![Update V2022.11 - Functional content [GameMaker] @1upIndie](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/V2PsSz2Q5aY/maxresdefault.jpg)
Uploaded November 2022 | Updated September 2026, 9 hours ago
The newest patch V2022.11 comes with some good quality updates for strings and arrays plus new sound filters and some new vfx filters.
This update is more a technical one, where we get new ways to use strings and arrays with new functionality. The idea is to insert your own functions into GameMaker's new array functions/scripts for sorting or manipulating values. There are also more new ways to change/manipulate strings also, which is now more efficient to chain/concatenate. The new sounds effects are for me a new field, so I leave that to more experienced users. Binary literals are in a nutshell other ways to write, which will be most like only used to write long numbers visually easier. And last but not least we got new filters to play around with. These appear to be more niche, but time will tell what the community does with them.
Tldr:
- array and string functions make a programmers life more easy
- new niche filters
- new sound filter system

The newest patch V2022.6 comes with some good quality updates, new fx effects and the big fish, the feather feature.
The update looks lightweight on the outside, but feather is a great new feature for us coders/developers to help out in code, show instantly informations about code/assets, can correct code and can be customized even further (name spaces, etc.). All in all, a solid addition to the ide which is much apprecitated.

This basics video tutorial shows you what direction and speed are actually when you see in under the hood in GameMaker.
A very convenient and fast way is to use for beginner the internal speed and direction value. Once set, the instance moves by itself and you have no complicated system that it actually is. Here we take a peek inside GameMaker and see how vectors define every video game engines movement from behind the scenes. All this is mathematics but neatly packed in speed and direction for us developers. Thats it!

Breakout was a game that was basic but fun to play. It is listed as a video game but technically you would need a pc with a cpu to run software on to call that a video game made in 1976 by Steve Wozniak.

This epic video tutorial shows you a working example how to create a procedual level map generation on the fly in GameMaker.
This video is only a preview (video incoming) of the coding part to show what can be done in GameMaker or any other ide. Since this is a very advanced topic you need to have a good understanding of basics and advanced concepts. So arrays, loops, accessor are a common thing for you. The following video will be going into the coding part.
How it works:
The idea is in principle quite easy. You have at start a cell of your map that has 4 branches in each direction. These branches are being created by checking first if the new neigbour cell is free. Then it needs to assing a sprite to which has two exits/openings (one openeing connecting to the current location and one 2 steps ahead). To determin if this sprite can be set for the new cell you need to check another step ahead if on the openening (so two steps ahead) if this spot is also free. If not this cell is an endpoint of this branch.
The second part is the transition of of the map into level structure with a player and enemies. This is shown in the video but will be not part of the upcoming video (because I dont want to make this already long and complex video even longer). Patreon supportes will have the project file of course with the top down merger available.

This enemy ai video tutorial shows you how to make an enemy that throws in an parabollic arc grenades in GameMaker Studio.
The idea is quite simple. You need to setup the grenades with a direction upwards plus set some speed. To create the arc movement you need a secondary force downwards which is gravtiy. You can optinally make the grenades bounce by setting the a wall collision with move_bounce_solid and give the grenade a bit of friction to reduce its overall speed values, so that the bounce looks realistic. Thats it!

Super Demon Survivors is a homage to time survival reverse bullet hells, set in a familiar world pitting multiple characters against hordes of demons and monsters in a multistage free for all.
Can you outlast wave after wave of increasingly difficult, minimalistic gameplay using an array different weapons and power ups?
Where you like the genre or you want to be part of the active community, you will have direct influence on how the game will be done via comments below or directly with me and my community on my discord server.
The game is made by me and Gutpunch studios to create a game that is in the spirit of the good old games but with modern standards.

// content of this video:
1. We are in need of 1 splash screen artists. So if you are professional enough and feel you can do this, please contact me on my discord channel, so we can see if we can work together.
2. The game has been given the green light on Steam, so we can start making the page and upload our game there. Here you my dear community come in. Help your fellow devloper 1up Indie out and wish list (no need to buy it though) the game once I give send a message through my channel.
3. I want to personally thank my playtesters! You guys gave me good idea and valuable feedback that made it in the current version of Super Demon Survivors. For that, once again a big thank you!
4. We go tons of new systems and advanced the current ones. So there will be more optional content to discover and the new rune system will give you a equippable permanent upgrade to your champions.

![Constructor - The king of data [GameMaker | Advanced]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/WpXfj5hpZeI/mqdefault.jpg "Constructor - The king of data [GameMaker | Advanced]
This advanced video tutorial shows you how to use efficient data with constructors in GameMaker.
Image you have an inventory with hundreds of entries and each entry has values like name, costs, icon image etc. . Creating for each entry one variable per value even with arrays is not an good way to handle that task. So what I think is one efficient way is to create structs via constructor and store each entry into one array. By that you have only one index that defines which item you want values from. Thats it!

![Roadmap and starter project file [#0 Remake Undertale in GameMaker ]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/Wz625xrRQMQ/mqdefault.jpg "Roadmap and starter project file [#0 Remake Undertale in GameMaker ]
This is the 2nd video (But since it is only a preview and roadmap I started at 0) in a short series of remaking the battle system which you see in Undertale in GameMaker.
What is Undertale?
Undertale is a video game made also in GameMaker by Toby Fox where
you play as a child that is being trapped in an unknown world and your job in this linear story is to progress. The difference is that you can genocide monsters, be neutral or even befriend them. This throws the concept of enemies being simply neutral farm on its head.
// Part 0
This time I only discuss that you can download a premade starter project file containing all necessary images that are being used in this series and a basic overworld movement system so that we can start with something (also dont see the point of making a top down movement system because that is not the focus of this remake series, so it is there by default).
🚧 For the future: This series is under construction. There will is a free downloadable project file for everybody, so you can grab and do whatever you like to do with it (you can credit me, but not necessary). Also, this video series will be handled like my Hotline Miami series. If the views drop off a cliff (that I do see happening) it will be then discontinued.
