Creative Alliance Review

Comentários: We have been using the software for testing 2D games specifically for mobiles and while we still are in testing phase, the capabilities of this software for 2D games is very impressive.

Vantagens:

Great software for 2D game development and most importantly this platform enables to make games for mobile as well which is a huge plus. We have been testing it and have mostly positives about Gamemaker Studio.

Desvantagens:

It has some limitations for 3D game development but we don't use it to make 3D. It might be a little intimidating at the beginning to use this software. Other than that, it is a pretty useful software.

Great engine for light 2D projects

Comentários: Overall positive experience, it's great and lightweight if you know you're mostly going to be focused on smaller 2D projects, so it's great for indies and fast projects for game jams.

Vantagens:

GMS is great for an indie developer. You have the choice of a more visual approach to coding if that's not your stronger side, but GML is also quite intuitive to learn.

Desvantagens:

Moving to a subscription instead of a one-time purchase might turn off people that considered GM as an alternative to something like Construct.

GameMaker has its niche and does that very well!

Comentários: Overall, GameMaker is the easiest for simple games and it lets anyone who has a computer able to make a game!

Vantagens:

If you are trying to make a simple game like an 8-bit or platformer, this is the video game engine for you. It is simple and to the point making it easy to use this software for absolute beginners in the industry. You don't need a lot of schooling or experience to make a game. I really like how much of this can be sprite based as well. Anyone can edit images and make characters, items, etc based on sprites.

Desvantagens:

With any niche software, there are some downsides. GameMaker is very limited on what you can do. It is a place to start making games, but once you want to move onto other ideas, it makes the transition to other engines hard. I also wish GameMaker had a common coding language instead of using its own. This helps prepare for the transition to other engines.

Once the gold standard for 2D, though no longer a clear a leader

Comentários: It's fine as an introductory software for game development, but it's no longer the best choice even for that.

Vantagens:

Cross-platform functionality works quite well. Though somewhat counter-intuitive, development paradigm can work well for a limited set of game genres. The YoYo compilers are good.

Desvantagens:

It's too expensive for the best features, and the switch between GameMaker Studio and GameMaker Studio 2 was not handled smoothly by YoYo Games.

Great game engine for indie game developers

Comentários: It's easy to learn and have a big community to help you

Vantagens:

Simple interface with fast and easy testing and option of no code required to create simple games

Desvantagens:

No code option is very limited and doesn't work in more complex games

It's nice but it has been outsmarted by some simpler and more powerfull engines

Comentários: It helped me out figuring how to start ing gamedevelopment but i found other options to be more reliable

Vantagens:

This is great to getting into game design and figuring out your best workflow when you are starting out, specially with the help of tutorials

Desvantagens:

The no code and code systems are a little tricky a the beginning and some things aren't as easy to use as they say, for example exporting projects is a little confusing and not intuitive without the help of external tutorials

It’s good for a novice

Comentários: With this programming I am the opportunity to explore a dozens of game templates, use my own characters, publish my games in a few seconds and allows players to submit their scores.

Vantagens:

GameMaker Studio is easy to pick up and learning. This system is easy for a novice to learn than other programming.

Desvantagens:

I don’t have anything to critisize at this platform. I am very glad because is so easy to use.

Gamemake maybe is a little better now but still lacks features

Comentários: its a good and intuitive for a beginer engine is really good , but it lacks other features that other engines already provide.

Vantagens:

- The GML language is really easy to understand. - The UI is really intuitive - The pricing has improved since i last try it , now only requiring one payment of 99$

Desvantagens:

- When i tried the networking features i notice that you need a server with a GUI to use it correctly, now exists other solutions but at the time i dropped it mostly because of this issue. - No 3d is also an issue if you are going for something with that. - GML is exclusive to Gamemaker so you cant use it in other engines

Easy to use for beginners and experts alike

Comentários: Put together new prototypes in hours or days rather than weeks or months.

Vantagens:

Drag and drop allows even novice programmers to get started. Those with more experience can quickly learn the programming language and throw together fully-functional prototypes in a matter of hours rather than the days or weeks it would take with other software.Easy deployment to multiple platforms including desktop, mobile, and more.

Desvantagens:

There are a few smaller issues with the IDE, and some quirks to get used to. Once you overcome these, GameMaker: Studio is a valuable tool.

Another fine game engine

Comentários: It was pleasant to work with gamemaker. And openly speaking I would surely recommend it to others also. But they should work little bit more on 3d sector also

Vantagens:

I have used many different game engines and like others,it is also quite different from others. The best thing which I like about it is ease to arrange assets for the games(for example like in Gdevelop if you disturb the main folder where the assets were kept then assume that you almost lost your source code. But it does not happen here) Also there are inbuilt many features (especially for 2d game development) which I love from the core of my heart And last thing which simply blows my mind away is their community ( you can simply check on twitter) . The community is highly active and many users keep on posting what they are currently making in gamemaker

Desvantagens:

The biggest issue is its cost . The thing which makes me furious is that one has to pay for different platforms ( different payment for mobile platform and different payment for desktop platform) And going ahead their own developed language-GML is not something which I really approve. In my opinion they should have used other language like lua etc Also the thing which sometimes scare me is its future. They have rarely talked about their roadmap for the game engine. And I strongly believe that they should do it And also they never focused on 3d sector (but their 2d sector is awesome)

If you're looking to make a 2D game, GameMaker is the way to go

Comentários: I have over 5000 hours with GameMaker and still going. I've learned how to make games with it. If you're looking into getting into the industry then this is a great learning tool. The community is also one of the best and can help you figure out almost anything to help your game get finished.

