If you've never seen Callouts in Action before, this video shows what Callouts are and how to implement them into your game with a simple 5-minute tutorial.
Callouts are a handy and elegant way to display text to the user that doesn't interrupt game-play, and their buttons can have a variety of functions. Download the Game Builder Tab V3 and try Callouts for yourself:
Don't all send me those level's you've made at once!... Yeah, I haven't received any level submissions yet. But just think! NO ONE is submitting levels, which means if you submit a level now, you are GUARANTEED to be featured!
If you want to make levels for submission, you'll need Mars Lander Builder, which you can download here:
The program contains its own tutorial, so you'll be all set once you've downloaded it. You can make as many levels as you want and share them with the level code on this forum.
You can also send any levels you make to me in a private message in the following format, and I will evaluate them for posting in a future News update:
Level Name: My Awesome level
Level Code: AFAJSGFKJAKGJ...
(I will take a picture of the level)
Description: This level is awesome because I made it!
If you'd like to see some levels I made for inspiration, click here to check out this news post.
Big things are underway between Bluish-Green Productions and Assembly Line Games, some of which you might see by the end of the summer. Aside from videos like this one, tutorials are not in formal development. One person can only work on so many projects.
Anyway, Game Maker 9 is on the horizon, and Yoyogames has been talking about the significant changes that will be made to Game Maker in its newest iteration. To that end, I don't think it would be worth making tutorials for GM8.1 only to have them outdated by the time they are released.
However, when Game Maker 9 DOES release, you can bet Bluish-Green Productions Game Maker Help will be fully supporting it with timely tutorials!
Don't worry, between now and then, there will be other cool things like Callouts and Game Builder programs.
And as always,

Excellent game creation program, (only one that I have used), but some one needs to update this page! A new version of game maker was released (8.1) some time ago, and I don't think that that is mentioned here. However, this is a great program, and I highly recommend for everyone to try it out.
I've heard from reliable sources that World of Warcraft was made in this engine. Can anyone please confirm this information?
This engine is 2D. So, yeah....
Actually, once you buy it you can get a doom-like 3D going..
not that it's worth the time figuring it out
O YEAH, IT WAS
yep, it was, world of warcraft was made using game maker. I confirm it... completely, no chance that I'm lying.
To rangerC, the best way to get in to game development is to start out in 3d. Gamemaker is a beautifully done, flexible program onto which I have invested much time. When I moved on to the third dimension, I realised gamemaker no longer had the greatest toolset, so I went on to the source engine. Moral is, game development is a learning process, and the skills you learn here will help you later on- so don't be so quick to judge a software based on half-arsed attempts, and take a look at the great games developed by inspired people.
And "I hate to bring up age but "years ago", your profile says your 15, I doubt you where developing years ago."
Guys, I started Blender when I was about 12 and gamemaker earlier than that, haha.
I stared game maker and art of illusion when i was like 9, and 3ds max when i was like 11.
I started making gaames like world of warcraft in game maker when i was like 5 and went on to make even better stick fash games when i was like 7...
I applaud you, good sir.
