I'm making a free demo for a game in GameMaker, and would like to get a programmer to work on the coding for free before I hire someone else to do the programming in a paid position. I need more time to finish the game's art, animation, and soundtrack, all of which I'm doing myself.
GameMaker's programming language, GML, is not that different from C++ or Python. You just have to not want to quit if you find that you don't like learning GameMaker.
If you want to do the programming, you will need to be able to easily read and build off of my own GML code, since I've already done a good chunk of the demo's programming myself. Also, my game is pretty weird.
I also consider myself a bit of an amateur programmer too. A lot of the times I had to have AI help me, and even that sometimes doesn’t work. Hopefully, you’ll be a bit better at it, though GameMaker uses its own language.
If you're interested, I'll discuss the game with you in more detail. Since I’m also doing the soundtrack as well, maybe you could also give some feedback on the game’s songs if you join in on the coding (although, most of the tracks that will be in the game don’t align with the types of music you listed).
