Gamemaker asks for significantly more coding skills than RPGMaker... While coding might be necessary to make an "outstanding" RPGMaker game, you can make a game in RPGMaker without writing a single line of code. RPGMaker has MANY limitations.... but easy to use without knowing any coding.

Hey, not sure if you are still replying to comments here, but when i run the game after creating the asteroid objects, none spawn - any idea why?
@Sherlockrogers1
@Sherlockrogers1 9 дней назад
i assume its because there no 'create instance' happening anywhere in the events?

I hope to see a bodycam game that is basically a puzzle game and maybe has a story where the bodycam makes sense. Or it could be coop. I tried to share the idea in reddit but they want wayyyy too much details for a game that I aint even making.

You can design a story first and drive your game with it, but you need to know how you're going to make the game play. That can be day 1 before you start writing any code. If you're making an RPG, a platformer, a tower defense game, a dungeon design game, whatever, you need to understand these kinds of games and the mechanics in them to write a narrative. I've had entire elements of a narrative come out of playing a game in a certain genre and going "wouldn't it be cool if…" and then expanding on the mechanic I'm thinking on, then building a story that doesn't work without that mechanic. I've had this lead to ideas in the narrative that could be expressed by other mechanics in game. The story, the world, and the mechanics of the game can take shape all at the same time, and the story can shape the game or the game can shape the story.

What deters me: the market and business is overflowing with AI generated, low effort shovel ware. Making any success harder and harder to achieve. Also being twice or more the age of the regular modern "game dev" feels discouraging, out of touch and "late to the game". Especially, when all those high-schoolers release dev logs regularly, got time to spend and make success seem easy (and have somehow a sense of business)

In my game I had basically the entire story planned out before I began. (Really only the beginning and end). I knew it was going to be a turn-based RPG but I didn’t know how to keep that interesting. I eventually added the blacksmith which is probably the one spot where the most happens in the game. You can upgrade, enhance, or craft weapons/armors. Upgrading is a flat stat increase, enhancing is a way of changing the code to portray a new idea (a more complex way of saying that it’s just minecraft enchantments), and crafting is just crafting. Besides the basic RPG combat and this system there isn’t a whole lot in my game. I did go out of my way to idiot-proof my code to the point where anyone could work on it. I think the biggest reason I don’t really have anything is because I spent so much time trying my hardest to make the absolute best version of the system that I possibly could. I think my biggest problem right now is beginning the programming with idiot-proof in mind. So here are my steps to prevent this: 1. Start with a basic template of what you want the system to do. In terms of the crafting system, I started with a premade recipe and made the game show each component individually. 2. Make it work. Once you have everything laid out, you have to make it work consistently based on that one template. This is usually the hard programming of the system. 3. Add more templates. If everything is working according to what you want, add another template or replace the current one. In my crafting system I made a different recipe for it to utilize. 4. Idiot-proofing/making modular. This part is optional, since you can just keep replacing the templates throughout your game. If you’re going to have a lot of this system like I am with the crafting system, it’s very likely that you don’t want to write out everything individually. So you create a way to simply input a few values and the entire system changes to fit what you need. In my crafting system, I created this through a convoluted process of for loops and structs. I eventually made everything work through this new process. I love idiot proofing my code since it essentially allows me to be lazy later on. It also is a decent test of my skills. I would recommend doing it this way in case you hire someone that doesn’t really know how to code, as I might be doing since the game is very easy to program with the idiot proofing in mind.

I have Gamemaker to thank for one of my favourite games of all time - Pizza Tower. Serving as a spiritual successor to the Wario Land quadrilogy this is one of the most unhinged and Delightful 2d Platformers ever released. It's one of those games where everything just comes together. And paired with an iconic development and Loyal modding community, and you have a recipe for one of the defining games of the Gamemaker engine

