I thought there was something wrong with my computer lol
for some reason when i run, i cant move it. i made sure the code was the same, and it should be working. maybe there was an update to game maker as this was made 2 years ago, but if you see this please help
@@klondikebar2849 well there sure wasn't an update
@@GoingToAFuneral weird. i have no clue why this isnt working and i have gone through the code at least 1000 times already, and i cant find whats wrong.
@@GoingToAFuneral i just got it to work as i said that lmao its all good now
Just making a thing move on the screen seems almost anti-climactic to me after this huge long wait, but we have to start somewhere!
So glad to finally have an episode out. Shout outs to all my Patreon supporters for getting us over the line from preproduction into production.
Will be aiming to put new episodes out weekly in the new year. Have a great holiday season all!
yass
Awesome. Nice to see Ur new episode again. 🙋♂️
Hi shaun, do you think there will be a schedule to this series?
@@magic8ballin From the start of next year I'll be trying to get these out weekly.
@@ShaunJS Sounds good!
My 2 hours has been eaten by me making a character sprite
It do sometimes be that way
My first two months of making my game were eaten alive by making my character sprites.
It do indeed be like that.
Welcome to game dev, ai doesn't even help because it sucks.
real, its taken like thirty minutes to make the standing sprite💀
Woohoo! The Pilot episode, well done Shaun. Can't wait to get into the series.
I've been trying to learn GMS2 for literal years at this point and yours is the first tutorial I've found in all that time which is clear, good quality, and actually explains what's going on and why. From the bottom of my heart, thank you
how to make "or", when i type "||", game don't work
@@stanuhappying2478 Little late I know... but did you try removing the ";" at the end?
I left ";" in the wrong spot, which had me scratching my head for some time.
I did this: keyLeft = keyboard_check(vk_left); or keyboard_check(ord("A"));
When I was supposed to do this: keyLeft = keyboard_check(vk_left) or keyboard_check(ord("A"));
Has anyone finished this tutorial recently? I’m hoping to do this next but I’m worried some things don’t work anymore. If there’s fixes for the issues that don’t involve re designing entire mechanics/ blocks of code I’d be happy
This series is going to be absolutely astounding. So many GMS2 tutorials are either outdated, poor quality, or abandoned. This one is brand new and made by an amazing person! I have to admit that it will be a pain to wait for new episodes, but I'm willing to wait! Please don't drop the series, Shaun! You're doing the good work!
You're doing the good work shaun
Did you end up making a game?
Speaking of outdated
Lmao
@@Friredragon lmao
Making this comment late October 2023 having just finished the full series. Cannot recommend enough. Absolutely fantastic tutorial that gave me a really great understanding of GMS, and one of the best you will find on youtube. Just out of date enough that you sometimes you have to do some extra work yourself which helps with the learning, but still new enough that everything is relevant.
just starting, glad it still works
As someone going in now, do you have any advice for what to look out for? i have so many tutorials to begin with that are already out of date with UE5 having so many new features, how far off the beaten path do you need to go and where does that usually happen? Functions for sure, anything else?
i've never seen a tutorial so clear and understandable!
creating a game has crossed my mind so many times in past few months and i didn't know where to start
i'm currently saving money for gamemaker studio! thank you so much for explaining the way it works, creating my dream game will be so much easier!
Here I am, back where it began. I just finished the 51st episode. What a journey.
I came back to episode 1 to reference a couple things as I embark on my first self-directed project. Thanks again for all the help, Shaun.
Very much looking forward to this series. Congrats on all the hard work of putting it all together! I’ll be buying the assets to follow along every time a new vid gets released! Cheers :)
Dude the way you explain is amazing! It was never easier to follow a course, good job! Thank you so much and I wish you all the best! :)
You're going to get far Shaun, you really have some talent.
He's already employed by YoYo Games LTD...
@@HenrikoMagnifico was! I'm currently self employed and supported almost entirely by patreon.
@My JMV just follow the tutorial dude
@My JMV a game is not worth a sans foil card
@DezeMiauz snas undersnail
Shaun, you have no idea how much this has helped a starting-up indie game dev such as I. Thank you. We appreciate your work!
FINALYYYYYY ! I was wating for so long! Thank you Shaun for teaching us how to code on GML! Keep going like this!
Something that may not be obvious if you are new to programming: True is the same as the number 1 and false is the same as the number 0. inputMagnitude will result in either true or false but it is actually 1 or 0, so that is why we can multiply inputMagnitude by speedWalk. If you were wondering how it is possible to multiply a number by true or false.
Thank you for creating these tutorials. I know you say the progression is slow, but that's exactly what a first timer needs. Every video tutorial I've watched on Unity (by other TH-camrs) was way too fast, and there were things they didn't mention that a first timer would miss.
I just got back into making games recently and I am absolutely thrilled to have found this series! After finishing Crystalis on NES I decided I want to make a game in this kind of style. Thank you for all your hard work
Yes I’ve been excited for this glad it’s finally here!
