Hey everyone, I have been making my first game now for about 54 days using Game Maker Studio and wanted to share some videos and images. The game is almost done and I plan on sharing it here on itch.io for free on JUNE 20th 2022.
Here is the games current trailer:
Originally my idea started off as a sample animation I made of a chicken firing an egg at a bullseye target and showed it to some friends and had a good laugh.
Then one friend suggested I turn it into a casual game and see what happens. About a week later I started making the game using UNITY which I have used before but I was only using it for 3d world build and didn't do any coding so I was running into problems right away. I was going to hire a coder but was told I should try out game maker studio instead and after a few days I had a good chunk of my character animations set up and programmed in.
I have to admit that I owe Shaun Spalding a huge thank you for all of his tutorials on Youtube as well as random posting on reddit and the GMS forum for helping me program the game. I figure after I publish my first game I am going to jump right into the next one and making something a little more complex like having my character run around and jump and other things you would expect from a "real" game and of course I will start a new topic here to show more progress over a longer period of time.
Thanks for reading.
