GameMaker Brings Game Devs Together in Delhi
On June 1st, GameMaker hosted its inaugural official meetup in Delhi, marking a significant step towards fostering a strong GameMaker community in the country. GameDev.in, a passionate volunteer-run community for Indian game creators, proudly partnered with GameMaker to make this event a reality.
Key Highlights from the GameMaker Meetup
The meetup kicked off with an insightful presentation by Gurpreet, GameMaker’s representative from India. Gurpreet shed light on the power and potential of GameMaker, particularly emphasizing its plans to support Indian developers. This meetup served as a launchpad for future initiatives, with promises of more workshops and events to empower aspiring game creators.
A Game Engine for Everyone
What exactly is GameMaker? It’s a game engine that grants you the ability to craft cross-platform games. Whether you prefer a visual drag-and-drop approach or diving into scripting with GameMaker Language, this engine caters to all skill levels. Primarily designed for creating stunning 2D games, GameMaker offers a user-friendly platform to kickstart your game development journey.
In recent times, games like Fishbowl, built with GameMaker, are a good showcase of the engine’s capabilities as utilized by the Indian developer community. Developed by our dear friends at imissmyfriends.studio, Fishbowl is a warm and cozy story about living in isolation, nurturing friendships and understanding grief.
