[Gamemaker] GMTK game jam

I made “The Emu Wars” for the GMTK game jam. It was a simple point and shoot game inspired by the old flash game I used to play as a kid. But the Emu part was the unexpected trouble for me. As I always mention, I have confidence in coming up with ideas, solving problems and programming. But the arch enemy of my gamemaking journey is the art part of it. So when I had to draw and animate an emu, that took me more than 8 hours and didn’t even meet my standards.

[Gamemaker studio] 100 minute game jam

I spent too much time brainstorming and had debug collision squares all over the screen in the submission. Overall, I just consider it as my first step towards the next jam. ...

[Gamemaker studio] Making a twitch bot with Gamemaker studio 2

I made a twitch chatbot using gamemaker studio 2. I’m using it on my stream so you can check it out when I go live! One of my many philosophies is ’every program is a form of a game’. I applied this philosophy to this project and used Gamemaker to make a chatbot. Since then however, I’ve made a new one using node.js for futureproofing and other utility reasons. ...
