I want to help you learn how to make your game in GameMaker Studio.
The Coding Fundamentals Series is a great place to start if you're new to coding or just want to know how GameMaker does something. I also have a number of videos on various topics that can help you make your game—things like virtual keys, vectors, steering behaviors, GUI buttons, buttons in general, Git and Github, the broadcast message system, multitouch, and so on.
I keep my subscription list public and try to find and subscribe to channels that I think could be helpful for you. These are mostly other GameMaker channels, but I have some general coding channels that I think are accessible even if GameMaker is your first and only language as well as some game design channels that I enjoy.
If the videos are helpful, please consider supporting me on Patreon: www.patreon.com/samspadegamedev.

I'm not sure I agree with all of the ideas in this series, but it is a really fascinating series that I recommend for anyone interested in more advanced programming ideas in GameMaker. It really takes advantage of GameMaker's new programming language features (structs, methods, binding, etc) in a way that is rare to see in GameMaker tutorials.

While more technical than most, this is one of the better (and more recent) breakdowns of how GameMaker's Cameras, Views, and GUIs work that I've seen. (And their channel has a lot of other cool videos as well.)

While a more general programming video, a lot of what they discuss is still very applicable to a hobbyist programmer in GameMaker.

A really great channel I've been watching recently is Green Box Games. They're in the middle of making one game a month in GameMaker. Their most recent game is playable for free on itch.io and in this video they cover how they made it look so good.

I just published a free, no ads, score attack arcade game to the Google Play Store! You can get it here: play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.threecat….
I'll be doing a devlog about it soon, so if you play it, and have any questions about how I coded or made a certain part of it, let me know in a comment and I'll try to answer it!
