I love Flash Games and dreamed of making my own video games. But I never did because I was a moron. The first time I ever learned how to make a video game was in a class me and my two sisters joined in the spring about making games and animation. It was the first time I used Game Maker, but it was Game Maker 8. We worked on a click fruit game where you had to click on moving fruits and not click the bombs that make you lose. That was kind of lame. But then we worked on a maze game and that was cool.
Years later, I learned how to read and I picked up the old Game Maker 8 and read the tutorial of how to make that fruit game right… kind of. But I had a better understanding of it. But it turns out, that was a Game Maker 8 lite, and I can’t export the game I made. Shit.
Years later again, this month, I got bored and downloaded the new Game Maker, “free” on steam. Soon, I saw there was a tutorial on how to make the game Asteroids. YEAH! NOW WE'RE TALKING! This tutorial was more easy to understand and had way better graphics then that fruit game. I really got the hang of it, but making games is really hard and really fun when you're starting out. Also, I’ve been using GML Visual because I still don’t know how to code. Maybe I can put in the effort into learning more about game making and upload them on Newgrounds. BUT YOU STILL CAN’T EXPORT YOUR GAMES. I mena, you can upload them on GX.GAMES, but other then that, it’s fucking useless. I knew that from the start, but I still used it to learn. Here’s the thing about me. I personally believe that in some circumstances, no one should pay for anything. EVER!... Look, a better way of explaining this is I’ll pay for food, video games, movies, music and all that stuff. But I won’t pay shit for making stuff. I’m not making any money from making movies or art. I’ve been looking for a safe way to get a crack version of Game Maker 8 for Free, but I had no luck with finding one that is safe or that worked. Please don’t put me to jail for this. I know the people who work there need to eat, but they're still making bank. But I’ll try Godot too to see what's better… It's Godot. I never used it, but it’s free, so it’s better. But Game Maker has visual code and I still don't know how to code.
I just want to make a video game about this made up character I had when I was a little boy. It’s just a rip off of Megaman, but in outer space with aliens.
If I ever make games, someone else is gonna do all the work, while I make the art and writing. But until now, I’m gonna try to do it myself for now so I know what’s going on. It could also make me play more new flash games on Newgrounds. That something I want to work on. Sometimes I’m scared of doing new things.
