Hello there,
Name's blueoriontiger. Been poking at GameMaker Studio since I was 19 in various forms, and has been partially responsible for me wanting to making my own games. I recently go a full license of the 1.4 version last year; thanks to the devs for making such an awesome engine.
Long story short, I make little short games for people who ask me to, like Pong clones for people to play at conventions, etc. Recently someone approached me asking to make a Scrabble-like match clone about medical terms. Seemed fine and I'm confident I can come up with something for them.
They dropped a bombshell earlier tonight that no, they essentially want a "Word with Friends" clone, complete with multiplayer and Facebook integration like the app. I'm almost certain this isn't possible and am about to go tell them I can't, but I wanted input if GMS has the framework to support turn-based multiplayer back and forth, with Facebook integration on a mobile device? Is something like that possible with the engine?
I've done some research and seen some "how to make multiplayer tutorials", but I'm getting mixed messages on if it can be done or not. Some insight would be appreciated.
Thank you!
