QUOTE(football123213 @ Oct 2 2004, 12:37 AM) Um ya looks cool but i cant get it 2 work lol do i need 2 no c++? 2 use it? No, you do not need to know C++ to use Game Maker. Game Maker has its own programming Language called GML. It is far easier to understand and use than C++. However, Game Maker can use DLLs made in C++ to add more flexibility to your game(s).

Hey me and my friend are making a game, with gamemaker and just for practice but for the 2nd one will be 3D and here is where u can get the game once it comes out :
www.localfx.info
and it is free for download when finished and if it is a good game then we will make special editons for those ppl who want to pay money for quality stuff.
It is called "Gerudian Legacy : The 13 Shards " and we will have an online feature for 10$ if anyones interested (2nd and 3rd one only) and it will be a really long story as well. We have been working on it for about 1 year and we are around 1/4 done, and now we are sitting down and working for bout 2 - 5 hours a day.

Hope u all are interested

personally i think Game Maker sucks cause you have to pay to remove the ads and to get more functions(ex. online, dlls, particles, etc.)...the map editor stinks >.< and for RPGs dont use GM use Sphere(sphere.sf.net),ika(ika.sf.net),VERGE(verge-rpg.com)

Well, I've been a long time GM user, and let me tell you, it is not limited in any stretch of the word, once you learn the basics. Although it is definatly easier to make a side scrolling shooter with GameMaker than an FPS or a platform/shooter/adventure game, both are possible. GM 6.0 has made great strides in graphic performance over previous versions, with rotation, alpha blending, scaling, fonts, etc., and allow all these features to those who know very little about how DX works. GML(game maker's scripting language) is a great way to get started programming, although it is far more lax than any other language I've seen.

Easy for you to say you created GMSock(or proxy not sure...) but I have to keep version 5 just to use newer DLLs and crap casue of the restriction without registering >.<...and I initialized a variable once and it said it didnt exist...

Good one. A good 2D game idea is very important for the gamemaker.
So could you share some points with us?
Or is there any good game could be introduce to us?
So we can learn from them.

Sphere(sphere.sf.net), VERGE(verge-rpg.com), ika(ika.sf.net), same as I mentioned above these are made for RPGs with their own language. They are also great for other games. And the one dude who said the second version of his game is gonna be 3D...3D with GM sucks just use C++(kick butt!). It takes tooooo long to do 3D in GM.
