The Chromatic Shield - Amiga throwback sidescroller [Made in GameMaker]
The Chromatic Shield is a throwback to good old Amiga games. Here you play as the hero that wields a big meteriod made shield and well, solve puzzles with it. The graphics are neat and the music is very good.
The game was made in one month, so this is a good example how you can make a game made in GameMaker. It is in its current stage only a demo, so if you have a few minutes to spare, check it out! I wish the developes good luck with their title.
This is the 26th video in a series on remaking Hotline Miami in GameMaker Studio.
The video tutorial shows you how to quickly setup the inbuild mp grid pathfinding system that can be used for the enemy's ai movement. For that we need a global object that sets up the mp_grid and marks walls which need to be avoided in the pathfinding. Next we link the created grid with the enemie's own path so the ai can take over the movement automatically.

This character creation tool made in GameMaker Studio 2 will be way to create your own custom sprite for a sidescroller with only a few clicks.
You can choose there between distinct states like idle, run, fall, jump, attack, dead and hit for seperate sprite parts like the head, face, eyes, body or arms. In essence you can build your own character with modular parts with the colors you pick. The only limited is the imagination.
The idea is that you can simply create the sprites you need for your game in a few clicks.
The tool is has 2 version, basics and the full version that will be getting constant updates to enhance the parts you can you. These update packs will be something like a police pack, solider pack etc. .

This video tutorial is all you need to know about the diffrent kinds of draw_sprite functions in gamemaker studio in the draw event. The draw sprite is the gold standard and will be probably used the most but what if you need to to draw only a part of a sprite? Well, in that case you can use a different draw sprite function, namely draw_sprite_general.

Despot's game is a auto-battler with rougle lite elements made by Konfa Games.
Your job is to equip, upgrade, position and feed your sausage minions during the maze level so that they can beat the boss of each level.
Since this is only a demo and I can only give some impressions of it, here it is in short:
The good
- lovely pixel art and animations
- decend music
- cool humor + tons of memes
- quick runs
- upgrades, classes and synergies
- sausage minion managment
- rougle lite elements
- free demo, this here
The bad
- no real strategy, because of random fights can end it very fast
Tldr.: Is the demo worth it? Yes, it is

This tutorial is for beginners who want to copy some concepts from other popular games but are unsure how to actually set these up in their own games. The structures discussed here are applicable to basically all game engines but since this is a gamemaker youtube channel, the focus will therefor for the gamemaker ide. No coding or advanced knowledge is required to understand the concepts shown here because I will only show you the abstract solutions to structures used in Nuclear Throne.
