• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  I am no game developer but have over the past few years played around with GameMaker and their studio software[0]. I would imagine it to be one of the easiest ways to get started with making a 2D game. Then there is also the option of not jumping directly into the coding bit, and rather cultivate in your son the ability to do on paper designs first. This is a skill that would probably benefit him later in life as... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• Ask HN: Yo wants to build a game, I'm lost. What can I do?

  My introduction to programming was when I was 10 with GameMaker. I found that the same company has a product with the same name that seems to be the spiritual succesor of it[0]. I allowed me to start with very simple no-code and move on to incrementaly add codes nipets here and there. Eventually I went crazy and tried to make a game fully with code, avoiding all the tools the engine gave me, just as an experiment... - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago

• What programming language do the Battle Network games use?

  If you're looking for a tool that's fairly simple for a beginner, but has the flexibility to also offer more advanced features as you learns more, and has plenty of tutorials and learning resources available for a novice programmer starting out: it's worth noting that GameMaker has recently (i.e. 2 weeks ago) been made completely free for non-commercial users.

• Having trouble logging in through GameMaker after the new update?

  Go to https://gamemaker.io/en, and accept the new TOS. You won't be able to log in through the software until you do. Source: 5 months ago

• How do I start making indie games?

  There are a thousand ways to get started. I'm assuming you have no programming experience, in which case I'd start with an all in one package, like: Https://gamemaker.io/en. Source: 8 months ago

• Featured Mod of the Month: Phil Ashby

  Publishing on platforms like itch.io are a great way to get feedback (but see comments about comments earlier!) and to see if an idea is worth pursuing. Self-published mini-games are also a good way to scratch that gamedev itch when it isn't your day job too - I should push a couple myself actually! - Source: dev.to / 18 days ago

• I randomly got MK11 booster when I haven't played the game for almost 4 years. Is my account compromised or something?

  This guy might not be farming. I'm not, but I have hundreds of cheap games from early humble bundles, huge itch.io fund raiser bundles, etc. Source: 5 months ago

• [SUGGESTION] If you liked The Painscreek Killing and Obra Dinn...

  I just found this game on itch.io and it's SO GOOD! Source: 5 months ago

• System Suggestions

  Combat is as gritty as the GM makes it. Healing is TOUGH out of the box, so by default it is already pretty gritty. In fact, part of the crew premise is players can have a few 'cast of characters' that sub in when a PC is in a rough spot. You as the GM choose what type of physical harm to give out, and how often - so it's pretty controllable. Like I said, look at itch.io for some alternate healing ideas if you... Source: 5 months ago

• Civitai dropped by its cloud computing provider after reports of possible CSAM

  I have just registered at itch.io and paid $10 for kudos. I don't have a GPU-equipped PC, I am just curious about the Horde system. Downloaded the client to my Windows laptop and ran it to generate a 512x512 picture of Julia fractal (my test prompt) with the Midjourney model, there seemed to be no SDXL models to choose from. It took about a minute to generate. The 2nd generation (with the same prompt), which took... Source: 5 months ago
