Game Maker Impressions

I have been evaluating Game Maker for the past week or so. My impressions so far are favorable, Game Maker seems like an affordable, easy to use game platform. I have been following Derek Yu’s tutorial Game Maker For Beginners: Part I which is a pretty good introduction. I wholeheartedly recommend http://www.tigsource.com/ as a great site for aspiring game developers.

During my explorations I came across Jonathan Biddle’s Explodemon prototype created using Game Maker. See it here for an example of what can be done with Game Maker. Jonathan Biddle’s work is awesome, I highly recommend checking out his site: http://www.onebitbeyond.com/
