I’ve just registered with this board, because I kind of tested the Game Develop sofware and I must admit; I’m pretty impressed with it.
It might seem strange that after testing/using programs like “Yo-Yo Game Maker”, “Unity 3D”, “SSE”,“Open Sim”, etc., I’m really willing to give Game Develop a serious spin.
My reason for this is because of the fact that some things are just made way easy within Game Develop, giving me time to focus on what I like best: Creating Content for my small ideas.
I’m no programmer or code-jockey. Although I do have some basic understanding of these subjects; it’s not my main point of interest. My main interest goes to, I think people would call it like that, gameplay. (What would be nice and interesting for a player; How to achieve this is another thing)
Well anyway, that’s just a bit about me, myself and I.
I didn’t really hear about Game Develop, to be honest. I just kind of ran in to it. I did a thorough search on the internet for any “new” game SDK’s and that’s how I discovered Game Develop.
The features which are presented on the main page made me choose this program. I mean; there’re some really nice features. For instance; the networking stuff. Amazing and so easy to use. Instead of heaving to code every tit bit of action it’s all, sort of, automated.
For instance:
I’ve been working on a small multiplayer game in Game Maker for quiet a while. The hard bit was the network coding, because I had to declare any and every value to a specific array (or how you call that in network memory) It did work, but was a pain in the *rse, because it took precious time out of actually creating content for the small game.
Hmm, I seem to be loosing myself in stories…,again.
Well, anayway, that’s how I discovered Game Develop.
