You don’t need any prior experience of design or coding to learn how to make a computer games. This book guides you through all the steps. After finishing this book you will have the skills to start making your own games.

Over the last ten years or so I have written many books on game programming, and have completed over two-hundred game projects.

During that time I have learnt GML coding to a reasonable level, and have picked up many skills, tips and tricks and methodology for making games in GameMaker & Game Maker Studio 2.

The purpose of this book is to provide you with some of the knowledge that I have acquired. I make no claim that I’m the best coder or designer, but I do have a proficient understanding that I would like to instill on other budding game makers.

Unlike previous books of mine that focused mainly on the actual GML code, this book covers the full design progress, with some code thrown in.

The main areas covered in the book are:

Basics In depth guide to commonly used GML.

Starting With An Idea This section covers what you need to do with your initial ideas and how to take them forward.

Initial Planning & Preparation Take your ideas forward, design the basic game layout, what objects will be present, and how they will interact.
