It was my very first coding experience and I'm glad I stuck with it. “Everything I know about programming I learned thanks to GameMaker. “GameMaker basically taught me how to make games.”

It was the perfect stepping stone for me to go from knowing nothing to feeling like I am an experienced games programmer.” “Using GameMaker's in-built tools let me understand the role they play in game development and gave me the foundations I needed to go on to recreate any of them for myself in larger contexts.

“GameMaker's systems were easy enough to approach as a novice and are now so second-nature to me that I'm comfortable tackling larger-scale problems that I wouldn't have dreamt of four years ago.” With GameMaker, making games is not only simple, but also fun.” “It's easy to pick up and start learning. I still like GameMaker today, as a full time developer, just because it has all the tools I need to make the games.” “I’m impressed with how well GameMaker scales when you start out - from knowing nothing to getting familiar with it.
