Getting Started with GameMaker Studio 2: A Step-by-Step Guide

Are you ready to create your own game with GameMaker Studio 2? In this tutorial, we will take you through the process of setting up a new project, learning the interface, and creating a prototype for your game. With a simple idea in mind, you can start making your own game today.

Naming Your Project

When starting a new project, it's essential to name your objects and project in a way that will make sense later on. For example, many people name their objects 'obj_somthing' or 'Osomething.' This naming convention helps you quickly identify what each object is used for.

Setting Up Your GameMaker Studio 2 Project

Once you've named your project, select the GameMaker Language instead of Drag and Drop. One of the benefits of GMS 2 is that it doesn't require a bunch of scattered dependencies to make it work.

To begin making your first game, click on 'New' under 'Getting Started.' This will take you through the process of creating a new project in GameMaker Studio 2.

What You Need to Know

Before we dive into the tutorial, here are a few things to keep in mind:

* GMS 2 is not free, but it's still an excellent tool that's relatively cheap for a high-quality game engine.

Step 1: Project Setup and Learning the Interface

Now that we have our idea, it's time to move on to the actual project setup and learning the interface. With a simple idea in mind, it's time to make your own game! That's about all you need before entering the prototype phase – no design document, no multi-step plans (yet).

In this tutorial, we will learn how to make a game by starting with an idea and then creating a prototype around that idea. You don't need to have any prior coding experience, but it's expected that you know some basic coding concepts.

That's it for now! In the next part of this tutorial, we will start setting up our project and learning the interface in more detail. Stay tuned for more information on how to make your own game with GameMaker Studio 2.
