I think this topic should go here.

Has anybody heard of Locomalito? From what I've seen no. This guy has made amazing games with game maker but he is practically unknown here.
He's made stuff like Hydorah which is an amazing shmup, 8 Bit killer which was pretty cool and Viriax. Hell, there's even a game that you can play with the 3d glasses Here

He may not be on the gmcg, but it's still worth a good mention. These are the kinds of examples people should mention when they talk about shmups or platformers etc.

Does anybody else know any similar cases like this?

I dont think talent makes alot of sense on OR not on the forum when you dont promote it right. I mean I've seen quality games with 0 replies on this forum, that might also have to do with the dying
forum, but I still think its kindof pathetic.

I have played one of those games: 8 bit killer. It was pretty fun, not really my thing, but nicely made. Viriax looks boring to me, and Hydorah not my game.
Still....looks like quality stuff!

Sorry mate but don't see the point of this topic. OK that guy made really nice games...so?! I mean if he doesn't want to come here it's up to him..You don't need to make a topic to mention his work. We won't build a statue for his games or something like that and one more thing...belive me..out there...are games made in GM that are MORE GREATER than this guy's projects.

I personally don't think there is anything wrong with mentioning games made with GM on here, mainly because I am interested in seeing what can actually be made with GM.

Coincidentally, is there a list of games authored with GM anywhere, either here (GMC) or elsewhere?

Many authors do not mention that their games are made in GM, so it might not be the easiest list of games to make but would be interesting to read through.

I liked Locomalito's Abbaye Des Morts, mainly because I grew up with the Sinclair Spectrum, and Abbaye captures the Speccy-feel just perfectly.

Locomalito is a fantastic game developer. His games are not innovative or state of the art but that's his intention. He's an old school gamer with a passion and the amount of quality he puts into his games really shines. Follow him on Twitter if you'd like to chat with him or see what he's working on! Here is his Twitter.

Another awesome new game made with GM is Gunpoint. Awesome looking game by Tom Francis.

Edit: The other guys in this thread seem to suffer from a bit of jealousy and maybe even a bit of "No one noticed my game". Don't let them ruin your thread. If a mod says it's not appropriate then so be it. I imagine Yoyo themselves would love to know there is another quality developer out there using their software.

Terry Cavanaugh has used GM quite a bit as well. He made VVVVVV with GM. I think he ended up re-writing it in C++ for one reason or another but it began with GM. Check his site out, some games if not most were made with GM.

He made VVVVVV in Adobe Flash, then rewrote it to C++. I don't think GM was involved in VVVVVV's development at all...

I thought I was certain but, after doing a bit of searching ... you're right! I'm not sure why I thought I read that somewhere and I never bothered to back it up. My apologies, previous post edited! Thanks for the info +1

You may be thinking of spelunky, which is getting rewritten/sequel being made for XBLA

[Erik Leppen]

There will always be GM games we will never even know are GM games.

I'm fairly certain that Windows was created with Game Maker.

I'm pretty sure you mean Linux, right?

Yeah I'm pretty sure it was Linux CaptainLepidus. I remember reading something about it somewhere.

Linux was made with GM, but it used a DLL so I don't think that counts. Windows was pure-GML as far as I know.

Guys..stop it..hehe:))seriously maybe someone belives it..GameMaker was made in GM:D:))this is from where it started.

[Nocturne]

Okay, less mickey taking guys! Why not use this topic to introduce the GM games that no-one on the GMC knows about? Here´s one of the most AMAZING GameMaker games ever made...

Woah, woah, shouldn't we keep this topic kid-friendly?

We should. That's why Nocturne banned all the other trolls.

@nocturne Oh yeah! I remember that. Very fun.

[jakobs98]

Ugh... Okay, Nocturne, just for you.
[/#gmc group trolling]

Anyway, I believe Dustforce was made with GM. At least in the earlier parts. Now it's up on steam. I tried it once in a really early state.

The prototype of Dustforce was made in GM. The full version that you see on Steam was made from scratch.

[varuks]

Was Treasure ADventure made with GM? I think I saw the creator on tigsource once and he was like... talking about game maker...

[Swifty]

Although not completed The Archer has been a very interesting project to follow, which is currently being developed in Game Maker.

@Nocturne - Stealth Bastard look amazing, I've just downloaded about to load it up and give it a play!

@jakobs98 - Dustforce looks great too, I love that art style and the gameplay looks very fun. I'll have to look it up.

Has anyone here played Unshadowed? It's a pretty old game (2004 or so) but it's pretty good and has gone virtually unnoticed. The only link to it I know of is on GMG which is down atm though
Edit: here it is Link
