Building a Crafting Game, with GameMaker

Hi there!

This course is all about developing a crafting game, in GameMaker. We'll learn to code with GameMaker Language and develop our game from the ground up!

About the Instructor

Hi, I'm Gurpreet S. Matharoo! I've been teaching game development for years, and making games for longer. I've taught over 5 courses on Udemy, published numerous tutorial posts on my blog, and regularly create free tutorials on my YouTube channel, GameMakerStation. I also work at YoYo Games as the Technical Writer for GameMaker.

About the Course

Whether you're a beginner with no coding background, or a game developer looking to gain more experience; this course will help you get where you need to be. We're gonna go through many practical lessons, learning something new at each step!

Here are some things we'll be learning in this course:

• GameMaker Language basics

• Player movement with pickaxe

• Resolution handling

• Breaking objects with pickaxe

• Setting up data with arrays and enums

• Stacking inventory using data structures

• User interfaces

• Crafting systems

• and more!

This course is based on v2.2 of GameMaker Studio, but includes updated lectures communicating the structural changes introduced in v2.3.

Support

I'm always active in the Q&A forum, so if you ever need to ask any questions or clear any doubts, I'll be there to answer them!

You'll also be given a download to the finished project, along with all the resource files used. You can simply use the given images to build the game, so that you don't have to create your own sprites.

I'm looking forward to you joining the course. Let's start our journey!
