I have just downloaded Game Maker 8, and I want to ask some questions about that. 1.Can you create upgraring avability with that in game? 2.Can you create co-op at game with it? 3.Can you create editting avability with that (like gun editor in game)? 4.Can yu create multiplayer games with it?
(sorry for the spam) Oh I forgotted one question;can you create achiements/badges with it (badge is like achiement but you can unlock it unlimited times)?

I have been using Game Maker since 6.1, but I don't use it too often, especially since recent times. Almost everything you see in games is possible to make with Game Maker, such as Multiplayer, 3D, etc.
It only makes .EXE files, so you can't upload it here. The Mac version, which was released quite recently, is only a trial version until you have to pay. For the Windows version, the Pro version has multiplayer, 3d and some more additional functionality, which you have to pay for.
There are also many contests that go on in YoYogames (partners with Game Maker, I believe) in which you can win money for making games. Recently there have been contests that if you win, your game gets to have the ability to be played on the PSP.
Game Maker is really easy to learn, imo. But learning the quite simple programming language (Game Maker Language, or GML) will make lots of more possibilities open for your games.
In the Game Maker Community, there's lots of GM users that are open to help create sprites/graphics, compose music, or help with programming and the such for you.
You can't publish game maker games on Armorgames you need Flash and post a .swf file which is basically only produced in Flash when you export/publish your .fla.
Congrats of finding something that looks legit. If only it fixed the restrictions of gamemaker and optimization issues then it could be good. Highly, highly skeptical that anyone can produce a decent game that works well and is good enough to be accepted by AG.
Can we continue on with the forums without more of the same Game Maker threads? I would love to see some actual real programming going on.
