GameMaker Shmup Blog (PT-BR)
I had this interest in learning GameMaker Studio for a long time. So I decided to finally learn it. The best way of learning is doing, so I made a game.
The game I chose to make is a shmup due to my familiarity with the genre and the simplicity of controls. I could get the movement and player inputs working on day one and explore the engine's possibilities freely.
During this project I learned about a game jam that would be realized by Opera GX, the company that owns GameMaker, starting on June 5th. So now I had a project with a deadline, because I'd drop this project to focus on the game jam.
Unfortunately, Brazil-based developers could not join the game jam. This was a huge bummer. I did not finish this game.
