Discussion of GM Board being Open

lorehunter · February 20, 2007, 12:06:39 AM

Ah this is a good idea. I always wanted to try out game maker and now there is a forum for me to post problems. This is great

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 12:07:27 AM

Yup! Oh, I should also mention, the website has a number of examples to get you started more quickly. I'll edit the first post.

so...game maker > rmxp?

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 12:11:57 AM

Unless you are making an RPG, I can say yes in total confidence.

unless your making an rpg?

what type of games is it best for?

Dwarra? · February 20, 2007, 12:24:27 AM

Platforms
Which are gone thanx to no more 2d gaming

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 12:26:28 AM

Anything! And not just games, you can also make screensavers, word processing applications, webpage refreshers, internet browsers...literally ANYTHING.

The only resaon I said "Unless you are making an RPG" is because RPG Maker all ready has the base laid out of you, and Game Maker does not. RPG's are difficult to make in Game Maker because there are a lot of complex equations involved that RPG Maker usually would just do for you.

But if you are making a platformer, and FPS, a flight simulator, a racing game, a sports game, or anything else that ISN'T an rpg, this is your program.

This section of the forum is for Game Maker. Game Maker is more complex than RPG Maker, but it is far more malleable and workable. Using Game Maker, you can literally make whatever you want, so long as you can code it.

I guess you don't know much about RPG Maker then.

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 12:52:29 AM

Well yes, there's RGSS, but RPG Maker is designed for RPG's, whereas Game Maker is made to be more universal.

However, I suppose I should reword what I said regardless. Just a moment. Thank you for bringing that to my attention.

Irock · February 20, 2007, 06:27:14 PM

i was going to suggest this. But should it be at the top over RPG Maker?

Snailer · February 20, 2007, 06:38:17 PM

YAAAYY

anyways im gonna check it

coolkid25344 · February 20, 2007, 08:30:44 PM

I love game maker!!! Dident know anyone else did!!! Ill probably never use RPG Maker again knowing theres someplace to discuss Game Maker!

nevfx · February 20, 2007, 08:38:35 PM

Really?! I think I'll stick to RPG Maker. I only want to make RPG'S so....

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 08:43:43 PM

Well, good to see this is (so far) a welcome addition! Hopefully this board will be around for a while.

nevfx · February 20, 2007, 08:44:48 PM

Yep, and with you as the ~~sexy~~ dedicated mod, it will be!

Arrow · February 20, 2007, 09:08:27 PM

That's right, I AM dedicated. And to prove this, I'm going to upload an example project tonight.

nevfx · February 20, 2007, 09:10:50 PM

Wow, well done. I'll get it!

biohazard · February 20, 2007, 09:38:20 PM

I am very glad to have a Game Maker board around here, I will contribute and make sure this board flourishes.

Arrow · February 23, 2007, 01:24:58 AM

Hey, THANKS.

Glad to know I'll have help.

Arrow · February 23, 2007, 10:12:11 PM

Doublepost: The official release date for Game Maker 7 is the 28th. WEDNESDAY.

biohazard · February 23, 2007, 11:15:17 PM

KICKASS!!!! I CAN'T WAIT!

ataraxy2 · March 03, 2007, 01:50:24 AM

YOU CAN MAKE SONIC FOR GOD SAKES!

GilgameshRO · March 03, 2007, 07:44:09 PM

You can do all this stuff with RPG Maker. It's just because of the RPG tag that theres such a massive lack of creative ideas with it.

Arrow · March 03, 2007, 07:54:33 PM

You can, but not effectively...That RGSS stuff is probably incredibly slow too...
