GameMaker Turn Based battles - Source code out now

Make a JRPG style, turn based battle system for your RPG in GameMaker. A full, free tutorial series on coding each step of building this system is coming soon so be sure to subscribe in order to be notified of when that starts to go live!

All assets and code that I created here are free to use in commercial games and projects, but should not be redistributed as a tutorial project, or "as is".

I've been so hyped for this!
Amazing job as always, this looks fantastic already

[Xigzagamer]

I've been waiting for something like this for about 6-8 years...
No joke, this is one of the tutorials I've wanted most since I got the original gamemaker studio. No matter how hard I looked, I never managed to find a good up to date tutorial for making a turn based RPG specifically.

Thank you for helping my dear friend!! She says your videos have very great explanations and make it easy to understand and follow along

Hey man take your time with the videos. Just the fact that you're showing people how to make a basic rpg engine in GameMaker is amazing. I've been trying to make a basic sonic engine but the only tutorial is over 5 years old, the guy doesn't respond to newer comments, and it looked like he changed things in the code but never mentioned said changes. If I could just get a basic bare bones engine done I would post it to the GameMaker marketplace for either free or dirt cheap so that anyone could make their own sonic like game. So I REALLY appreciate you going out of your way to do these videos. Your platformer tutorial helped me with my college AI class!

[Coda]

Ahhh Dang! Im excited. I completed all of your other tutorials, and slowly turned them into my own game.

[benjeminpenguin]

Im pumped! I've been needing a good new tutorial for a battle system!

[GeoShed]

You are literally my hero. I've been watching your stuff forever, and always wanted to see a video from you on Turn Based Combat. I can't wait to follow along when I get the chance.

[ivanshiek]

I have my idea on how to make the system, but seeing how someone else makes it is good research.

[Corilo]

Since I started learning GM I've always wanted a good tutorial about turn-based battles! Thank you, so much! ^_^

[dopamine]

its so good youre keeping it modular and able to add stuff depending on what people want in their specific game, good stuff as always

[gustavoberwanger]

I love these simplistic yet refined mechanics and visuals

[aloisalden]

This is so cool, thank you so much for making this! Looking forwards to poking through the code later :D

[justinwebber]

Great stuff Final Fantasy 7 is one of my favourite games, I figuratively can't wait for the tutorial series.

[Moonchild]

You're a very nice guy for making all these tutorial videos! Keep it up.

[NicoDitirro]

This looks great! A lot of people want to make JRPG games (myself included), but don't want to use RPG Maker due to the lack of flexibility. It's a little too late for my game, but will definitely check it out as I'm sure I'll learn new things anyway.

[Linkerpink]

I'm so hyped for this. I've been wanting to make an rpg for years now and I used the argp series as a base for the project. I want it to be turn based so I removed the battle system from that series and now that this tutorial series for a turn based rpg battle system is nearly done, I can't wait to implement this to my rpg. I'm probably going to expand this system for my game because I want the battle system to be different like: paper mario or undertale for example.

[SorceressGamelab]

This is amazing. Thank you for making this!🧡💙

[XeroKaos]

Awesome work can't wait for it to come out

[meatbleed]

This is so sick. Something that works I can throw in projects when they're young. Thanks for making it

[Icefox]

This looks Awesome mate :) FF7 is my All time Fav :)
