Was Sie lernen werden

This specialization is intended for aspiring game developers who want to learn how to develop games using GameMaker. GameMaker lets us develop games using both a visual programming (drag and drop) approach and a scripting (writing code) approach. Throughout the four courses in the specialization, you'll learn how to use both of those approaches to develop GameMaker games.

Übungsprojekt

Each of the courses includes 10-15 exercises designed to teach you small concepts in GameMaker. Each course also has a Quest at the end so you can practice what you’ve learned in a small game you develop. I’ll have set of requirements for your Quest game to meet, but the game itself will be up to you.

Getting Started with GameMaker

KURS 1, 8 Stunden

Was Sie lernen werden

This course is all about starting to learn how to develop video games using GameMaker on Windows or Mac. Why use GameMaker instead of using C# and Unity or C++ and Unreal*? Learning to develop games with GameMaker is much easier than learning to program in C# or C++ AND learning Unity or Unreal. If you just want to start learning how to develop games in a more "gentle" way, this is a great starting point.

This course doesn't assume you have any game development experience. Don't worry if you've never developed games before; we'll start at the very beginning and start building your game development skills from scratch. Throughout the course you'll develop core GameMaker skills to help you develop games. Module 1: Learn about sprites and sprite strips Module 2: Learn how to implement functionality using events, actions, and code Module 3: Learn how to add sound effects and implement NPC movement Module 4: Learn how to add randomness to your games * I do have Coursera Specializations called C# Programming for Unity Game Development and C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development for those more advanced topics.

Moving, Shooting, and Debugging in GameMaker

KURS 2, 11 Stunden

Was Sie lernen werden

This course is the second course in the specialization about learning how to develop video games using GameMaker on Windows or Mac. Why use GameMaker instead of using C# and Unity or C++ and Unreal*? Learning to develop games with GameMaker is much easier than learning to program in C# or C++ AND learning Unity or Unreal. If you just want to continue learning how to develop games in a more "gentle" way, this is a great starting point.

This course assumes you have the prerequisite knowledge from the previous course in the specialization. You should make sure you have that knowledge, either by taking that previous course or from personal experience, before tackling this course. Throughout this course you'll continue building your foundational GameMaker knowledge by exploring more GameMaker and game development topics. Module 1: Learn how to implement player and movement and learn about collision masks Module 2: Learn how to shoot projectiles and control firing rate Module 3: Learn how to debug both Visual games and Code games Module 4: Learn how to add health to your games * I do have Coursera Specializations called C# Programming for Unity Game Development and C++ Programming for Unreal Game Development for those more advanced topics.

None! I'll teach you how to develop games using GameMaker assuming you've never programmed or developed games before.

Yes, you need to work your way through the courses in order. That's because each course builds on the skills you've already developed in the previous course(s).
