Hey folks, ESP here.

Location: Alberta, Canada
Been using GM since gamemaker 6.0!

You might remember as njp i created a decently functioning top down fake 3d engine for gamemaker 7 and 8 along with various other examples of sorts. Game maker has always been a hobby for me to mess around with coding and my graphic design. I dont have any projects or games id call completed over all the years iv been using GM but i hope to change that with Studio 2!

If anyone has any tips or advice for me im about to launch gm studio 2 for the first time, would really appreciate some pointers.

Pce!

Hey guys the username is tryhard Infinity, obviously, all jokes aside.

My name is Chris I finally decided to get into the forums. I am 21, from North Carolina and I have been working with gamemaker for about 4 years, enough to say I reached intermediate level somewhat Haha.

When it’s comes to completed games I have made precisely 0. Mostly, I have been improving my ability to understand gml. However, now I have finally set my sights on a challenging goal. A long road ahead but I am attempting to make a rpg/card game/anime 2d visual fighter (best way I can explain it) some what similar to ninja saga, adventure quest, or fate grand order but with cards lol.

My personality type was “The Advocate” (INFJ-T).

Let’s see other things about me? I’ll shorten this in a few words.. pro gamer, hobbyists musician, 2d design artist, animator, beginner 3d modeler, nooby visual effect creator, small time YouTuber, video editor.. okay I can’t shorten it haha I dip my fingers in a lot of interesting computer based and artistic things. But I plan to take computer programming as a career.

Personality Type: INTJ

Not much else to say, really. I'm a full-time college student with a part-time job, but I still manage to find time to squeeze in some GMC when I have the chance. I'm rather withdrawn, but I'll be happy to entertain a conversation with anybody who wants to talk to me.

Other things about yourself:
I am the sort of person that has dabbled in more things than I can count. I started with web design in photoshop, web development learning js, graphic design at a local sign shop, creating music for friends to dance to, and now currently trying to pull everything together to make a game.. I have always been afraid I would turn into a jack of all trades but a master of none. After looking into game develop, I realized it consisted of everything I like to do. So I am going all in, make or break, sink or swim.

Hello. I'm a returning user from back in ye olde days, before the forum upgrade. My long-standing psuedo company name is RollyPoly, so that's where my name comes from. I'm mostly just posting here so I can finish editing my profile but here's some info about myself i suppose ~
CS student
I play osu, mania mostly. #571 in the US and proud of it.
On again, off again game developer for quite a few years now.
Most of my favorite video games are strategy like Civilization, AOE, SimCity4/Cities:Skyline.
Favorite movie franchise is Alien. I love Alien: Isolation the game, too.
Recently an Anime nut, for better or worse. I've rated quite a bit of stuff on MAL, but the only one to ever get a score of 10 is Clannad AS. Don't think anything else ever will either.

Nice to meet y'all.

Hello, I just joined the GameMaker community and I thought I'd say hello. I'm currently working on my first game, a shoot em up. I'm doing everything, the art, the story, the music... and using GameMaker to put it all together. This is all so exciting!

I'm just crazy for the shoot em up genre! I have over 30 games on NES and a bunch more on other systems including Soldier Blade on the PC-Engine.

I love a good SHMUP! It's such a varied genre that at the core always instills the same frantic feelings in me. Excited to see a Work in Progress post about it. Welcome!

Eek, thread-merge! Does this need deleted @Nocturne?

Is this an official name change request? I can do this... Might take some work off of the moderation staff... just say the word and it's done. Seriously. Do it.
I mean, for the right price you could forward all your problems to me... Income tax and DMV filings included. And that price? Getting me my "Greatest boolean of all" title like I had on the last two iterations of the GMC ;)

Metrollos

Hi there, Metrollos here, or Michael, if you want it so.

I am an 21-year-old IT student from Germany, who is using GM now for 8 months.

My first experiments with GM resulted into the game 'Alpha's Legacy', at what I am currently working on, which is my first project in GM and my biggest game project so far.
I had make some games in the past. Nothing special: a Pong clone, a Tank Force clone, some experiments over the years with little RPG and Jump n' Run games.

I tried some different game engines in my programming 'career'. I started learning basic programming with Scratch, then later tried RPGmaker VX and Construct 2 out by my own.
But I had somehow the feeling, that this engines did not gave me enough space to test some crazy new stuff out or to set things in the way I want it to.
Now I am sitting here with GMS2 and I am lovin' it.

Besides to programming I also make some music with FL Studio.

Well I think this should be enough for today.
Keep hittin' the keyboards guys!

Currently residing in Wisconsin
How long you've been using Game Maker: I used GMS1 for about a year, GM 8.1 before that for about two years and have only just recently began using GMS 2. In total roughly 2-3 years
Any cool games you've made: None. :( I've made several small games but never kept any of them. Really kicking myself for that because no matter how "bad" a game project is you should NEVER completely get rid of it!
Personality Type: Mostly happy, with a touch of sarcasm and a bit of self-doubt. That comes with the territory of programming!

I also have used other game engines (most notably Unity and Unreal), but have found that I really enjoy making 2D games and most engines either do it poorly, or have are too "heavy" to use for 2D because their primary focus is 3D. I also love drawing so pixel art is right up my alley!

I am currently setting up my own website where I will showcase some of my art and projects with GMS 2. I'm really looking forward to participating in this community again, I loved it here in my younger days! Glad to be back!
