Who /gamedev/ here? I'm making a demo in Game Maker using tutorials and using some of the money my dad left me to pay people to make the art and music. I figure then I'll be able to launch a Kickstarter and get it funded. I refuse to be a wagecuck!

Same here anon
it's not original

>Game Maker
Doomed to fail. At least use Unity (ew) or Unreal.
Or better yet, write your own engine and actually learn how to program.
>>25243394
>Doomed to fail
Untrue.
>learn how to program
Already know how.
>>25243419
>Claims to know how to program
>Uses Game Maker
I don't believe you.

It's a million times easier than making my own engine. Why would I waste my time when I can create the same thing in Game Maker?
>>25243473
If you've never written your own engine then you aren't qualified to make games because you will fundamentally misunderstand the problem set.
If you insist on using someone else's solution, at the very least use something that's shipped successful games, like Unity. Unity is literally drag and drop. Personal license is free. It's just as easy as Game Maker but has robust support for anything you want, and the asset store is very well populated. It's great for 2D games especially.
Unreal is the "best" choice for 3D games right now thanks to their permissive license.
Game Maker is just shit-tier, all around. Awful performance. Horrible API. It's easy to use but it's crippling. Try to name one successful project that's written in game maker, compared to the hundreds written in Unity.

Lmao what a shitty autistic nigger calling himself a "dev" while using game maker. May as well use RPG maker 2000
>>25243634
Go back to work wagecuckie.
>>25243627
Lel. And it was rewritten and patched into a custom engine a couple of years after release, to fix bugs that were unfixable because of Game Maker's constraints.
Have fun with your wageslave job op
>>25243666
only after the game came out and became incredibly succesful. the guys who made it probably couldn't build their own custom engine at the time but they still made one of the best indie games regardless
>>25242744
Good luck m8. Know that it's literally one of the hardest careers to make it in, much like starting a band.
Tip: Limit yourself to say 3 months per game. Start small, and improve as you go. Don't burn out. Don't spend years on a project that may or may not be successful.
>>25242744
>Game maker
you better be 14 or something, because as an adult, using this is shameful
like the other anon said, Unity engine is the bare minimum for anything serious.
Unreal engine for nex-gen stuff

...cont:
Your first game(s) WILL fail. Treat them as learning experience, to perfect your workflow and game design abilities and to establish yourself in a niche.

Reddit the game hory shitu
>>25244097
desu if you made a game about the struggles of a tranny in modern America I bet you'd make a shit ton of cash from all the SJWs even if the game was shit.
Maybe try that, OP?
>>25242744

I wish I could but I Have like zero fucking motivation. I get home from wageslavery, watch some porn, cook dinner and fall asleep. And on weekend I Just play games and fuck around on the internet. Woe is me.
>>25244097
So a Reddit game can't be successful even if it's made millions in sales?
>>25245380
yeah it's successful among queers and western teenagers, such a great game
>>25246095
You asked for a successful game. I don't give a fuck who buys my game as long as people are buying it.
>>25246119
>you asked for
I'm not that guy, Undertale is shit no matter how successful it is thanks to faggots and SJW
>>25246154
Alright. I'm sure if you were Toby Fox you'd still be saying that.
>>25243736
What you mean brah? All you had to do was copy the top games of all time from addictinggames. That is essentially what some of the top apps are:
>Angry birds = bowman
>flappy bird = helicopter game
I forget the other examples I had. But you get the point.
>>25242744
I was working on it but like... ehhh. Takes forever, am unmotivated AF, burned out on like 4 projects. Thinking about going for neetbux.
