Hey guys.

Red Dot Lab (basically, me) have just finished up their game, Blazin' Aces.
Take control of the skie's in Blazin' Aces; a retro fuelled, aerial dogfighting game. Shoot, bomb and dodge your way to victory in this 8-bit inspired shooter.

Thanks Crimson.

It was done in Game Maker, its an easy tool for prototyping games. Its language it GML (game maker language), which is a simplified version of C+ if I am not mistaken...
 
Woohoo! I'm glad that you released it Duncan. Will download it tonight. :)

Guys he put a lot of work into this and it's really well done. I hope lots of people try it out.

Oh i see, any coding involved or just drag/drop? I studied C++ in college but never got to program games and shit
 
Yes, even though Game Maker does use drag and drop, the entire game has been created with code. What I enjoy about Game maker is that it takes care of the engine for you, and gives you pre-determined variables, such as direction and speed, so that you dont have to go and tinker with the engine itself.

I find its a very underrated tool, especially now since it allows for export to HTML5

Sure thing, you can find it at yoyogames.com . Unfortunately it isn't free, but you can try the "lite" version for free. You can do pretty much most things with it. You can check out some tutorials at gmc.yoyogames.com as well :)
