Hey. Amazing tutorial, easiest I've seen. Gonna make a game soon, but, I wanna know if there's a way to make a sprite (like a character) jump, move, duck and stuff. I'm kinda making a game like the old Sonic the Hedgehof games. But is there a way to make a character jump up onto objects and such? Like bouncing off a spring or jumping up steps? And is there a way to create cutscenes or make people talk with each other? Or is that too complex for this game maker?

You're probably better doing that in flash, but you can do it in GameMaker. Set an event, if key is pressed, make character change image. So if the up key is pressed your character changes image into his "jump pose". You can set the gravity, and at collision with the floor object, he changes back. Same thing for everything else.

Yes there is o know this is an older comment but if you haven't figured out you just make the sprites and animation then use variables to set the main sprite change to the crouch and then have its own set of instructions that's what i did with my street fighter game.

i have tried but does not run.

When I start the Game Maker.exe, nothing happens but when I look at "Task Manager" it says that the program is running but I am unable to use it.

This was an amazingly easy tutorial. My cousin and I made a bucket list where you get 10 points for every time you finish a task. Our goal is to get at least 100 points by the end of the year and finish the list as soon as possible. Making a computer game was on the list, but I realized, considering our age (12 and 13), it's almost impossible. You proved it anything is possible when I began to doubt. Although the game is super simple, I'm proud of gaining experience at such a young age. I appreciate you posting a tutorial on this. The only tutorial I found, it's so thorough, even a baby can do it.

Hey my friends and I are going to make a game that's like a MMO except one player... I don't know how else to describe it other than like Poke'mon. Except really different. Could you please email me via ebag123@gmail.com on this? Thanks.

right now im making a game somewhat like pokemon using a program called Scratch (scratch.mit.edu) very easy, made for kids (like me, lol :P) by MIT (Masechusets, er however u spell it Intstitute of Technlogy or something :) ) very fun and easy.

that is funny. "a game that's like a MMO except one player"

Ebag123 in reply to yumyum1322Oct 11, 2009. 4:30 PM

:P Yeah... My friend and I are having some trouble with this... Anyone know of a program we can mess around in? Flash might work... we're working in it right now, but its not going too well...

You could use Adventure Game Studio (AGS). It requires learning a scripting language, but if you really want to make games you should be doing that anyways. It's really easy to learn.

gernig in reply to Ebag123Sep 28, 2009. 5:28 AM

so a single player mmo... wounds like an RPG. learn your self some knowledge.

dungeon runner in reply to gernigMay 2, 2010. 2:07 PM

Maybe he meant a sandbox type game. That might be considered "an MMO only single-player". Or maybe he just didn't know what an RPG was. Learn yourself some politeness (and perhaps some punctuation).

Agreed. Isn't there a "be nice policy" ?

I'm looking for someone to either create a tutorial or just the basic game for a hidden object game via Game Maker. Of coarse this is a paid assignment. If you are interested, plesae contact me and we can come to an agreement on the details.

m9tt4 says: Jul 2, 2010. 11:04 AM

Uhmm.. i have'nt read the instructions yet, but i would like to know to make with 3 different types of modes. The first would be sanbox, next would be the one person player part ( with missions), and the third part would be the MMo part. Can u please email me at Boyd1299@yahoo.com and tell me what to do?

HeyJD in reply to m9tt4Jul 19, 2010. 10:16 PM

Don't try and make those types of games yet! You'll know when your ready to make those games. You also need to learn how to code. If you want tutorials go to gmc.yoyogames.com

m9tt4 says: Jul 2, 2010. 11:22 AM

where is the sprite folder?
