Game Maker 6.1

Game Maker

The only application I've ever found myself addicted to.

by: Myself_304 on 28-Feb-2007 12:36:26 AM

Pros: Game Maker us straightforward, and easy to use. It gives you all the power and flexibility you need to make any type of game you want. I am a huge download junkie. Throughout the years I have installed well over a thousand applications on my computers, tried them, and used them. Game Maker continues to be one of my favorite finds of all time! If I had to list ten applications I thought were just brilliant, Game Maker would make that list for sure. If you'd like to make your own games without learning how to program, look no further. Download Game Maker! (This is NOT a paid review! I'm just a wild fan of this program.)

Game Maker

Best development suite for kids/toddlers games

by: armensoft--2008 on 16-Jan-2007 08:36:52 PM

Pros: We have found GameMaker the best tool to create kids and toddlers games. You can knock off a simple educational game in few hours. Since version 3, a lot has changed and has been added. Even the donation amount we paid has paid off after the 2nd sale of our games.

Cons: Non for what is designed to do.

Game Maker

Difficult to use...

by: The Fat Controller on 27-Jan-2007 04:27:28 PM

Pros: It's awkward to use for a user like me, but with practice and experience the interface becomes familiar and gamemaking becomes easy. It's a brilliant platform where you soon start getting results for your efforts. There's also a comprehensive help file that comes with it, and it supplies the answers to most queries.

Cons: The interface is confusing at first, you need to practice before you can make real games.

Bloodshed Dev-C++ is better

by: dalkoset on 20-Mar-2008 04:19:34 AM

Pros: Script functions is work, but not all.

Can use alpha effect, make 3D shapes, vertexs without lighting and shadow, make a simple platform game and some things.

Cons: 1) This program content no work functions like:

instance_position(x,y,obj) << Impossible to use this condition in this position with the object

2) Impossible to call DLL functions (I have tested "gdi32.dll", but it not work)

3) Very Very hard to put dialog commands in window

4) The gamma isn't work

5) The IP connection isn't work

6) 3D vertexs isn't work with shadow

7) To create a Yoshi game who can to flight his tongue, I has LUCKY because it ALMOST IMPOSSIBLE to do it with GameMaker! (I used logic and old version:5.3)

8) The LibBuilder is work only like GameMaker 4.3

9) The original MIDI music drums isn't work

Then, I think that is good only for kid, but NOT for good games like SuperMario64 and not for mature games like WarRock.

Bloodshed Dev-C++:

It's very good with examples because:

1) Can use dialog commands

2) Can use 3D shapes and 3D vertex with lighting and shadow, IT WORK ALL !

3) Can use sprites with palettes like you edit a PCX colors with AdobePhotoshop like mario star in SuperMarioWorld

4) Etc.

Then, Bloodshed is better cause it's a true program! LOL LOL LOL :D
