Classic Game Maker showcase

I was 12 years old when I first discovered Game Maker. I remember begging my parents to buy me the registered version for £10 so I could try out all the blend modes and 3D functions.

Here’s a narrated video to show you how far that tenner eventually went. It covers some of my early experiments right up until I stopped using Game Maker regularly. A trip through time!

Many thanks to Mark Overmars, the original creator of Game Maker.

GM Studio Tutorial: 3D Lighting

I’ve recorded an in-depth tutorial in how to work the d3d lighting features in Game Maker Studio. Over fifty minutes, I build a scene entirely from scratch, define and place the light sources. You can also download the editable so you can copy and tweak the code.

Please subscribe to my channel if you like these tutorial videos. Leave any questions in the comments and either I or other informed viewers can answer.

It’s very simple, you draw lines and drop dots onto them, playing different notes according to the line’s length.

You can also change the direction of the gravity whilst the dots are moving so if you’re into your avant garde experimental melodies, this will be great for generating those!

This windows version is freeware but I’m keeping the source private for now.

Have fun!
