Game Maker is basically dead now

What a retarded image
that means you're dead
that means you're a conformist sheep

Sleep with the fishes is dead. Not swim with the fishes.

People should dump Game Maker already and make the switch to Enigma and Godot and EasyRPG once it gets to a usable state

What exactly is wrong with godot?

The documentation is not very good, and 3D is still underdeveloped. Other than that, I can't see how it is bad.

Fuck, it's a perfect replacement for GameMaker and a less overkill solution than Unity for indie 8bit retro zombie platformers.

on a more serious note, there appears to be GDevelop (compilgames.net/), a sort of crossplatform and open source clone of Construct 2

Clickteam Fusion will forever and always be commercial and proprietary, even if it's definitely changed from what it once was in 1994.

use ohrrpgce

It's not dead you idiot. There is a steam forum and reddit.

The forums are down while they swap to a much better software and hardware environment. Also, they are probably launching the new forums alongside the new version coming out this summer.

The forums have been down for months now, this 'migration' is taking way too long, actually read the link in OP you pleb.

Followup post: csanyk.com/2016/06/follow-gamemaker-exodus/

Use godot engine, it's good.

GDevelop is unstable garbage.

Best engines:
Retard-tier: Snap!
Good-tier: Godot
1337 hacker-tier: Urho3D

Undertale is the last good game made with Game Maker. I was planning to check it out soon too. Fuck.

See OPs comment:

???

While support is shit, the engine itself is super easy and extremely functional.

Undertale is a walking simulator with the illusion of choice
The DT series are actual games

DT?

Undertale is most definitely not a walking simulator, jackass.
Just because it has a shitty fandom does not make it a walking simulator.
Go back to Holla Forums.
And take this shitty vidya discussion with you.

Tired of Holla Forumsirgin dicksuckers here. Go suck Mark's dick, he's Jim's favorite hotpocket after all, enough to be the mod he reassigned Holla Forums to.

You fit the description of the average UnderFail fan quite nicely tbh

It's a decent homage for what it is, implying that it's a "walking simulator" because of the autistic fandom is simply not true.
I know it's hard for you to swallow that your hotpocket in chief is basically Jim's favorite autist, and he reassigns boards to him due to that favoritism.
/sp/, too, has been reassigned by the new staff. Probably a bunch of legacy boards as well.
But keep sucking that dick fam.

Anyways, take this shit to Holla Forums.

/sp/ was reassigned because the old owner left. The only irregular thing was that it was reassigned after one week instead of two weeks.

The owner didn't leave, and it was never on the claims page.
Go suck the staff's dick some more.

Don't engage with the mentally ill user, he unironically likes Undertail. He has autism, there's no point in arguing

okay enjoy your linear meme/furryporn generator with fake RPG mechanics

You Holla Forumsirgins really need to go the fuck back to Holla Forums.

...

>>>Holla Forums

Not to mention the discussion over videogames in the thread, or the staff dicksucking.

He cleared out the board, made a sticky telling people to go to 76chan, and didn't do anything for a week. I think that means he left.

Like I said, the irregular thing was that it was reassigned after a week, instead of after the two weeks it takes for it to show up on the claims page.

There's no rules against that, at all.
They reassigned the fucking board despite the rules of claims.
If they wanted to change the rules, change the rules.
This is the second time that /sp/ has been reassigned despite the owner following the rules.

Also, it wasn't "a week" try "months" since /sp/ left.
Their board owner still logged in multiple times per week, and Jim or Codemonkey still reassigned the fucking board to some retarded weeaboo who wanted it.

Don't worry though, they'll shitpost the fuck out of it once anyone even tries to use it.

SHIIIT
I had a few games on there. Didn't back all of them up

Enjoy your mind control faggot.

...

Someone should tell him about Godot.

>>>Holla Forums
I understand it as a homage, not that I like it, and to say that it's a walking simulator is just Holla Forumsirgin shitposting.

Archive Team probably managed to get at it before it went down

Nuking your own board is against he rules, you idiot. And if the owner has left, the board will be reassigned, even if he logs in every week.

Do you have a source? All I know is that changing the CSS to make posting impossible or range-banning everyone makes your board eligible for claiming.

