Game Maker- By YOYO Games

Game Maker is a game developer that can be both utilized for beginners and experienced game developers.  It also allows for cross-platform games. It is designed to be 80% faster than regular game coding. It has drag and drop features which will auto generate code for users, or it allows users to program in Game Maker Language (GML).  GML is a scripting language specially designed for Game Maker.  Game Maker also has a neat asset of built in libraries.  These libraries offer actions that most games have.  You can also make your own libraries in the Library builder.

Game Maker is available in many different versions which offer many different features.  They have a free version called Studio so anyone can try out their product.  They also have Standard version for $49.99, a Professional version for $99.99, and a Master Collection version for $799.99.  If you are interested in downloading any of these versions they are available at: http://www.yoyogames.com/studio.

The newest version of Game Maker Studio is 1.2.  This offers the capability to easily build different cross-platform games.  It also has the capability of a new Shader which gives games an upgraded and more realistic look.  It also gives you access to YoYo Complier which lets programs run 100 time faster!  It is also just an overall upgrade which has many improvements compared to other versions. Check out the video below which shows how the Shader works.  It offers many different kinds of shades and displays the different effects it can give a game!
