hands down the BEST beginner tutorial I've found on GM. Easy to follow and everything is explained in detail and easy to understand

[mrunknown]

Sir thank you for making this tutorial that is aimed at complete beginners who want to get into game dev, it is clear, precise and detailed with everything being explained well, it is the best tutorial I have found and so much better than that last one I used when I first started trying to use game maker, I gave up on it the first time for over a year because of how bad my first experience was and it was just complicated and not fun at all and I learned absolutely nothing from it the first time around

Hi! I've already done this tut series by reading your blog, but it's good to see you have released a video version :D

[uCanCallMeBob]

At 53:34 this is a good tutorial, you really explain everything well and help others in situations like doing the wrong thing, which I nearly did but you helped lol. I'll give an update later.

27:06 Very nice Made me feel more passionate about game dev

[KetchupKidKyle]

I was so excited to do this, but i do not want to use the drag and drop system. I wish this could be done again but with the parallel GM Code as well, like the space rocks tutorial. I may come back and do it, but very disappointed. I understand why this is useful though and im glad its here for people that need it.

[veloryash]

thx Ur english Is easy to understand properly.

[YEIYO]

Great tutorial, i been able to now make some basic games thanks to this, but i got a question that i can't find the answer anywhere at 52:53 the game previews and lags a bit while jumping, ¿is this normal? it also happen to me.

[DanteCorwyn]

Will there be a GML version of this tutorial in the future?

[Attiv]

[edwinherrera]

I have a question
Are the sounds copyrighted, or can they be used?

[welzthegreat]

This was published on my bday, I like it already (ha)..also, great video GameMaker

[JackSkelig]

Thanks for this tutorial ! It's very nice for beginners in GM =) Is it possible to have a GML version ? I follow this one to get basics but I'm not very interested by DnD.

[adonaaron]

can you do a video for the new version of gamemaker

[XPSYCHOIZEDX]

Nevermind lmao now i just gotta figure out why my windows arent spawning close enough

[TheDarkSaplings]

I have tried this now, and i think this program is too confusing, advanced and difficult to handle. And i'm not very good at English. 🥺🥺

[davidayliffe]

@19:53 those properties are not shown in the latest version (2024.4.1.152) when running on Mac....

Hi, I finished the Fire Jump tutorial with "quite" success.

The only problem I have is that the game do not add the "score" for the rescued civilians.
Every time I rescue a civilian, the score counter shows "1" and automatically returns to "0".

The height counter works perfectly.

I looked in the YouTube tutorial comments in case anyone had the same problem, but no one seems to mess with that.

I remade parts of the tutorial (both the written one and this one) but I still can't find the reason why the game does not add the rescued civilians. Any ideas to help this newbie?
THANK YOU!
