Welcome to this video tutorial on how to make your own game in Game Maker.
We will be using the tool Game Maker Studio from Yoyo games.
in Game Maker you can make 2D and 3D games
and we will focus on making 2D games.
So go to the menu
and select the Studio family.
Here you can learn more about the different editions
and we will click learn more about the free edition that we will be using.
On this page we can learn
the features of the edition
and also see what the bigger editions support.
The free edition
does have some limitations and you can learn about these here.
It is mostly limitations on how many resources you can include in your game.
So if you are serious about making games
you should at some point probably upgrade to a bigger version.
But for now we will use the free edition
and find the download button and click download free.
Once the download is complete
find your downloaded file and run the installer.
The program is now installed into the selected folder
and we can click finish. Remember to
keep the checkmark in start Game Maker Studio.
Because now it will run the final install and also run an update of
Game maker.
So the install is done and now we can click install updates. We want to do this
because this adds features to Game Maker.
Once done click install and relaunch.
Finally you will see the welcome screen of Game Maker Studio and that concludes
this tutorial. Thanks for now.
