The first version of the app in APK form is attached to this post.

How is it going? I'll get gamemaker to play when you're done

I've been working on more sprites and random planet generation, so there is a little bit of progress being made.

Since the topic of using Scratch and GameMaker came up on The Red Fly thread, I decided to make a dedicated thread about it.

So, what do you think of these tools? Are they a good thing to learn as an intro to programming/gamedev? Do they have any merit outside of just learning/education? How do you use them?

I honestly thought only my school used GameMaker... I never got it. I always preferred TI BASIC.

I really like to use it. What does your school do with Gamemaker?

Looking nice!
What language are you using for it?

Just GameMaker.

This is a project I've been planning for a long time, and finally started a couple of days ago.

The Red Fly is a 2D space exploration game with some sandbox elements. Planets and the universe are randomly generated.

There will be 3 main modes for playing the game:
-On planets
-In the player's ship
-The map

Planets will be able to be explored and mined for materials. Planets will possibly contain rogue aliens to fight and structures to loot.

The player's ship is the most modifiable of the 3 modes. Structures can be built, placed, and moved, and resources, tools, and weapons can be crafted.

The map is where the ship can be moved and flown to planets, and other ships can be fought.

None of this is actually implemented yet though

Here's a screenshot of the first planet interface, which is very far from complete:



More updates hopefully coming soon!

I have two corgis here is one of them. (I don't have a handy picture of the other atm.)
