Simply put, if I can do, I know that anyone can, this is the objective truth! You CAN learn to develop games using this tool and it really is not that hard. Yes, there are many platforms that advertise “learn to develop games the easy way”, but I have personally tried nearly all of them and Gamemaker Studio is the only one that not only stuck but proved the marketing pitch. The gamemaker studio platform is without question one of the best ways to learn game development there is out there today in my humble opinion. More than that however I want to show my appreciation for the wonderful platform I use (Gamemaker Studio 2) and in particular the amazing Gamemaker community that helped me, encouraged me, and got me to the point where I am today, a full-fledged, very inspired hobbyist who can develop his own games.
Today I want to show off a bit because even though my games are pretty crap in the big scheme of things, they are mine, I made them myself and I’m quite proud. I have never advertised on my blog the fact that I make my own games, mainly because… frankly I suck at it! That said, I have really enjoyed working on my games over the years and though I have never published anything and aside from my daughter and I no one has ever actually played my games, it is something I do and it is part of my gaming experience which is what this blog is all about.
