I'm new in GameMaker studio, what should I do to improve myself? I bought training from Udemy but i learned the basics (I really really want to make a game like "Katana Zero") : - )
I always (shamelessly) recommend my own series for the basics of coding: Coding Fundamentals in GML. And I recommend the space rocks tutorial by YoYo for putting those things into practice. With the new caveat that this tutorial was done before 2.3 and there's been a couple things that don't work right after the transition - but this is true of pretty much every tutorial right now since the transition was recent and there aren't many issues and you can find answers to most of them on this forum. I also have a link in my signature line for exactly this question.I'm new in GameMaker studio, what should I do to improve myself?

Do any tutorial for game maker. Even if it is not relevant to the game you intend to make. You need to learn to think like a programmer when coding and why you code things a certain way. If the tutorial is good enough it will have a great explanation of why. Also, not matter the type of tutorial you can use and adapt the code you learnt into what you want.I'm new in GameMaker studio, what should I do to improve myself?

This is very important to understand. During the process of learning to make games, many of them will not be very good but they are proof of concepts that feel game-y. After doing a couple of projects, you should feel more comfortable tackling larger challenges. Like @Tony Brice mentioned, game jams are an effective motivator on finishing a project especially if you are working with someone else.I'd say go wild and make whatever game you want to make. Your first game is going to be a disaster, if it's not copy pasting a tutorial or something, but you'll learn a lot!
