GM48 is an incredible format for getting you making games and broadly improving all your skills - music and sound creation, art, the works. It has a time constraint tight enough for scoping practice, but short enough that, if you don't make a good entry, it's still extremely valuable finishing anything. So then come back and try again in three months with a new perspective!

A game jam is not like anything else I've ever done. It's a wonderful experience in so many ways. I always find the things you can take away from it to be so important to my game making process.
When making a game, I find that I can get myself stuck on something that doesn't work and lose motivation, whereas with a game jam you have to work around it, find solutions or alternative methods and carry on because the clock is ticking. You can find so much motivation inside you that you didn't know was there when making games.
It also helps to see people play things you have created, you learn about what people like and dislike, you learn how to refine what you create and some design and coding choices which you can take on in your future projects.
A game jam lights a fire under me and reminds me why I even got in to game development, it's a thrilling, manic, crazy, enjoyable experience and I have game jams, particularly GM48, to thank for at least half of what I have created!

This was my first GM48 participation and I must say it sure was something. I usually work on small projects in a relaxed 'a few hours here and there' way for several days, but forcing myself to do it all in 48 thought me a few valuable lessons. One of the more positive lesson was how committed I can become to it purely for the reason that there is a deadline to reach. But there was also the emotional part.. Making my game was an emotional roller-coaster from the moment the theme got released till stressing out myself and my surroundings close to submission time. Overall It's been great though, and I am very pleased with the result and the feedback I'm getting.

Because of that I am now in the process taking notes on all the feedback I get and continuing the development. So if you have any feedback/rating for me on the game that is much appreciated.

GM48 2019 was our first participation to the gamemaker jam, it wasn't our first ever jam but having to compete with people who uses the same engine as yours, knowing that everyone have the same strenghts and limitations, yet all projects are differents and every game is shiny in its only way, was just an awesome experience and test for our team. We had an awesome time doing what we love, showing other developers what we were capable of in such a short time, but also looking at those talented teams make wonders in this same short time. Awesome experience, we will be participating every year!

So me and my friend made Fraug, The Mighty Prince and honestly it was the most focused on a project like this I have ever been. I got gamemaker like a couple months back and I had really only done one project and that was going nowhere. I was basically basing it all off of tutorials and stuff. But with gm(48), I honestly looked up maybe one tutorial. The crowd is awesome and I don't even care if I win. I had a great time and am proud of myself either way.

I'll be honest, developing this game was a pretty rough experience! Getting the pixel art for the black hole in the background was the most time consuming thing for me, since art really isn't my specialty. In fact, the black hole was actually supposed to be an object integrated into the gameplay, but it took so long just to draw it that I didn't have time to actually do anything with it! Also, I had more trouble using shaders than I thought I would, so I'll definitely need to work on that. Just goes to show, knowledge of EVERYTHING is important. In terms of code and gameplay development, it was tricky striking a balance between planning ahead and improvising. On one hand you need to plan for what you're going to need, and try not to code sloppily. But on the other hand you really need to hurry up and just get things done, so you have to decide carefully when it's appropriate to use a quick and dirty solution to a problem. I probably only got 7 or 8 hours of sleep the whole weekend, but it was worth it!

I wasn't all that inspired by the theme at first but this might be the most innovative game I've made in the end.

I also really appreciate how jams force you to be as productive as possible in a minimum amount of time; I don't condone crunches in the industry, but small challenges like this are good, every now and then.

working on this was grueling and fraught with setbacks. I know I wouldn't have submitted this if not for all the tutorials and all the people who lent a hand. I almost thought the universe was conspiring against me in the last 12 hours as I ran up against endless build errors and corrupted files (side note to self: get better at resolving git conflicts...) and even a power outage that threatened to disqualify me if not for peter.

I usually join Ludum Dare and other local jams, but I believe that GM48 are the ones I enjoy most.

