizon that will even come close. This is an "Outer Wilds" level event, people! A must play. Go in 100% blind; don't look anything up! Immerse yourself!
