If you want actual 3D with shapes other than rectangles, it is the worst possible choice. If you want 2D, it is a very good choice. From what I've seen GMS has some good examples/tutorials that you go through step by step in the editor itself.

GMS is no longer the buggy piece of poo poo it was a year ago, nowadays we have no one to blame but ourselves when something goes wrong.

If I recall correctly, there is a free demo version you can check out, it has a handful of features locked and maybe some watermark when you boot your games but you can use it for as long as you want.

They changed the structure of what costs money, so now you can get the "Studio" version and export games for free. As a Klik n' Play and Games Factory connoisseur, it definitely has a tool set that allows people who aren't that familiar with game making to mess around and have fun. It's worth checking out if you want to experiment with making 2d games now that exporting is free for everyone.

Hey ToGsters, how are you guys liking Game Maker? A couple of friends and I are considering trying our hands at making some game's this spring/summer, and I was wondering if you thought it'd be a good place to start learning. I know you guys mostly got started with RPG Maker, but how's GMS treating you?
It used to be 'good to learn game making with but atrocious for any serious project'. Nowadays though, it's very good for 2D games. It's easy to learn, can have high performance, and is cross-compatible to every platform known to man.

It has some issues that we're having some trouble with for B2 (that i'm right now working on fixing), but the up-side is it is very actively developed, updates come out once or twice per month. So if you have a serious issue, you can talk directly to the developers to get it fixed.

They take a while to do the editing and uploading to youtube, but it will be there eventually. Watch this space: https://www.youtube.com/user/SpeedDemosArchiveSDA/videos

On the topic of Chef music, I love the titles of songs in the music pack. I've been using baseballgrandpa666 as a username on IRC since the pack was released.

DrManiac posted:

According to Twitter, Barkley: Shut Up and Jam 2 (the actual console game sequel) is apocryphal, so possibly no.

Perhaps Barkley 3 will feature an alternate universe where nothing went horribly wrong and Shut Up and Jam 2 and Space Jam 2 are implied to have happened.

You are the first crack in the sheer face of god. From you it will spread.
I watched Big Trouble in Little China for the first time in years the other day. My wife hadn't seen it before and was commenting on how strange it is. "Is this a Kung Fu movie, a fantasy, or a comedy? This movie doesn't know what it is," she said. I told her the movie was basically Barkley 1, which she has played, but replace B-Ball with Chinese mythology. Then she settled down and loved the movie.

Chef Boyardee: were you as influenced by Big Trouble as I am assuming you were? I'm holding out hope that Kurt Russell can make an appearance in Barkley 2.

It should be noted that the free version has some limitations. Not that it isn't very easy to make what you can and pay if and when you hit that wall, those limitations aren't particularly strict.

Thankfully, the version without those limitations is also free as long as you get it in the next week or so!

Q4 2014 is a pretty good estimation right now, and I think that's also what the ToG sludge overlords are saying.

Price is probably going to be something like 10$, at least that is the pre-order price on the ToG site.
