The top-down shooter will assume no coding knowledge at all to try to introduce all the basic features of GM as an engine for learning game development. For Windows users, download from here here, and for Mac, download the Lite edition from here. You must first download and install GameMaker.
Afterwards, you will be guided on making a more complex platformer-style game, building upon what we have learned previously. One will be a top-down shooter style game that will help you become familiar with GameMaker and with the concept of a minimum viable product. This guide will guide you through making two simple games. Written and developed by CU Game Dev, with support from ADI.