Make a story game where you get to pick between 4 characters (you also get to name the character before you create a new save] [Prologue part 1] -The protagonist finds an abandoned lab with a giant machine, like all cliche fiction, he activates the machine which teleports him to the Roman era where he finds clothes and a basic weapon. [Prologue part 2] -The protagonist has the choice to do good decisions or bad decisions for the first mission (this will effect the players experience with NPCs later on) [First mission] -The first mission involves robbing a base full of outlaws, upon completion, guards will start chasing and attacking you until you kill all of them or escape/hide. Killing them will decrease your reputation and Honour but if you hide/escape, you get weapons, armour, gold and your reputation increases. (This will affect the player later on) [Chapter 1] -The protagonist finds a Man named Augustus who asks for you to hunt down a specific man and rob his family (if no, you gain reputation but earn no money, if you accept, you will get a special mission and your reputation decreases and if you kill Augustus, your reputation increases and you gain clues to his home which you can eventually rob for lots of gold and armour) Chapter 1 also contains multiple other missions as well as the second main mission which allows you to advance to chapter 2. [Second Mission] -You are tasked with robbing catacombs for a secret key which can unlock a cage where you save Octavius and Alba, a small group of accused robbers who were left with food and water, they both will tell you the location of the real robber, Aellius who has robbed many people. Upon finding and stabbing him multiple times and robbing him, you return to the main city and get lots of gold for the mission. [Chapter 2] -Guards find you and you are put into a dungeon where you have to fight, survive and explore to reach first boss, Goliath Lion, which is a giant lion with a wagon at the back which a large armoured man (who will eventually be a boss later in the game) upon killing the lion, you get the Special 4 star lion meat and 3 star lion fur, which can be sold for a lot) [Chapter 3] -You , Octavius and Alba head out to recruit new members to join you and you goal to either restore and protect the country, or to kill the emperor and take the country yourself. You later find a man named Julius (who will eventually betray the group later on) [Third Mission] -You leave to hunt more Goliath lions where you find a small house holding a group of outlaw, upon killing most of them, one surrenders and confesses he was a spy for the empire. You rob the house and kidnap the spy and return to Octavius' house where the spy, Marcus, joins your group. [Chapter 4] -The house is raided by the red flag, the main group of bandits (the same you robbed and killed a bunch of) and Marcus is beheaded and his head on a pike. The rest of the group is taking into the red flag's dungeon where they are tortured until you find a way to escape, you find your original weapons, free the rest of the group and leave and kill (and rob) the outlaws brutally. [Chapter 5](Honourable timeline) -The state here's about you clearing out the outlaws and welcomes you a small visit to the palace where you get the option to raid the palace with the group or go alone and keep still through the visit. [Chapter 5 (Dishonourable timeline) -The state does not welcome you but tasks you with clearing out higher level outlaw hideouts. Where you meet a new boss, the leader of the red flag, who deems himself Mars himself. Upon killing him, you get a special weapon (Mars' Spear) which does high amounts of damage and return to the player upon being thrown unlike other spears, it also will release a large amount of energy, shocking nearby enemies upon a critical hit. and Mars' armour set, which has unlimited durability and high resistance to attacks and an above moderate health increase. (Overall the set is worth the bad ending) and the ripped red flag banner (which is a 3 star banner and increases Damage and blocking resistance while being used (none that banners do not use up durability) you also gain a new anomalous genetic which allows you to enter an enraged state when in combat (this saves between saves and levels up each time Mars is defeated. [Chapter 5 Honourable Timeline (bad ending) -You enter a boss battle with the emperor and upon killing the emperor, Aellius, who is surprisingly still alive and some outlaws kill the protagonist which gives you the bad ending for the honour timeline [Free Roam] -Free roam can be unlocked if you do not raid the palace during the honourable timeline or if Mars is killed during the Dishonourable timeline Free roam allows access to the good ending as well as other side quests to reduce or increase reputation and/or gold. upon finding the final hideout, depending on the honour level (reputation) Aellius will either beat you up and leave you for dead (dishonourable bad ending) or you end up killing him first and you live life in the Roman era and gain the honourable good ending. [Potential DLC] -Winter dlc (complete New story and clothing for the player) (on discount in winter) -Horrors of the East DLC (New zombie related story and clothing for the player) (on discount on Halloween) -Ultimate Edition (Special missions and 1500 free gold coins for story mode and online mode) -Online Mode (comes with game but is downloaded separately) [Game title: Gladius (feel free to change this if you adopt this idea)]