It's a way to see what someone can do in just 48 hours with Game Maker, and the source code is usually available to mess with and to learn about.

I'm not going to lie, this was really hard. Especially because I only had 11 hours to work on it rather than 48 (personal reasons). Working with an advantage is extremely difficult, but very interesting and teaches you a lot about game development. I may of not completely finished my game, or got it where I really wanted it to be, but to me, it was a definite success.

This was my first game jam entry.

This is my first game jam ever and it was quite challenging for me to make a game in such a short time, but i feel like the experience helped me improve my game making ways, it is true that restrictions force us to be creative.

Also i have to say that i am your typical game making hobbyist that has a lot of unfinished engines lying around never to be played by anyone. This is the first time one of my games is out there for everyone to play it, i already got feedback and it feels great.

I encourage everyone to join future game jams, the experience is totally worth the effort.

Participating in GM48 is a fantastic experience! It's intense but very gratifying to come up with and develop a playable game in such a short time frame. I've learned a lot with each game I've put together for the jam, and the community is super supportive and helpful. And its fun to play everyone else's games too!

This was the first gm48 I participated in, I went in with the goal to make something playable and pretty, so I really went out of my comfort zone and started using code that I had wanted to try but never had a reason to. What I ended up with a huge skill improvement to both making art, music and advanced code.

my key point to take away from this is... get the core game mechanic working in 12 hours, then 12 hours for art and music. then use left over time for polish, polish, bug fixing, polish and polish

This was my first big game jam. I did not know what to expect from it. I was very anxious to have the theme revealed and see if i could do anything with it. Then, it was like a race. The starting pistol was shot, and the theme was revealed. My original Intention was to stay up all night working on it. While I did stay up rather late, I did not stay up all night. I quickly worked up an idea, and went with it. The first thing to expect from a jam like this: do not expect to make a whole game. Expect a few levels, at most 10. But make those levels intriguing. Do not submit your game early unless you are ABSOLUTELY sure it's ready. As a wise man once said, All work is lost due to a lack of a little more. And most Importantly, do not look at other games and say "Hmph, I can do better than that" without contributing yourself. An unfinished game will never be as good as a finished one. Everyone knows how to start making a game. Not a lot of people know how to finish one. This game was an experience to make.

Originally I was going to make a game for this jam with my cousin (Kris24 on here) but he ended up being busy...so I mostly wrote it off as a no-go. However I had an idea for a quick game from watching a youtube video about swords vs spears and ended up having about 8 spare hours to make something this weekend, so here's the result.

I had a perfect version at 7:00. Deadline gets extended 15 mins so I try to add one little thing to it. Fatal error on my submitted project with no way to fix one simple mistake that completely ruins an entire 48-hour slugfest BY MYSELF.

Probably won't be attending another.

The great thing about GM48 is that everyone's using the same platform. This makes it easy to collaborate, discuss code and help each other, especially if you join the GameMaker discord server. It really strengthens the community aspect of the game jam.

I've never participated in a game jam previously and was excited to join in with this. In the middle of tending to two children and going shopping it's been a blast!. The enjoyment of having a set target and project and cracking on to meet the deadline! definitely participate again.

I have learned so many useful skills from the GM48. It was the first jam I ever participated in, one that I have entered many times since, and its something that I look forward to participating in again.

Are you looking to create your first game? If so, this is an excellent way to get that done in two days or less. Remember, nothing needs to be perfect in a game jam, it need only be good enough. Have fun and good luck!

GM48's game jams are pretty challenging, as there are a lot of awesome and talented artists, designers and coders who participate in them.

As for a one-man-army (solo developer), GM48 happens in two phases.

The first phase feels like game-design poker. It's all about making choices, about trying to stay in the balance between "What I want to do" and "What I can do in 48 hours" while picking features that fulfill the idea of the game the most.

The second phase is actually a trial. It's all about applying all acquired experience of the GM:S, inventing solutions to new problems and hacking things through while sustaining time and real-life.

