Where are you from: Bronx, New York
How long you've been using Game Maker: 5 or 6 years it seems (I was using 8.1 then studio came sometime after)
Any cool games you've made: as it stands...no. l have are things I keep working on. a top down shooter I made for an eight grade project (infinite enemies and bullets going in 8 directions) haven't touch that in a while, and the project I've been focused on is a platformer. As it stand it more or less just a testing ground to implement new mechanics...if they work (still walljumping weird and cant dash)
Other things about yourself
  • Got into Fire Emblem Rom hacking 6 months ago (got me to do some sprite edits)
  • Inspired by Super Smash Land/Rivals of Aether to work harder on my platformer (what even is knockback)
  • Favorite Games include Megaman X, Said Inspiration, Super Smash Brothers Series, and a handful of platformers, rpgs, fighters (you can tell why im focusing on the platformer)
  • Trying to help a friend achieve his goal of creating a game for his story and characters while achieving my goal of creating a good game I can be proud of

How long you've been using Game Maker: Barely a month
Any cool games you've made: none


Other things about yourself:
I compose music using DAWs and MIDI with my keyboard, and I am learning how to play electric guitar. I also program in C ( and little bit of C++ ), MSDOS console programs via djgpp , Linux programs via gcc, but this has been at rest since I got GMS2. So I am transitioning from C and C++ to GML. Before I learned C , I learned the worst programming langauge ever - Commodore Business Machines BASIC, Commodore Business Machines Licensed version of Microsoft BASIC called Amiga BASIC on a Amiga 500. I will never touch BASIC or even Visual BASIC ( which I saw on Windows 3.x long long ago). I wont touch Oracle's ( formerly Sun Microsystems ) Java programmig language, in any way - it does not do object-oriented programming like C++. JAVA does not have even a ISO standard like C or C++. I just remembered , I think I need to update my copy of the C standard to C11 ( C1X ) - I still have the C99 standard .pdf but the update is too expensive at the moment.

Any cool games you've made: HAHAHHAHAHHAHHAHA
Personality Type: ESFP-A

Other things about yourself: Moderate Weeb. Currently in an Early/Middle College Program. Getting my AAS, then moving on to University. I'm very easygoing, and I try to be as likeable as possible ("ESPF-A", remember? The "A" is from me forcing my jokes into odd situations. I'm workin' on it). Now going into Programming (C++) and figured I'd finally follow my childhood dream of making games along the way. Mainly inspired by Pokemon, Castlevania, Megaman, I Wanna Be The Boshy, and Shovel Knight.

P.S. Hmu if you'd take a newbie in for development for a game. I'm in desperate need of experience, as show by me buying GMS2 3 days ago.

Thanks for reading my life!

Name: Kyon
Age: 23
Where you're from: The Netherlands
How long you've been using Game Maker: 10 to 12 years or so. (GM6.1) (an on and off relationship haha)
Any cool games you've made:
The only game I every "finished" was this game for YoYoComp06: https://tinyurl.com/y77ur6nf . Which was when gamemaker tried that PSP export.
I guess the game I've been working years and years on was "Dirkels" which was quite popular on the old forums. But this was just my way of learning gamemaker, I redid that game countless times, like, starting from scratch again all the time and using new skills and codes I learned while making the previous Dirkels. The latest demo is here: https://tinyurl.com/y9z933nz (mind that that latest demo is atleast 4 years old)
I probably never finish Dirkels haha. At the moment I'm working on some cool projects though, one is "From Here On" and storydriven game about social anxiety and some sci-fi elements. But mostly at the moment I'm working on "The Magic Bowman" which will be an adventure/action-platformer with some cool comedy ideas I have.
The game started out as a test project because working on From Here On for over 5 months really broke me haha. I started on Bowman a month ago and it feels more like a game than from here on was...
You can read about my games on my twitter, I tent to update them at least once or twice a week.

Personality Type: INFP-T

Other things about yourself:

I'm a musician. As in, I have a band, we perform a lot, and I study music. My end goal is to make music for movies and games (which is what my study is about).

Hello everyone!
I'm Elena, I'm from Italy, and I've only just started learning GML. I'm familiar with C++ and html and I've taken a few classes about informatics and programming at university. I decided to take up game making to create a small RPG as a gift to a friend, and also because when I was a child I used to say I wanted to become a videogame programmer when I grew up, so I'm sort of keeping a promise. Looking forward to learning!

Hello, everybody. My name is ROman POkorny (that's the reason why you can call me ROPO), I'm 16 years old and when I'll grow up, I want to be a game designer. The problem is that It's little bit hard, because I live in Czech Republic and there isn't such a big "boom" about games. But still, I want to learn a design (2D and 3D) and by that I want to work with some american people :).
I'm still working in GameMaker 1.4. I have a sensitive relationship with that, because I was really excited about it. I made 3 games in total. I also had other projects, but they still were unfinished and they weren't so cool. I made 2 games when I was a little kid (in 8.1. version ;) ) and 1 I guess 6 months ago. I was so proud of myself that I made something like this. It was jist so wonderful. And I want that feel back!
So I want to try something: If you want some pixel-graphic design of something, write down here under this status and let me show you my graphic style. I hope I can fit into this community, because IT IS one of the best communities I've ever seen in my life.
I'm really excited of your reaction at me and thanks for your time, If you've read it into the end :).
Thank you.
-Roman Pokorny.