For all you other macOS programmers, if you want to toggle to fullscreen you press control + command + f. Hope this helps!
Thanks man, for this one and all of your other videos. The way you explain your actions has been helping me to understand GML better. I'm always encouraged to experiment and edit my code and most importantly, I understand what I'm doing, as opposed to copy and paste nature of any other online tutorials. You're a great teacher !
This is a great Christmas gift, thank you Shaun!
Yay im excited that u finally came out with this :) hope more episodes won't be far behind :)
Thank you so much @Shaun Spalding for this series.
This series is literally god, took me from knowing almost nothing about GML to making a pretty sick game. Cheers Shaun!!
I am so hyped, thank you for this serie !
you're a great teacher, thanks for making these guides

Thank you for the simple introduction, I found the tutorial very easy to follow. Looking forward to the rest of the series!
Was so excited when I saw a new episode for coding.
the only channel I know that does good in depth coding tutorials (: (super excited)
should recommend friendlycosmonaut as well :)
Awesome, can't wait for the rest of the videos.
Why is the allow fullscreen option not working I’m pressing alt and enter but my computer just makes a weird sound and nothing happens please help. P.S I’m using windows 10
Still going with your platformer's tutes but so good to see you making these new ones!
Thanks man, I always find your tutorials helpful
Thank you for your tutorials Shaun. You are a superhero!
Coming from part 31 I have decided to create a new game prototype with all kinds of features including the ones you are teaching. For the sake of learning I started again, this time using my own syntax, writing a lot of descriptions on each event and using basic assets created in just a few hours (stylized figures) so I can focus on the game Mechanics before digging into Art and Sound.
Coming from the newer versions of GameMaker I have been able to wrap all Scripts inside a few Scripts and other funny stuff for crazy organised people like me.
Cheers!
i'm so excited for this series, thank you so much for produce your awesome content, you really inspire me. :D
omg hell yeah I can't wait to dig into this after I finish the action platformer one!! Between those two I feel like I'll have the knowledge to figure out how to do pretty much anything
a year and a half.
CONGRATULATIONS
greetings from Argentina, best GMS2 youtuber ever, hope you get more subs. You deserve it
I had experience with Unity, and I'm migrating to GMS2. So I needed a complete project, and not that simple... so I could relearn everything in GMS2... This project it's PERFECT for this so far. So clear, and well explained. And also doesn't "hold your hand" too much, explaining the functions, and not just writing everything down.
You are so good at explaining stuff!
yussss! Been waiting :). (wonder why i didnt get the notification, youtube?) You're a very talented man shaun, thank you! Cant wait for the rest of the series!
Exactly a year later, I'm starting to work on my action RPG thanks for making this
Glad to see some form of camera management early on development, that caused me some headaches when I had more stuff in and many conditions for the camera to follow...
This is excellent! Can't wait for more.
Looking forward to this Shaun.
Coming back now that you have finished. Thank you for the 20 month commitment. Looking forward to working through it.
I finally decided to follow your tutorials to learn more about Game Maker!
Thanks for the tutorial, one of the very few that still works. It took me a whole day to find out that the game didn't run because of typing errors.
You're the best Shaun. Cheers
Amazing tutorial, much gratitude!!
oh my god. I had just started working on a new RPG game, but it was being made in RPG Maker so i didn't have much hope for it. Out of nowhere, this arrives. Thank you Shaun.
RPG Maker is very good! Some incredible games have been built with it. =)
Really looking forward for more videos!
Do you know when you spend 3 days trying to find a rpg game creating tutorial? Yeah, I litteraly spend 3 days to find one and I actually found ONE in 1 day, but the results weren't the results I wanted... So I spend 2 more days and I found this one, where I just understood everything about the first video, I even added more stuff while I was exploring the functions of things and now--- now I'm gonna make my dream 2D game with this tutorial (playlist of videos about a single tutorial) now... I'M HAPPY! :)
Thanks for your videos, they are very helpful, at least for me. :)
Have a great life.
Video might be old but im gonna comment anyways. I took a game maker summer class back in like 2012 lol...anyways recent videos of people making games has inspired me to revisit it. Your tutorials are great. I am super greatful for you leaving the assets folder. Much respect to you and your work.
Nice! I'm glad you finally finished it! Or at least, finished the demo :P
Very amazing tutorial! You explained what everything does which most people don't. Thanks very much for the tutorial!
Hi Shaun! Thank you for the great Tutorial! I got one question and I hope you can help me out! My object is flickering, when I'm moving diagonally (e.g. by pressing up and right simultaneously). - Like it is jumping back and forth 1 pixel. Got any idea, why it is like that? Thanks!
I watch the ads without skipping. I hope you get paid more, you deserve it. Thank you.
I found you through the yoyo games channel. The tutorial there was so amazing that I had to come and check out the channel. With just this last week, I have learned more about coding than the few months I was working with Unity. I can confidently go into a new project and create a nice little game within just a few hours (2d platformer), ready to tackle some top down ARPG. And with the knowledge I already had, i was able to make a very minimal game like this with a lot of trial and error and understanding how the platforming side worked. Cant wait to expand my knowledge even more!