Altogether, that's a great opportunity to experiment with a game design, due to the new theme each round and fast and honest feedback.

Wanna design game from topic to features, or in opposite way? Wanna express your current mood, or practice in designing core loops, or to explore new grounds and combine hardly fitting features?

It's all possible, and all welcome. And when you're ready, there's next level for you - competing for the first place in ratings, applying everything you've learned.

It's been a year since my first jam. I really started practicing about 6 months ago, wanting to get more than the bottom 5 placements. I've learned so much about completing a project from doing these jams. I am much better with gamemaker and gml now, but that's not my most important lesson. Truly my biggest improvement in the last year is my organization not my coding. I've learned to plan out my day, hour by hour. I have the discipline to actually sit at my computer and program for hours on end without getting distracted or too tired. I've learned what I can and can't do in 48 hours.

This was my first game jam also my first time coding in like 2 years in GML, so it was a struggle (but a fun one). It was certainly frustrating at times especially when you forget a specific function that you need to use.

I learned that the shit I'm learning at school atm actually has some meaning to it seeing as we used some of the theory in our game.

But the best part was people giving feedback on a game that I made, amazing feeling. Obviously playing other peoples games was also fun but nothing compares to seeing others play your game. Also i currently hold the highscore so get good.

Thank you for reading,

As draining and as tiring hacking away at a game for 48 hours is, I'm super glad I participated in my first GM48. It was a very rewarding and exciting experience and I hope I will have the chance to do many more of these in the future!

Trying to make a game in 48 hours proves one main thing, and that is how short 48 hours really is. Fun, Stressful and Brain-Numbing is what best describes the feeling that engulfs you throughout the competition.

Fairy Tale

I ended up wasting a lot of time on the first day due to some nasty collision bugs and not being able to get my surface drawing to show up.

On the second day I got into a better groove, but didn't manage to get all the game-play features in there that I wanted. It was a struggle between polishing what I had VS adding more features.

I decided on polishing and making sure I had a fully working game before adding more stuff.

In the end I'm pretty happy with the game, even though it's not very long. And I had a good time making it. :)

Great experience overall! The discord was incredible. There were people always willing to help with issues, and it was great to share in some of the communal fun/stress of the event :)

The last 7 hours were intense. I had a great idea that I knew I could execute on if I really pushed it. Even with a few hiccups with GMS2 (a room resource was corrupted and couldn't save, and then eventually deleted itself) I ended up being able to submit with about ~25 minutes left

There were lots of moments that I wished I would have teamed up with somebody. I'm glad I've had the lone experience. I think I'll seek out a team to jam with for the next time I'm able to do one of these!

Thanks again for a great event!

Afterthought: https://www.twitch.tv/seltzyy played my game on stream shortly after the jam ended. I was so nervous that things would crash or go wrong (and maybe they have for some other users) but it was SO MUCH FUN listening to this streamer react to my game live. It was a really cool experience!

This jam is one of the best to learn, because it is focused on a single engine. It is very well organized, the community here is helpful and there are participants of all skills, so, you can talk about your questions with anyone. I improved a lot by developing, getting feedback and playing games from this jam. If you are a Game Maker Studio developer (or aspiring to be) you should participate GM48 at least once.

Hello, my name is Tiago, when I heard that there was this Jam I told myself that if I were to participate I would have to show a type of game that would awaken the nostalgia of the games of the past with elements of the present day, during the development of the game I was also developing the little songs with elements of pop music and rip hop, although I had a few days I was happy with the result, I'm having fun with it all, a kiss from Brazil to all!

At the time of writing, I have participated in 7 gm(48) game jams - the 4 latest ones together with my girlfriend. It is a fantastic game jam which is why I keep returning to it. Game jams in general are great ways to play around with new ideas and push for some creativity, and gm(48) has build some solid frames around the whole experience, making both newcomers to jamming (like I once was) as well as avid jammers feel welcome. It is my go-to jam, that's for sure, and the jam I recommend for all GameMaker newcomers.

