So today I went on the GMC forums to see what i've been missing out on. I laughed when the first thread I come across is this: http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=490196 Read the first 7 comments. The original post is fine. Nothing against the poster. The behavior that GMC members display just amuses me.
Is anyone working on a project or interesting script? I keep looking for something interesting in the GM world to pop up and fail to see past clones and modifications of previous scripts/programs/games. Or an idea. I've been wanting to take part in a project that'll prove to be useful. Let me know.I've been wanting to learn C++ forever now and I think It's time for me to step up to the challenge instead of just sitting around wanting the knowledge. For those of you who learned how to program in the language, what strategy proved most useful? Googling C++ tutorials? Watching videos? Or would you advise taking classes? Just curious.
Lol, GMC.
I'm working on a game/project that I've been working on for more than 5 years, and people are beginning to assist me with things, because it's too big of a project just for one person to work on, Alert has offered to help me with 39Dll based multiplayer, and RamboFox is helping me with sprites.I think
we needto learnenglish =/I personally think I'm gonna stop using Game Maker and just try to do all my game making with Unity. Much better for cross-platform and 3D development, plus it'll be good to get away from GML and start using C#.
And while certainly not better suited for making 2D games, you can still make 'em with Unity. Since it's still a 3D engine though, you can take advantage of the fact that your game is technically 2.5D.I have a few big-ish projects. None of them ever remain dead for longer than maybe a week, but right now I don't have a computer, so it'll be a while before I can work on any. Maybe I'll contact you about them at some point if I remember.
I have a bunch of unfinished projects that I feel have potential but I've lost motivation on them. They kinda sit on my computer. Maybe I'll throw a portfolio together and show some demos. I've been hiding a lot of stuff.
Is C a necessity to learn C++ or should I just focus on C++?
I've got some projects on hold but currently trying to work on a shootemup since that's more reasonable than an MMORPG lolol!! oh I remember those days…
@JID Don't forget me on the particles :P
