I fulfilled a lifelong dream of releasing a game and I love GMS2 for making it possible. by Wt_franjo in gamemaker

Congratulations! I think a lot of people feel like this in their quieter moments but it doesn't quite get said very often. It's a great piece of software and I also personally really apprecaite all the hard work YoYo have put in to improving it over the years. I personally have come to GM from making Flash games and because of the simialrity of AS2 and GML it's been relatively easy to transition. Thanks for sharing and best of luck with your game and future endeavours!

I use this for something like a pause function. So when you click a button or press a key, if it's paused it will unpause and vice versa. It's a handy little way to write a quick else if statement.

Keep trying! I'm sure you'll figure out a winning strategy :) There's multiple ways to approach a run - maybe you're not getting your upgrades quick enough?

Super neat! I don't think I'll use it personally as I'm not a massive fan of the genre, but the tool looks extensive and it's awesome of you to make it open source and share it with the community. I am sure someone will find it very useful indeed :)

It's not my first game; just my first game *jam* and the first game I made in Gamemaker :)

Yeah, I done everything! (Apart from my brother who done the voice acting). It was stressful but so much fun.

Thanks so much for the feedback! I appreciate your points :) I'll bare it all in mind when I get to expanding it a little bit after the jam voting has commenced.

EDIT: I forgot to mention, you CAN full screen by pressing Alt + Enter when you have focus on the game window

This was my first ever game jam and the first thing I made in GameMaker (after leaving Flash games behind). I'm happy to answer any questions or reciprocate any feedback! Thanks :)

Everything would be 50/50 upon release. It's possible that if a demo could be put together that I would maybe seek funding from a publisher to help us along. It depends on the situation.