The GM48 is the most fun I've had programming and spriting. It's a great way to give yourself the push to complete a project. In the two jams I've participated in, I've learnt quite a bit, such as the important areas that planning ahead can effect when coding and picking up small and useful bits of knowledge that I may have not learned till much later. It's also given me some great ideas for projects I want to now work on.

Always a joy to go through and see what other people have made.

I recommend anyone who is interested gives it a shot.

This was my first game jam after several years of using game maker as a hobbyist. The 48 hour timeline is daunting and almost immediately after submission I thought of about a dozen 'no-brainer' changes I could of made. Even lowering the ladder climb speed would have made it much better. Oh well, the feeling that I could have done better makes me excited for the next one!

gm(48) is an awesome program run by awesome people. I had an awesome time with the 27th gm(48), even if I wasn't satisfied with my game.

Game jams like this don't only teach you new skills about new game-making skills and techniques, but they also teach you how to create a finished product, a skill which many (especially I) could always use to be more proficient in.

You'll learn more from gm(48) than you will from any other game-making experience.

SO making this went about how I expected. I started by composing some music, then went hard into gameplay, and then diversified the art. The ONE thing I didn't predict was having to record those gun sound effects with my mouth, as the original ones were disqualifiers.

Hilarious tme making various souds 10/10 would do again

As I have just finished my 3rd Jam, I thought'd I'd like to discuss what GM48 is to me.

GM48 isn't about the winning, it's not about the place you get. It's a learning experience. You can be completely new to GM, or have years of experience. Either way this jam will really help you. There is always something to be learned in Game maker, from simple things like bug fixing, to harder like organisation and time management.

Whatever you do, don't get put down by the other developers better than you, or by your rating, low or high. Focus on what you've achieved, and what you've taken for the jam. Read through the feedback and be open to suggestions, take them as notes for next time.

However good you are at game maker, GM48 will help you learn more.

This was my second time participating on a Game Jam and it was also my second game release. But after about 20 hours I almost gave up since the game was too similar to my other game "Red's Colloseum". But then i changed the Genre from a Top-Down Shooter to a Platformer and that was a good decision.

I made a game about getting to the goal as fast as possible, while also avoiding traps. The levels itself are not easy, but also not too hard. The real challenge comes if you want to rush through a course. And so Momentum Rush was born.

This Game Jam was really fun, especially the second half and I learned that I should try differend things.

Well I've been at this for a while now.

I've been making games for years, I started back in middle school. and Even after all this time I still Enjoy it.

GM48 is like a (Timed) Playground to develop games in. the first one was great. my second one went much easier than the first. and my third I went all out in.

And Still find myself counting the days to take another stab at it.

Its Great to just take a few days to see what you can do. and the feedback is always a welcome bonus to it.

I see myself doing this again, And you all should give it a shot too!

the game was a real fun experience we at P.E.N.I.S are good friends and actually quite enthusiast of the game making, we decided to make this kind of game and not the platformer most people are making(and we concidered to make) because we wanted to have a great first time on GM48 and the expierience was better than expected and i really hope the team gets together again next time, even if we get last place it's all been very good fun!

My aim was to make this project with some more polished art and intention to make more interesting "malfunctions." Such malfunctions I wanted to make was to have limited view, reverse movement controls, bullets recoiling the ship, and more. There was also some desire to add in a few bosses into this game, but due to both the time limit and level of skill I have with GMS2 I tried not to overscope.

While this was not my first time making a SHMUP, I feel I took a bigger step in my skill in game jams with how much better this one turned out. The addition of also using more than one sound effects also helped (credit to site Bfxr for the sound effects for this game). The artwork in this game was all done my hand through GMS2's image editor and Piskel. Fonts were found in cooltext.com.

