Support the GameMaker community through opportunity to learn
With 2543 participants to date, the gm(48) game jam has for over 8 years been instrumental in enabling developers to become better at game design, game development and GameMaker Studio 2.
5Joining gm(48) has been a great experience.
I think Simon Milfred and I make a robust team and we have so much fun.
Will do it again!
5I hear many game maker devs talking about gm48 so I decided to try it out myself and it was really fun it pushed me to my limits and made me create new techniques
5Although making two games instead of one wasn't ideal, it was a lot of fun to see how quickly I could create two small prototypes and made for a great challenge.
It's nice to hang out with other game makers while you're all frantically coding and making content as fast as you can!
5Phew! What a ride gm(48) is! I certaintly learned a ton from the jam, and it's inspired a game idea for me!
If you want be a better game developer in general, and spark some game ideas in your head, gm(48) is the place for you!
5GM48 is not just a jam it is a fun way to test our knowledge.It makes us think in different ways to come up with good ideas.I think everyone should try it.While I was creating Static I learned a lot about pixel art and my weaknesses in game development.I really enjoyed it.
5The Jam was a lot of fun! One tip I can give to future participants: Nail down what you want to do as quickly as possible! If you don't, it might come around later and bring unwanted trouble!
5No other game jam offers an opportunity to test your skills and learn with a variety of unique themes as much as the GM(48) does. I'd highly recommend it to everyone, from beginners to professionals.
5It was fun to make a game about a kid shooting down an internet company under 48 hours
5This platform is great for seeing what is possible in 48 hours. Making Color Pickers help point out some issues I run into when making games.
5Was very fun and learned a lot about common mistakes I make
5This is a great game jam. I joined this game jam when i was only 2 weeks into coding, and i enjoyed every second.
5The GM48 is the perfect way for me to rekindle my love for game making. Every time I participate I can see a gradual improvement in my abilities and quality of my games.
