The GameMaker

[Crazy Cow]

Have you ever stared at an awesome flash game and thought, "Wow! I wish I could make that!" Well, I did, too. But there was no way I could make the games I thought of, even with the amazing custimizability of W3. But, about a month ago, I found a blessing in YoYo Games, and thier program: the GameMaker.

As the name suggests, this program allows you to create your own games. Platforming, adventure, RPG, scrolling shooter... you name it, the GameMaker allows you to create it. It features easy-to-use, drag-and-drop interface to create events and actions much like W3's Graphic User Interface, as well as code for those that are into more programming-like creation. Easy to use once you get the hang of it, with an endless supply of resources for use in your games, you can create your own games FOR FREE! While the Pro Edition needs to be bought and adds a few more features (such as the ability to make 3D games), the normal (Lite) edition can be used to create your own epic adventure. Finally, the website has numerous games made with thier tool available for play and download at thier website, http://www.yoyogames.com/. What are you waiting for? Go start making games NOW!
Look out for me, Crazy Cow, on the site. I have only recently joined, but plan to become active and make my own games for the site.

Maybe I'm just stupid, but I could never figure out variables. I find programming in Flash to be easier, but that's just me.

When I was a wee boy, I did make some things in game maker.

As a program, I can't recommend it.

There's a difference in contributing to making a game by making part of it, and actually making the whole game. You don't make games in a modelling-tool, you make models that can be used in the making of a game.
