Hey everybody! Nice to see this community thrilling, my username is midori_margatroid, formerly known as Daniel9999999. My name is Daniel but you can call me Middy or Midori or something, I'm from Chile, 22 years old as of now. I've been using Game Maker since it was Version 7.. Long time ago from 2007, wow it's been ten years.. I haven't really made anything spectacular (or that doesn't make me cringe), last projects that were finished were this old Space Shooter named MARS and a project titled Daniel's Land that got canned due to loss of source code. I guess you could say I'm fairly grumpy when there's nothing to do, but I usually fill these gaps working on my game. Hopefully this time around I might have something to show.

How long you've been using Game Maker:

I played around with game maker for a couple of years before deciding to join the forums (a few minutes ago) to ask some questions. So get ready for it guys! :p

Any cool games you've made:

I made a lot of unfinished games if those count! I'd show some animations of some of them just for fun, but the forums don't let me post links until I make 5 posts...

Personality Type:

According to the test, I'm: ADVOCATE (INFJ-T) apparently. There doesn't seem to be anyone on these forums that's not introverted, haha. I guess that's why we're all on the forums!

Other things about yourself:
I'm very adventurous! But when I can't go on adventures, I adventure in video games and books!

Username: T. Shawn Johnson
Old GMC Username: T. Shawn Johnson - or maybe Whystler - unsure !

Name: T. Shawn Johnson
Age: 49
Where you're from: Ontario, Canada

How long you've been using Game Maker:

I use GameMaker less than once a year. I would love to have the time I once had to focus on it more strongly. So I am a born again newbie every now and again. I started a game a year and a half ago-ish? And then perhaps 3 years or so again, I started a previous game with a similar structure.

Other things about yourself:

I've been involved in a lot of game design, mostly in the art asset department. I've been at this, with some specializing in virtual world building, since 1998. I used to make 3d files before there was software to make them, by defining vertices, lines, polygons, and solids hand typed into an rwx file. I graduated from the University of Guelph in 1992 with a degree in fine and art and music. That was a time when the web was new, and strange, and text lol. So I dabbled a fair bit with MUDs and the like early on with their pseudo coding environments even before i was focussed on game art.

Female
Age: 31 but most people say I look 12-16 years old. I never get anyone that believes I'm over 20 > n>
Where you're from: USA, Arkansas
How long you've been using Game Maker: 0 minutes.
Any cool games you've made: I've dabbled. Released some RPG Maker/Unity games years ago but.....lost them in computer crash.
Personality Type: I'm usually in the middle of ENTJ and ENFJ. I'm loud, optimistic, very much a leader. I can be overbearing to softer people at times, but generally people find me chill. I don't have a wide range of emotion. I'm happy and peppy pretty much always. It's hard to empathize but I try. I am ambitious and love to work and learn. People say I make a good project leader. My personality is very very static. I've been the same person my whole life no matter what obstacles are thrown at me.

Other things about yourself: Wanted to learn game designing since I was about 2 years old. Never really got the full chance due to being hit with a crippling disability right before I was off to game design college. Thought I'd try again since I'm just now getting my disability to be somewhat manageable. Never to late to start, in my opinion.


My favorite game genres are RPG, MMORPG, and Horror, although I'm a heavy gamer and am a fan of most types. My favorite game overall is Star Ocean: The Second Story.

Any Cool games you have made: None, but working on my first
Personality: very laid back and chill most of the time.
other things about yourself: wanted to be a game developer for a long time and I never got the chance because I never knew about the engines or really bothered to look into them until recently. I hope to someday become a great developer and make games that people love to play and that I feel have a meaning in my life.
My favorite Game genres are Strategy, Simulation, Management games and am a hardcore gamer to the point where I don't go out much of the time and leave myself to sit in the house either playing games or designing my game when not in school or at work. My favorite all time game is (oh man now thats a tough one because I have a lot of favorite games) But if I had to choose one then I guess I would go with the Ghost Recon Series of games.

Hello, my name is Victoria, but you can call me Vi for short. I am a 19-year-old trans girl from Alabama, who makes dumb art stuff and occasionally opens GameMaker. I obviously can't add links to my posts because of the spam filter used by this website, but my username on pretty much everything is ViTheGhost, so if I have something, that's probably what you'll be using to find me.

I made games such as Examining Shy Potato, CMPLY, and a few other things that we don't talk about, under a different name that I am largely abandoning for personal reasons. I'd love to make new pals, so shoot me a message or something and we can chit-chat.

Hello everyone,

My name is Linh. I come from Los Angeles USA and I am 25 years old.
I've been using Game Maker for 4 years and it's really great. It makes me excited with html5 games.
Actually, I have not created any "cool" games with Game Maker, except some mini games. (a bid sad ^^). However, Game Maker is really good thing. I learn a lot things about html5 games from it.

Other things about yourself:
  • Recently I'm building some websites to host my favorite games. I do not have much time for this, I just do it in free time. I like running games like Templerun 2. It is very famous game. While I searched for running games, I found a similar to TempleRun game. It's cool!. I would also recommend to everyone here. It's called "Run 3". You may know it or you may find it as a strange name. However I am sure that you will love it like me. You can play it here: https://run3.co.
  • Is there anyone loving Running games like me?

Fenix

Guest
Hi everyone,

I'm Fenix, 42 years, and I am from Germany.

I have quite a few programming experiences from my C64 and AMIGA times :) Back then I mostly used assembler and basic and a little C. And yes I used to count clock cycles and bytes :-D On the PC I use PureBasic and VBA (as I use it at my work place) for rapid development.

I have no experience with GameMakerStudio or any other rapid game developing suites.

Games were never developed by me but I got one of my programs published by Fred Fish (r.i.p.) on his glorious AmigaLibDisks.

I like to cook, watch planets and deep sky objects with my telescope (I'm generally into astronomy and cosmology), collect old gaming hardware (I'm a proud owner of a fully working mint condition C64 "laptop" *g*). Also I'm into history and sciences in general. And: yeah I know I'm a nerd :-D

CU,
Fenix
