Hello!

Meybe you make tutorial in GML how to make DRM for STEAM in games?

Using only GameMaker Studio 2.

Hmmm?

Hey Luna, 
I am not sure what you want me to do here. You want me to create an anti cheating and copying system for Gamemaker Studio 2 ???

Cheers,

I think this is a very fast tutorial.

There are some commands to check if, for example, STEAM is online or if it's on, and if it's not, the game won't start. I mean something like that.


A small tutorial on how to implement in GMS2 a DRM for STEAM in the game.
The point is, the game can only start when STEAM is online.


And what changes in v33?

It's getting ridiculous for these tech topics! Whats next? A neural net AI with A* path finding optimized to run 60fps? Why not just make a Cannon Fodder or Ikari Warrior clone as your next topic series, like some smart lad suggested????

What's wrong with this? I haven't found anywhere on YouTube how to do it. I'm talking about a one-episode tutorial because that's all it takes.

Is that such a big problem for you?

I learn to program from 1UP and I would like to see something like that too. Why make games when someone like you can steal them later?

Ah that you wanted a hardware interface tutorial through GM. If it is simple, sure. No offence to you, just think that 1UP could do bigger projects to teach not random technology.

Yeah. A small tutorial on how to implement in GMS2 a DRM for STEAM in the game.

Commands and what it should look like in general. Such a tutorial for 5-6 minutes.

I try to do this, but it doesn't work. I know how to do it when compiling the game outside of GMS2. But when compiling via GMS2 I dont know how to. I have not found such a tutorial anywhere on the internet. I think it would be useful for a lot of people. The point is, the game can only start when STEAM is online.


EDIT: Cannon Fodder clone? xD 

I'm for! I buy it when start make :)
