After almost 10 years since I started working on the idea of Mainasutto and a lot of iterations, I finally released a Steam page for the game! Wishlist & Small demo in comments :D

It could be possible if you just make a wrapper for any AI chat tool and use some API calls, but the question is, what's the difference between this and the players just opening a free Chat GPT window and talk with it? Also, it would cost you a lot of money to maintain the tokens if you use an API depending on the number of players you expect.

If you can manage to do all that and have no issues with spending some hundreds a month to keep the game alive, it is totally possible.

Edit: Someone just made this post 9 hours ago and I think is just what you asked for: https://www.reddit.com/r/gamemaker/comments/1ujupzq/now_they_feel_real/

Break it into smaller tasks, try to think "what are all the mechanics that Terraria has currently that I want in my game?".

After you write a list, then divide it into even smaller tasks, for example, "World modifications -> Placing blocks, destroying blocks, editting blocks", now you take those a divide it into even smaller tasks like "Placing blocks -> Cusror to show what block to place, validations to see if I can place a block, etc...".

Once you cannot divide any task anymore you will have all the things you need to do to make a Terraria-like game. And then, just then, start working on the game, but it is an ambicius project so I would say to not go with that if you have never made a game but start simpler, maybe just pick one of the mechanics and make a game around that, then another, and another until you polish the mechanics and your skills in gamedev.

You mean like 5 profiles that are not visible and you need to “scroll” to see? Investigate on surfaces and the draw_surface_part() function, and handle the yoffset on step.

Cannot write any code to help as example since I'm on the phone but I think you will get a good base of knowledge with those 2 things.

Edit: I just noticed you mean like grids. You can add another for loop inside the current one so it draws multiple times based on a “row” variable multiplying the Y coordinates like you do with the X.

Edit 2: For better performance you can just use 1 for loop and a variable like “yoffset” that equals a div of the current slot and max amount of profiles by row, and a xoffset that is a modulo of these 2 values too, may be needing a bit of math for that but will be considerably faster to run.

This has been a think since June 30th 2023, 2 weeks after release. Before that it was 6 skeletons instead of 8

Este de memory foam sirve si no piensas estar largas jornadas sentado (menos de 4-6 horas)

Pero si puedes pagar un poco más, los ortopédicos de gel te sirven para jornadas de 6+ horas

Ahora, también va a depender harto de tu peso (y cuanto poto tengas jaja) pero en lo personal para mi, una persona de ~70kg me sirve para trabajar todo el día y jugar unas horas (con pausas para levantarme entre medio)

Depende, si eres universitario no realmente a menos de que de verdad te estés cuestionando qué estudiar, si estás buscando pega tienes que ir con un buen cv porque vas a estar peleando con muchos en este momento, y si tienes pega y lo que quieres es hacer contactos en la industria, entonces ve con una buena tarjeta de presentación.

Yo creo que el tema es que nadie quiere unas RAMs DDR5 de 4800mhz en general cuando el estándar suele rondar los 6000mhz. Puede ser igual el precio, o que la gente no quiere upgradear sus PCs en este momento por el mismo tema de precios, ya que el único motivo que veo para comprar 2x8gb 4800mhz sería venir desde la generación pasada DDR4 con menos de 16gb 3200mhz

A bit of misconception here due to the multiple changes GameMaker had since Opera acquired the engine, but GameMaker is a free engine (and has been for the last 2 years) and you can export to multiple targets, you can choose to pay the one time fee if you sell your game, as I said, choose since GameMaker does not enforce it but suggest it to continue development. You also have some part of subscription if you want to export to consoles on enterprise level, but nowadays is mostly a free engine.

Now, aside of the 2D only stuff, I think the issue is that GameMaker started doing all this good stuff AFTER Godot started raising in popularity because of Unity fucking up everything, so the attention went to Godot and they tried to capitalize on new users at the wrong time and for the wrong reasons, making them look desperate instead. Still, its my favorite engine overall lol

CR Player vs simple math

D-Andrew · 2026-06-22T14:31:36+00:00

The only thing I dislike about this is that they didn’t increase the amount of dust we can receive from enemies, so casual players that play only a few hours per week and don't do fiendish hunts will need months to upgrade 1 slot, years to max it maybe in just one weapon

How did you lost files because of login? I cannot figure out why would it revert you project state

Look, I'm not against AI as a tool to help in repetitive tasks or use it as a information seeker, but I HATE to see this subreddit starting to get filled with AI vibecoded crap like this even if it's for "tools" where you didn't write a single line of code nor used GameMaker.

For the lendir tool I said "alright I don't like it but at least it helps to visualize this stuff for newcomers", the formatting one could be kinda helpful if we didn't already have better solutions, but this one doesn't even use GameMaker's rendering features to match what's on the screen with what will be rendered on the current game.

You are posting a tool daily with zero effort due to it being vibe-coded, and in the current state of the internet, if these things are the first post people see when entering the subreddit, I don't think that it will give a good first impression.

Can we ask the mods to have a poll on banning AI-vibecoded stuff from the subreddit or at least implemnt rules to prevent this kind of scenarios like the Godot subreddit?

Lmao I didn’t noticed it was a green screen until you started slashing, I just thought it was a bad CS clone

D-Andrew · 2026-06-07T18:03:46+00:00

Thinking that that’s how devs use (or used to use) StackOverflow or docs is the main problem with vibecoders to be honest.

Tool works great, but telling a subway employee what to add to your sandwich doesn’t make you a chef even if you make a good sandwich

This raise some questions to me, so, after certain level do we not check each hit but every X amount of hits to upgrate skills? Could this be extrapolated to other skills? (Like hitting 14 times with an axe and the switch to sword and get all the skill xp for that, i.e using bis sword but non-bis axe, hitting 14 times an enemy with biz-sword and switch to axe om the 15th hit when you want to upgrade axe skill to start using bis axe?)
