*New In this course, I build a game from the ground up with you. Seriously, I'm doing it from scratch with you while recording with minor editing. This is a great way to learn and troubleshoot problems with me. The game we are making it pretty sweet. This is not a run-of-the-mill game. We are making a keeper.
I provide all assets needed for you to get started!
If you are completely new to game development then use GameMaker: Studio. It may not be as easy as some other engines, but it is feature rich and it will get easier with a little effort and patience. You need these traits to be successful game developer.
Features from Course & GameMaker: Studio:
- GameMaker *free version* has all the features of the complete version
- Complete set of quality (royalty free) assets provided
- GameMaker allows for porting to any device. PC, Mac, Mobile, PS4 and Xbox One. (paid plugin's required)
- Course will upgrade with more "Free" video's with support. I will keep adding features to enrich our game.
- You get my project files to work with and make your own.
