At first I wasn&#8217;t sure what to expect, I knew there would be many problems to solve, but\u00a0I thought it would take a lot more work\u00a0to figure it out than it actually did. Also unexpected was that most of the\u00a0problems I encountered were specific to each website I ported to (Itch.io and Newgrounds). Overall it was an easy experience thanks to Gamemaker and Humble Bundle. If you&#8217;re\u00a0familiar with Gamemaker, but haven&#8217;t coughed up the dough to buy those expensive modules, now is a great time! Alternatively, if you&#8217;re new or newer to game dev, Gamemaker is a great place to start. Especially for people like me who hate most programming languages. You can get Gamemaker Pro, plus modules(HTML5, IOS, Android,Windows UWP), plus several games w\/source code for only $15! If you are even only mildly interested in Gamemaker as your main engine, I suggest you take this deal! This is seriously a great act of generosity from YoYo games and Humble Bundle. In addition, Shaun Spalding has created a list of very good 3rd party tutorials for Gamemaker to help all the new people. I recommend the one by Tom Francis to start if you&#8217;re new to programming.<\/p>\n <p>Take advantage of it HERE<\/p>\n <p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.humblebundle.com\/gamemaker-bundle\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.humblebundle.com\/gamemaker-bundle<\/a><\/p>\n <p>Edit: <strong>Bundle is Over<\/strong>. When I first wrote this the bundle still had like 4\u00a0days left.\u00a0Not sure if this is normal but it took almost 7 days for my post to get published. As for the other part of my post, game is still running HTML<\/p>","time":"September 21st, 2016 1:21 pm","title":"Grow Now on the Web"}