Overall, this was a wild ride for me personally.

I've done this a couple times now, and each time is more fun than the last. It's cool seeing how I've improved since I started, and overall participating has been a great deal of fun!

GM48 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.

The GM48 is always a great opportunity to flex your design muscles, get out of your comfort zone, and try something new.

It is a creative challenge backed by a wonderful community and an incredible infrastructure. No matter how good or bad your game is, you will find constructive support and the ability to look back and build from your strengths and weaknesses.

I strongly recommend participation for new developers trying to gain experience, seasoned veterans looking for a fresh perspective, and everybody in between.

Game Jams are a shotgun blast of experience in game development from planning through to publishing. They won't teach you everything but they're great practice in a lot of things that are otherwise impossible to really practice.

The GameMaker community is full of so many wonderful and helpful people. The GM48 and this very website is a testament to that constructive and enthusiastic spirit.

This jam is a blast. It's a lot of fun to see your finished game, and you learn a lot about the development process in the meantime!

I always tend to have fun when jam season hits. Its a great chance to sit back and relax without having to stop programming or writing music or whatever. Creative freedom with minimal restrictions. It helps that GM48 is run by people who know what they're doing!

It was a gloomy theme for me, and looking back it was fun to make, especially the voice stuff! :D

I found it pretty hard coming up with an idea in the beginning of the jam, but as soon as my team mate had arrived we quickly figured out what it should be about. I learned a few new, very useful things, e.g. path finding, of which will certainly have future use. :) Overall, had a great time. I'm getting better at time managing, and coding in general thanks to these jams.

GM48 was difficult but rewarding. Two days don't seem as much time but many things can be made in this timespan.

I've participated in 3 gm48 challenges so far, and everytime I continue to be impressed. My partner Ian is a wizard in GameMaker and I love seeing him make our creation's come to life! 10/10 will continue to participate every quarter.

It's always a challenge to create something in such a short time but one of the most useful aspects of the game jam is the feedback. Often the feedback will highlight something positive or areas of improvement which gives you direction and snaps you out of the bubble you are in.

Team

My son, Elijah (16) did all the animation. My daughter, Jasmine (12) wrote the song, recorded it and put it in the game all during the JAM. I'm the coder

Planning

We surprisingly came up with the concept of the game in the first 15 minutes of the JAM.

Work Hours

I started off coding for 15 straight hours. I slept then woke up and did 19 more hours. I slept a final time and woke up with only 4 and a half hours left.

Problems

Elijah draws using a drawing tablet and pen. He uses flash The problem with Flash is how difficult it was to import the frames into Gamemaker. He would send me about 12 sub images and I would have to add each one as an individual sprite and then open the sprite and copy five at a time and then open the actual sprite and past them. When I was done he would get on and re position them. Insane -- not efficient at all. We finished with 12 minutes left and I found a bug in the code after it was too late to resubmit. I had an absolutely awesome experience!!

I've learned a lot during GM48!

The experience has been incredibly fun and I'll definitely be joining more game jams in the future. Going through all the other entries is just as fun as making our game was!

This jam was the most positive jam experience I've ever had. That being said, it's the most work I've ever done in a 48 hour jam making two full tracks and designing our levels, but our team worked great together and pushed ourselves to make a great game. The community has been supportive and constructive, which I always appreciate. It's so awesome seeing the games people made. I'll definitely be part of another gm48 in the future!

It was interesting. I was able to develop the game for the first time in less than 48 hours. I liked my idea and I think that someday I'll finish this game to the end. It's a pity that I did not have time to make a sound and a better graphics for the game. But it's okay. Someday I'll learn to do it even faster. Thanks for this jam. Now I realized that developing games is fun and interesting.

I got called in to make SFX because the musician originally on the team didn't want to do it. I spent 30 minutes in bfxr and with my sound libraries making some effects. 10/10 fun experience