Ipse dixit.

The board wasn't nuked, /sp/ was posting memes.
Nuking the board would be deleting everything.
Once again, go suck the staff's dick some more.

And as a matter of fact, the new owner did nuke pretty much all the memes.
So if anyone's breaking the rules, it's him.

All posts on /sp/ were deleted, and before the ownership was transferred.

THIS IS WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU RELY ON PROPRIETARY SOFTWARE

No, it wasn't, you fucking tremendous retard.
Look at the god damn logs.
8ch.net/log.php?board=sp
It was reassigned, some faggot when on a deletion spree, and then reassigned again where some faggoty went on another deletion spree.
No deletions were done prior to when it was reassigned, when it wasn't even on the board list.

Stop sucking admin cock, you tremendous faggot.

Again
It was reassigned by the fucking staff when it wasn't even on claims. They had no reason to reassign it other than the fact that it was a legacy board that they wanted for a friend or some random weeaboo.
I'm betting on the fact that it's someone in IRC they reassigned it to.
This place is no different from 4chan, in that they have Hotpockets in IRC cliques that constantly suck the dick and cater to the whim of Jim and Codemonkey. You've traded 4chan for 4chan-reddit-lite, and 75% uptime.

You guys are right; telling your userbase to destroy the board and fuck off before proceeding to domain-squat on your board's popular name solely so that nobody else can use it is not unethical in the slightest and anyone who wishes to do this should definitely be allowed to. The users of /sp/ are affected very deeply by this blatant abuse of power on the part of the admin team of this site that they do not use anymore.

Gas yourself.

it was what I was originally responding to, at the beginning of the chain.
learn to read, dipshit.

is there an emulator for game maker? I wanna play hydorah and luftrausers.

the latest version doesn't even fucking work.
they need to fix both their installer and their compiler.

it's a nice idea, but fucking hell is it that hard to just make your shit work properly from the get-go?

game maker games aren't roms user, you should be able to play them fine.

GameMaker was dieing ever SINCE YoYo Games bought it. THEY are the ones that killed the damn thing in the first place.

GM8.1 was the last good GameMaker. Notice how much of the GM8 features became depreciated, just so that they could please the roadmap of cross-platform builds?

The devs at YoYo are incompetent, always have been...that's why their UI and UX is so amateur, and why simple shit like the isometric grid no longer works in the room editor.

Let's make Godot great again

You know what he means, a reverse-engineered runtime, like SCUMMVM.

It does, I use it regularly.
enigma-dev.org/docs/Wiki/Install:Linux

I remember using Game Maker and thinking "The fuck is all this shit, I just want to make a game." You practically need tutorials to do anything in that unholy mess. I'm honestly glad that it's dead now.

I installed it from the AUR and I get an error about "unable to communicate with library." Searching only gave me a github issue with no real solutions.

Why are you guys saying game maker is not for programmers? You know no one actually uses drag and drop right? You script like in every other game engine, you just don't have to program the very basics of your engine like rendering for example.

What the fuck, you just need to follow the basics tutorial which takes like 15 minutes and that's it, there's a manual with everything you need in the engine. Did you expect to know all the functions in it?

Here's an article from the same author

csanyk.com/2016/06/arguing-links-gender-dumb-important/

Don't, build it from source, the AUR is outdated.

If you only use scripts, I have no idea why you're using GM for it; just grab a standalone engine. GML is a horrible language which is inconsistent everywhere, and pretty much the PHP of gamedev.

I use scripts only because you can't do anything serious with drag and drop, so this is why it kinda annoys me when people say it's not programming. I mean I wrote all that stuff to make my game work but it wasn't programming? What was it then?

But yeah GML isn't that good I agree, it has a lot of quirks, but it did it's job so far for me. It has a lot of useful data structures though.

There's a huge difference between "not for programmers" and "not programming".

Well if we're going that way we might as well also say that godot, unity, unreal and so on are not for programmers. They are just game engines, but the logic that you use to create games is still programming. Obviously if you wanna actually create some engine by yourself you are more enthusiastic about programming than games, so in this case yeah, it might not be for serious programmers.
