well?

Yeah i have used it for like 3 years now... never really  finished anything though, most were shmups

Same here btg. I'm currently TRYING to learn BlitzMax, but the syntax is a bit odd and object creation has my head hurting. I finish most of my gm games though.

i like it do you guys have it registered?

As soon as I could. More because I wanted to support the project though.

I've regestered and it was worth every penny in my opinion. But I serously doubt that Mark Overmars plans to make any major changes to it. He used to do an updatw like every 3 months there hasn't been one in like a year.

blitzmax stuck to me like glue :D. unfortunately I didn't quite have the cash to register it so it's out of my grasp now  [the trial was awesome though ]. I've actually started to pick on python [open source multiplatform programming language, lots of uses :D]. Would you have any links to games you've made?

does anyone want the registration code?

i wasnt really i was gonna say...

 

TOO BAD!!!!!!!

i didnt get rpg maker either. people say it's really easy but i dont understand crap of it. plus its supposed to make bad games. i like game maker. its simple and very versatile..

btw does anyone here have a solution for multiplaying.. the standard stuff doesnt get past my router...

*mental note: dra chan for betatesting*

The standard works if done right, I've never played with my router settings, but Wanderlust works fine. It's a prime example of a good GM game too. I was gonna redo the boss GFX, but they never contacted me later after giving me the position. DX

Did you ever finish? It looks fun to play.

i should post some of the animations...

I used to use GM quite a bit.  I joined a team and we had plans on making an online game with it, but none of us could figure out the multiplayer portion, or find anyone to join us that could.

Ive since moved on to GLBasic.  Its great for crossplatform and can be used with C++.

haha. Don Miguel DESTROYED JAPAN :(

Game maker is what introduced me to both programming and pixel art, too. Ive grown pretty good with the GM language so far, and experimented somewhat (Made a kickass lighting system with multiple light sources for one, and it doesnt even lag, darnit! :o )
I made two games for GM, hosted on www.gamingw.net : Sluggys' adventure and its sequel. The sequel was done two years ago... Now I work on way too much projects at once, and in plus got to work around with C# for college...

I put up a link to those in the welcome topic, but that was before seeing that topic, so hell im gonna put hem here two:
http://www.gamingw.net/games/221 (Sluggys' adventure 1: Fun, very very hard and long. LOTS of bugs and collision problems...)
http://www.gamingw.net/games/302 (Sluggy's adventure 2: Looks better than the first, but not nearly as fun, long or hard. But still good. Less buggy.)

I never tend to finish any game projects I do mostly because of the time that graphics demand and I usually only start something to see if I can do something code wise then actually creating a final project.  Lately I've challenged myself to actually finish things and I've found that they take a lot more planning then I would have originally thought, even something relatively simple can take a lot of time in the planning phase if you want it to have a unique feel, so anyone that can get a finished product out (no matter what the language/program use to make it) that has any amount of production value has my respect.

What a superb name

heh. those both look pretty cool :)

I kinda quit GM because I bought blitz, I HATE the gm community when it comes to graphics. Really i'm so tired of 14 year olds asking "DoEs any1 hav good SONIC ripped sprites?" It would make me very happy if the artists from the sonic games sued them all. I'm about the only person on that damn site that doesn't make rehashed clone games. HOnestly if i see any more blinding "c_lime" in games i'm gonna have to cut some hands off.

THen there is the user "yourself" who thinks he's God's gift to man. He's a smug little snot that i would like to give a pappywhippin in real life.

i would love to get into the game making thang, perhaps gamemaker
is a way, anyone know if theres a Apple Mac version?

@P_O : u just got pwned lol.

There isn't an apple version but there is a Game Maker like App for the Mac, there's a link to it on Apple's website under "Gaming".

I agree.