Vantagens:

It's easy to use and has a fantastic community that can help you with whatever you need. It also has a free version for you to try out if GameMaker is right for you.

Desvantagens:

Although the community is very responsive, yoyo games, in my experience, is not. There are still some emails that I've sent to them that have yet to be addressed. Also, GameMaker isn't as strong as other engines. Other engines can give you more freedom of control.

An easy game maker!

Vantagens:

It provides a lot of tutorials to progressively start coding your games. It also doesn't require an expert graphic or developer to start making your own games (they will be required for bigger games though)

Desvantagens:

This might be a pro of a con, depending about how you see it, but GameMaker comes with "packages" that will allow you to export games for Android, HTML etc, and they must be purchased separately.

A great entry point into the more intricate elements to game development.

Comentários: Easy to make simple 2D games!

Vantagens:

The interface is extremely straightforward and simple to use. There is a surprising amount of depth that you can get out of the basic tools. Very easy to test out your project. The visual style of coding makes it easy to troubleshoot.

Desvantagens:

While there is a lot you can do, there is still a lot you cannot with this software when it comes to 3D development. Getting started can be daunting, but once you get it down it becomes intuitive.

Super Easy!

Comentários: Overall, I think GameMaker is a great option to get started making games. I would go back and use it whenever I want to make a simple game because it makes it so easy to do so.

Vantagens:

What I love most about GameMaker Studio is that it is extremely simple to learn how to make games. It isn't overwhelming like other programs. It is a great tool for beginners to get started and there are so many tutorials to go with it. It was the first program that I ever used to make games and I don't know how I could've learned so much without it.

Desvantagens:

What I least liked about the software is that you are limited by what you can do with it compared to other software to make games. There are ways to expand it if you have experience but there is still a whole lot that it is missing.

Feature-Filled Game Designer

Vantagens:

Simple to learn Easily customizable Built-in testing

Desvantagens:

Programs from older versions do not migrate to new software

GameMaker: Studio is a great tool for creating 2D games

Vantagens:

GameMaker has a lot of great libraries and can be used for projects of any size - We've used it for everything from minigames up to full-scale commercial projects.

Desvantagens:

The export options are a bit deceiving - They claim to be one-click exports and should theoretically work out-of-the-box, but in the majority of cases you'll need to tinker significantly with the options and with optimizations to make it work.

Horrible.

Comentários: The worst Game Maker software built so far. GM1.4 Was the best. They ruined that with Studio. This is a horrible piece of software. If you want projects to fail from opening, game compiling to stale when loading, random errors appearing around the IDE, then this is for you.

Vantagens:

Functionality. The concept is nice. Design has potential.

Desvantagens:

The constant breaking. The failure to open project files.

Good Start For Beginners Game Development

Comentários: Game engine for learning basics of game development to build a working knowledge of game mechanics.

Vantagens:

Gamemaker is very stable and has a long history been around for 18ish years. I would consider it a beginners platform into game development with its easy to learn scripting language you wont find anywhere else called Game Maker Language (GML). Also, the community support is great there is a ton of information to absorb and tools to get you up and running.

Desvantagens:

Game Maker Language (GML) is pretty basic compared to more robust languages so I don't recommend this for users who are used to Unreal engine or Unity. Its more for people trying out game development and taking the first couple of steps.

Great for learning how to make games.

Vantagens:

I messed around with this software when I was thinking of getting into game development. The interface was pretty easy to navigate. Lots of tutorials on the web and Youtube to help learn. You can definitely learn how to make games using Game Maker.

Desvantagens:

Licenses are expensive and if you want to make mobile games, which my aim was, then you gotta shell out a little more. Just kinda lost interest in mobile game development and stopped using.

Great for build games cheap and can do a lot in this engine

Comentários: Well made a lot of games in the software for personal use, it is easy to use and a great little engine to start with as some of the bigger engines can seem very hard to understand.

Vantagens:

I like the fact you can add your own assets and objects with the level design editor in gamemaker. The programming is easy and can be picked up by anybody really and the power you can put into some of your games are great some amazing titles on the gamemaker showcase at the moment.

Desvantagens:

Nothing bad to say really the ui could do with a bit of work and maybe the add ons could be cheaper but all round a great product.

easy to use, tons of depth

Vantagens:

I like the choice between traditional coding and drag-and-drop options for creating your work. There's a great resource in the program itself for looking up functions.

Desvantagens:

It can be a bit overwhelming for a novice user, especially someone who has never coded before.

Good for beginners

Comentários: I'll recommend this to my colleagues

Vantagens:

Easy functions Good handling Easy to play

Desvantagens:

Graphics are not so good but can be improved

Easy Choice for developing 2d Games

Comentários: I have been learning GameMaker: Studio as an alternative way to tell immersive stories through technology.

Vantagens:

I like that it's easier to use and has the ability to accomplish professional level game design at the 2d level. Powerful and great tool.

Desvantagens:

You cannot make a 3d game in it. That isn't a problem because there are many options for that type of game.
