Hi. smile.gif

I just wanted everyone to know(if you didn't know already. smile.gif) of a pretty cool program called Game Maker. From my experience with it, it's very simple, yet you can still make awesome games with it. Now, when I say "awesome" keep in mind, you won't be able to make games like "Halo" or something like that with it. But you can make pretty cool games still, it is capable of 2D and 3D games, although 3D is a newer concept to Game Maker.

If you want to download it, you can find it here
If you need any help with it, you can PM me here, email me at jessedameron@gmail.com or go to my site which can be found here and look at my example page.

It is free, but you have to pay 20$ USD to register it, otherwise you can only make 2D games.

-JD

cool, I like it biggrin.gif , somehow I prefer 3D game studio 6, It has this c-script language to do the scenario programming and model instructions with. And the rest is designing levels, models, lightning etc. I kinda enjoyed exploring all the stuff it had, but at some point I had to switch to a Debian box, and the time I spent at my winboze box now is not ment for game programming. I wonder if there is some not-very-hard-to-learn way to write linux games in 3D as well.

I have both of them, and they are both OK, but really i think 3D Games Studio 6 is better. You can make Realistic 3D Games without having to pay a cent! Now thats a good game maker. Happy Saturday from Imtay22!

Cool, I wish those programs had come out when I was in high school and I had a bunch of time. They look easy and great, I have always wanted to make my own game. Happy saturday to everyone! happy.gif

Well, I have used GameMaker and it's really easy to build games. There are tutorials on the site. But if you want to build real game, then it's better to learn a programing language like C++. There are good games in 3D made with GameMaker that you can try on the site or on the forum. Hopefully one day there will be free to make 3D games. biggrin.gif

I am seeking a game concept to develop. I have the ability to get the time, skills, resources and energy needed to develop a game but I dont have an idea to develop. If you have one, I would appreciate hearing from you. My income is not dependent on what I do each day so I choose to spend my time at the computer. I am good at putting resources together with the people who need them. And I am looking for a project or two to work on.
