Other things about yourself:

Hi! My name is Jonathan Lavigne and I love coding, pixeling, and designing games.

I've worked on a bunch of games at Gameloft and Ubisoft from 2002 to 2010: Star Wars Episode III (GBA), Kong: The 8th Wonder of the World (GBA), Open Season (GBA), TMNT (GBA), and Scott Pilgrim VS The World: The Game (XBOX 360 and PS3).

I've founded Tribute Games in 2011 with Jean-François Major and Justin Cyr and we've been making our own games since then: Wizorb, Ninja Senki, Mercenary Kings, Curses 'N Chaos and Flinthook.

I'm not a professional programmer (I mostly do game design and pixel art), but I've used GML, C# with XNA and a bit of GDScript for my side projects and prototypes.

Nice to meet you all!

Hi, everyone! How are you doing? I hope you are doing well!

My name is Alessandro, 33, from São Paulo, Brazil, but really motivated to change to Canada, I hope soon.

I don't have much experience with Game Maker yet, but I made two games with it, the traditional "Hello World game", Pong, and the Breakout game. Certainly, I'll do my best to gain much more experience developing with Game Maker from now.

I like to code, coffee, write about technology, science, math, logic, philosophy, play the piano, drawing, sports, I like to keep myself productive and creative.

That is it! I also like to make friends, so, feel free to talk to me.

Let's keep creating!

Hi everyone :D I'm a programmer, I always wanted to make games since I was a child, I studied to be a programmer but then I started a job and never put myself into it, so I've been working as a programmer for 4 years now and I hope I can make something that makes me feel proud, and also I hope I get to know people around here.

I'm a wild card in person, been in and out of jail alot with a past that's dark. I found my light and am going to create my video game company with Big hit games i'm hoping some day and along my journey to doing so I hope to meet other Developer's who wanna do the same thing. I am very 420 friendly and that is IT! not even in to alcohol or nicotine. I don't want to just make video game's about WEED WEED AND MORE WEED, my games i want to have a good story, but also is 420 friendly cause you gotta love mother nature, but weed is just the foresting on my cake's the story line and fun times people will be having with our games is the cake it self. I listen to music alot as well and do my own writing's as YOUNG-(realyounglyricist on FB : )
I mainly like rap and country, for example I jam out to ( Eminem, NF, Witt Lowry, Gremlin, B-mike, Enkay47, Karacter and a few other's.)

I quit a few times on chasing the "Dream" all because my life got very and really dramatic.
Between losing loved one's to death and alienating parents, battling depression & addiction, finding out everyone i trusted were snakes who was setting me up for failure so i was bound to fail to now finding myself and making a come back!
i'm fighting like hell to achieve my dreams, turn my nightmare life into something great and to never, under any circumstances EVER give up again!!!!

I lost over 150+ lbs, getting in recovery and giving my Dreams 1 last shot and i'm giving it all that I got!

Any cool games you've made:
I am in the works on them right now & I am hoping this to be one of our 1st Game's:

Newcomer joining the community for discussions around game design and GameMaker.

I've never made a game, always have wanted to, but struggled with the learning curve. I hope with GameMaker I can get over that roadblock (so far it looks promising).

How long you've been using Game Maker: Started using it around 2009 / 2010, but haven't used it for some years.

Other things about yourself:
Software Developer for a living (first Backend Developer, currently Embedded Developer). Came back to the community due to nostalgia regarding GameMaker (although I don't think I'll be using it again... don't want to have a Windows machine and don't want to go through the trouble of trying to add compatibility layers in Linux for using the IDE) and since I hope the community is still half as good as it was before. I've had several accounts throughout the years (both in the old GMC forum and in the current one) but I no longer have access to the login details of my old account in order to ask for it to be reactivated so I decided to have a fresh start. Hope to get back into game development in the near future, in which case I'll be back to relying heavily on this community once again.