It's RPG btw, not ARpg
@@conormahony586 top down action rpg. Top down arpg.
PLEASE HELP! Everything works but my player sprite shakes when moving diagonally, if I use round like this...
hSpeed = round(lengthdir_x(inputMagnitude * walkSpeed, inputDirection))
it causes straight movement to speed up and diagonal movement to slow right down.
Having same issue. Stutters when moving diagonally. Did you manage to fix this? Thanks
@@djlawzon I did some things differently to Shaun, but basically I used round() or floor() on the camera movement and player movement. I'm so sorry I can't be more specific, but it was a while ago. If you persist with this series, Shaun talks through these functions, and I think rounds movement. You'll know what to do by then.
You are a king! We're making this sort of game atm, so hopefully we'll find some sweet code in this tutorial :D
This is fantastic. You deserve things.
WOW! I never thought you would do something so cool, I love this content that gives us knowledge that we didn't know, I can't help with a lot, but I'll subscribe and leave a like here.
I’m going to follow every bit of this.
Nice ! I have trouble for making a Zelda fan game and I think this serie is gonna help me !
thanks so much shaun your tutorials are really good also with the other platformer you mentioned in the video whenever you type oWall instead you need to type all this is 2020 and the all trick works :D
IT'S HERE!
Very helpful. Thanks for making videos like these.
Super helpful I really needed this
i've always wanted to make an rpg thank you for making this shaun :D!!!
Türk müsün kanka
perfect way to end the year ;D thanks my boi
I create a different type of game, but I can see now stuff I want I will learn from this.
Thanks man for awesome vids.
Decided to start right one. Never had the courage to finish a single game. I hope I'll get through this, doesn't seem too hard and I know I can do this.
Thanks for the tutorial !!
I'm on the same boat. Still making a game?
I can’t wait!!!
In case anyone wants to know
hSpeed = dcos(inputDirection)*speedWalk*inputMagnitude;
vSpeed = -dsin(inputDirection)*speedWalk*inputMagnitude;
Should be the same as lengthdir
thank you :)
Dude you just saved my life
I see you moved from hsp and vsp to hSpeed and vSpeed. Tips for newbies: you need to capitalize the S. Otherwise they are default variables and your object starts moving at the end of the frame automatically if they are anything but 0. That prevents complicated collision checks from working correctly. You may want to move in one direction before checking for the other direction. Default variables may get you stuck in corners because they see that both directions are clear of objects and then move you in both directions even though there was an object in the corner.
thanks for uploading these i appreciate it :)
Good job bro! Keep it up. thanks for the amazing tutorial
Great video. Great tips on workspace navigation in this video (ie: full-screen code windows and right-clicking.) Much obliged.
This is exactly what I was looking for
Thank you for making more videos!
hi. I got lost at the part where you scale to fulscreen using alt+enter. I have checked my display setting and it is 1366 x 768. Is there a problem if the display resolution is not 16:9?
hey does anyone knows how is he going to do the running animation to every single direction, seeing that he used one unique sprite with 4 frames to render the character in all those?
THANK YOU THIS IS A LIFESAVER IM TRYING TO MAKE A SMALL INDIE GAME BEFORE SCHOOL OPENS FOR ME AGAIN AND THIS IS QUITE HELPFUL
Anyone know how I would be able to change this to 4 directional movement rather than 8? I am having trouble with the stair casing effect on diagonal movement because of the pixel size. I think it will look better without diagonals. Please help!
Yeeee new full tutorial.
Yay a new tutorial series!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks, Shaun!
How are you moving the camera as you work? I'm trying to work on ''room_0'' but the room is off to the left of and hanging off my screen. Please help!
Hi. Is there any benefit to using your inputDirection system in this game over the moveX moveY system in your platformer tutorial?
shaun, there are no words for how many times you've already saved my ass.
Thanks for the tutorial video. I have a problem where the sprite not moving when I press the keyboard directions, any idea how to solve this? thanks
To create a Sprite you can import to paint or you need exactly an aplication to do that?
I'm having a bit of a bug in that each individual frame continues to display even after the next frame has been called, thus producing a visual effect similar to the "bouncing cards" when you win a game of Solitaire. Does anyone have any idea what might be causing this?
So I have an 8-directional sprite sheet. Each sheet is a direction with rows for Idle, Walking, Running, etc. So the animated directions are on separate sheets. How would I work this into the tutorial?
Good job Shaun you're a good lad.
resolution at 640x360 still stretches sprites when viewed at 720p and 1080p. Any fixes to this?
which app did you use to create the pixel files? I have no idea how to start because i dont know how i can create the sprites
JEE I CANT WAIT FOR NEW EP
Thanks Shaun!
Me: Just finished Platformer Tutorial and feeling badass!
Shaun: And that's how the little dude walks!
Me: ah, there we go again... =)
Thank you for the tutorial S2
yeah boyyy, just finished the Platformer tutorial.
Lets get into it :D
