It's eaaaarly accesss!

So for a lot of you, this probably covers old ground. This first part of a new Platformer series is a really info dense crash course aimed at total beginners (Hence the length, stopping to explain variables, and so on) but will pick up its pace very quickly. This is an ambitious attempt to create a definitive course for as many people as possible and be a new flagship course for my channel.

I won't be spending months on end just making this. I'll be trying to do a new part to this video every other week, privately I aim to produce a video each week if I can (it doesn't always work out that way, hence why it's a private aim!) but my goal here is to work on this for every second video, in between doing my more varied, specific topics.

It's hella long but let me know what you think, it will release to the public on Friday. (As an aside, I don't mind you sharing with friends etc ahead of time, the only real reason I release on Fridays instead of just "when it's ready" is so that subscribers etc know when to expect the content. I figure you guys are a bit more invested and after all, you're funding the stuff so it'd be mad to keep it from you.)

Thank you for your support, you guys are the best <3.

GameMaker Studio 2: Complete Platformer Tutorial (Part 1: Basics)

Aimed at total beginners. Set up movement, gravity and collisions in fewer than 40 lines of code. The start of a complete series that will cover a wide range of topics for beginners and intermediate developers alike. New parts to this series released every other Friday. ▶ Support my work: https://www.patreon.com/shaunjs My old content was getting a bit old. So bringing it all forwards for GameMaker Studio 2, newer methods, and my new and hopefully improved editing skills! Sorry for those of you whom this video touches on old ground but stick with it, while I'm targeting beginners initially this course is going to ramp up quickly!

Hey Shaun, this is seriously awesome. Started on Youtube and am happy to back you through Patreon, this is invaluable to getting started. One question (that may be dumb), is there a way to download only the sprite resources? I downloaded the entire part for when you create an animated sprite, but just want those resources individually so I can manually create the rest myself. Thanks!

I don't think I ever uploaded source code for this, it'll take some work to recreate it and upload for each part but its on my to do list for early in the new year.
