Editor’s Note: While the proper name for this is GameMaker: Studio, we will be referring to it differently for SEO purposes.
Yet another simple creation tool is coming to the market. YoYo Games, a UK-based mobile developer, will be releasing it at the Game Developer Conference in San Francisco. GameMaker Studio will feature a simple UI made for even novice developers.
What can GameMaker Studio do for me as a developer?
Yoyo games has been releasing various developer tools for years upon years. This is going to be their most robust version yet. You may be interested in just a few of the features of this version:
- Easy to use UI with drag-and-drop features.
- Internal image, level and code editing tools.
- Advanced scripting options for more talented programmers.
- One-click compiling feature that can automatically translate your code into a form suitable for iOS, Android and many more.
Where can I see GameMaker Studio in action first?
As we mentioned earlier, there is going to be a huge conference in San Francisco. It will be running between March 5th and 9th of 2012. While this is a huge event worth going to just to see it, you do not have much time left. These events can actually make your career if you meet the right people. GameMaker Studio will be one of many products featured at the YoYo games booth.
