I don't need to much help... but... First thing's first. where can i find a good game making program? and when i say "good" i mean "easy to use and able to function properly".

Please, read stickies before posting.

oh. ....well.... now i feel embarased.... but thanks

I wish I would've known about platform studio. That could mean NO GAMEMAKER.
*runs*
No seriously, game maker is good, but its a pain in the ass, especially when you don't have enough free time to learn the language.

so freaking true. gamemaker looks good, but learning it..... So, any questions about what the game is about?

Game Maker isn't that tedious to learn, imo. If you know about 10-50 basic GML functions, and know how to use the variables you set up, then for the most part, you should be able to create a decent platformer at least.

than.... how do you add say.... a player select screen?

screw the character select screen for now. anyone have any questions about what this game might be?

No Platform Studio was terrible. Editting it to have mario sprites or any different sprites is probably more tedious then learning how to use Gamemaker. Not to mention for no reason it would glitch up the graphics for no real reason.


Game Maker isn't that hard. Just look at some examples or tutorials on the Main site, 64digits, or the GMC and then look at the help file included with Gamemaker; it's actually pretty useful.

That's why i re-downloaded it.

I'll bite, what is the game about?

and if you decide to make it in game maker, I could help.

I am making it in game maker. the game is... well... i have a couple story ideas in my head, and the game's an action adventure. or... i think it is.... it's gonna be a fighting game with a few different characters and I already have a couple secret bosses in mind! (No this is not gonna be a pointless MvsL thing.) and i was thinking of adding powered up forms. (but.... have no idea which order to stick them in for some characters)

I guess, this.
I'm working on my own game at the moment, but I guess I could lend a hand, if you want.

Thanks! I've already got some ideas ready including Secret bosses!

Cool. I've been working on the engine for a while, is this suitable?

Just one question: is the main character supposed to not realy be animated when he walks? other than that, i'm sure it'll work. (and once i finish ajusting specific things, i'll show you what i have other than that engine)

here's the file.

This is a very good character select. And yes, I am working on animated characters.

Good. i'll add some more characters (and if these files can be PM'd, a secret boss)
