    Graphics Current gen games in GM?

    I believe current-gen (Gen 8 and Gen 9) games can be made in GM. Some people call current-gen next-gen, so I suppose you could make next-gen in GM. I was playing COD (Gen 8 COD) and I realized the graphics were mid tier. I didn't notice any AO or radiosity in the interior areas of the map...

    GML Dynamic Lighting Not Working

    Hello, I followed the tutorial on the game maker blog about a 2D dynamic lighting system (LINK). I have followed everything and I do not get any errors, but I get no lighting.

    Any good tutorials on normal maps?

    I'm looking into normal maps to create a fake 3D lighting effect for my pixel art in a concept I'm working on. I tried, just for fun, to create high-res pixel art with a lots of detail (bricks, statues in the walls, detailed window frames with curvy curtains...) and I find it to be quite doable...

    Low Cost Lighting?

    Hi, guys! I'm still working on my MORTS space exploration game and I've run into a small problem: in 2d, the lack of back-lighting from stars makes the ships look like they're just stickered on over the scene (which, yeah, they are). I've seen a lot of methods for doing dynamic lighting...

    Top Down Tile Lighting

    Im working on a turn-based rpg and im planning on doing a lighting system but still haven't figured out how I'm going to do that. Is there anyway to do lighting from tiles? I could make objects and do the lighting from that but it would make stuff like cliffs a little complicated?

    Problem with GMWolfs lighting system

    @GMWolf I used your system from the youtube video of 2017 and included the correction you linked in this forum and it mostly works except that the dark area is not the same size as my camera view and, probably because of the reduced size, the sprites/light areas do not stay fixed relative to...
