Digital Gaming Hot Labs #8
My apologises for posting so late about the next Digital Gaming Hot Lab. I have been completely distracted by work, SA Developer and my first home PC.
Anyways, on with the show, and for February I’m giving a talk introducing Game Maker and exposing to you the basics to create a game.
I have been convinced by Danny Day and other leaders in the local game development community to focus this year on Game Maker. It makes sense for a couple of reasons:
A) It requires minimal coding and coding experience.
B) It is being used widely by an established gaming community (namely NAG’s Game.Dev)
C) It is a powerful in its own right and can be used to create completed games (my main objective)
