Book Description
The Game Makers Apprentice shows you how to create nine
exciting games using the wildly popular Game Maker game creation tool. This
book covers a range of genres, including action, adventure, and puzzle games
complete with professional quality sound effects and visuals. It discusses game
design theory and features practical examples of how this can be applied to
making games that are more fun to play.
Game Maker allows games to be created using a simple
drag-and-drop interface, so you don’t need to have any prior coding experience.
It includes an optional programming language for adding advanced features to
your games, when you feel ready to do so. You can obtain more information by
visiting book.gamemaker.nl.
The authors include the creator of the Game Maker tool and a
former professional game programmer, so you’ll glean understanding from their
expertise. The book also includes a DVD containing Game Maker software and all
of the game projects that are created in the book—plus a host of
professional-quality graphics and sound effects that you can use in your own
games.
