some of the greatest games were made with game maker, plus it doesn't require you to code every last detail (though, you're still going to have to code.)

I just started playing around with this, but after going through a tutorial I was able to make an Asteroids clone that works pretty well. Looking forward to digging deeper and making something more original in the future.

"I can't believe I'm actually writing code!" - Me

I have a fundamental understanding of HTML and building web pages, but was always scared of getting serious with coding. Always wanted to learn but found it intimidating and I really just don't have the brain for it. I'm more creative/street/common sense smart than book smart.

Main reason I tried GM was because I've read some articles saying "No coding required!". Which is... true'ish. When I first started messing around in the program I became disheartened because it felt overwhelming. 21 hours later I created (with help) my first game. By "with help" I'm talking YouTube tutorials. Theres a guy there who's made incredibly helpful videos name Shaun Spalding - Your First Game. He breaks it down for you step-by-step and after a quick dozen videos you have a working game!

If, like me, you're wanting to nerd out and take a stab at coding your own game... this is it. You got this!

It's a simple yet complicated. The basics are pretty easy to learn but It's harder for more advanced settings
11/10 would make crappy platformer again

This is an excellent piece of software which is very helpful to beginner Games developers.

I was introduced to this software through college education, and have used it in my spare time since, creating small and fun games.

This software allows people to create many different types of games, and some games created within GameMaker have become commercial successes, such as Hotline Miami and Undertale.

The beauty of GameMaker is it has built in variables and a thoroughly detailed user document which explains all of the different functions and capabilities perfectly.

If you are a beginner programmer, or a hopeful games developer, I would definitely recommend this software!

I love this software, I sucked and still suck at coding, yet this software is so simple and easy to use that I can begin to start creating games. I honestly don't know what I would do without this software if I had the urge to create games, and it is Free, who doesn't love free game or in this case, Gamemakers!

Recommended! This software is very simple and easy to use. Most people don't understand that the basics of making a game requires elbow grease. I have started out my game with another developer in the works. Hopefully it will be successful. I even have my first teaser up in my artwork page. PS don't run this on a toaster. If anything stick to the original quake games

Good app, if you buy free, it has a splash screen, but is the best coding language I use.

GMS catches a lot of ♥♥♥♥ for being very basic and highlighting it's drag and drop building, but with unity's bizarre new licensing, (and difficult learning curve) GMS is an excellent choice for platformers and 2d games.... Althought I'd wait for a sale to buy pro. I think I picked it up for 30, maybe 50 on sale.

It's an extremely powerful engine that's also user friendly and easy to pick up and learn.

GameMaker: Studio is amazing! I'm currently creating a game with some friends, I'll update the review when it's released. Haven't found a single glitch yet. Shoutout to HeartBeast on YouTube, cause with him, I would know NOTHING about this software. My only request is that you could use this on Mac, since that's what I have. I have a Windows 10 virtual machine though, so at least I can use it. :P
