Introducing Game Engines That Make It Possible To Make 2D And 3D Games

Gaming Is One Of The Most Lucrative Industries In The World, And It Is No Exaggeration To Say That No Industry In The World Can Compete With The Gaming Industry With The Least Financial Risk. 

Game Engine, Various industries such as automotive, aircraft, smart gadgets, medical systems, and even application software have their own concerns and face many problems such as technical glitches, hacking attacks, incompatibilities with previous hardware or platforms, and the like, during none.

The above challenges do not threaten the gaming industry. To be more precise, it is enough for an experienced team of programmers, graphic designers, storytellers, and technical effects experts to come together to create a multi-million dollar product.

If the product to be manufactured is online, the production team’s profit will be higher because users will have to pay a subscription fee. The production team will also conclude savings contracts with the publishers for advertising.

Play and make money

If we take a closer look at the gaming industry in the world, we see that big companies have invested millions of dollars in this industry, and almost all the big games in the world are produced by companies located in developed countries because they have all the necessary facilities, equipment, and tools. They have.

However, it would help if you did not think that making games is the easiest thing globally, although it is possible to prepare simple or two-dimensional games with the least technical facilities. When you decide to enter the gaming world, you wonder how things are going. Of course, you have to work hard, because nothing is free. The hardest part is getting started and sticking to it.

What programs are best for making a video game?

Fortunately, there are plenty of choices in this area, though most developers turn to Unity 3D for 3D games and GameMaker Studio for 2D games. Both versions are available for free and can be learned through online documentation or published books.

Both programs allow you to choose the platform for which you want to build the game. So there is no particular problem with gaming for home computers or consoles. Of course, due to the many technical limitations for Iranian developers, I suggest you do not go for game development for consoles because you have to have a lot of experience in debugging games for consoles. In addition, you have to buy developer kits and expensive licenses.

GameMaker: Studio

Famous games such as Downwell, Crashlands, Hotline Miami, Nuclear Throne, Nidhogg, and Spelunky are made by this game engine. GameMaker Studio has the best performance in making 2D games because it is equipped with a special programming language for making games.

The syntax of this programming language is so simple that professional programmers do not consider it a real programming language. Still, it is easy to learn and provides programmers with efficient capabilities. With just a few simple commands, the blocks will move, and you will be able to shoot at enemies.

The Game Maker engine can be a good starting point for coding. However, it is not possible to apply its code directly to other programming languages, and it teaches the concept and structure of coding well.

In-Game Maker, an interesting programming feature called Icons with the mouse, select, vector, and then place it somewhere speeds things up. The above feature is intended for people who do not want to code, but we suggest choosing the coding option instead.

Game Maker should be described as the best option for people who like to work alone.

Game Maker can use in the field of 3D gaming, but it does not offer powerful functionalities because its main focus is on making 2D games. However, the development team has announced that it has considered powerful possibilities in making 3D games that will provide to developers in the future.

Unity

One of the most powerful 3D gaming engines globally is Unity, used to create popular titles such as Ori and the Blind Forest, Inside, Yooka-Laylee, Layers of Fear, Super Mario Run, Firewatch, and Pokémon Go. In the past, the Unity game engine was commercially available to developers, and the free version was available with limited capabilities. Still, Unity has been available to developers for free for several years.

Interestingly, big companies like Ubisoft and Nintendo use it to make games. Unity offers developers good capabilities in both 2D and 3D game development. The biggest difference between Unity and Game Maker is in the coding discussion.

You can make a ready title without the need for a line of code, but you should not expect an interesting game to be made. Unity is a huge market for pre-made models for developers, although most of them are free.

More precisely, the control section, animations, and objects are available from the market section, and you can use them at no cost. It would help if you learned to program seriously to be able to use Unity.

Fortunately, Unity supports both C # and JavaScript, both of which are popular and useful languages. By learning these two languages, ​​you will be able to play games and have the ability to build other applications.

This game engine allows the programmer to use the simplest text editors such as Notepad to professional coding environments such as Visual studio code and JetBrains Rider, etc., to edit scripts.

Newer versions of Unity use the C # programming language as the primary development language in this environment.

In the past, Unity supported the Boo programming language, which is removed in version 5. Unity is a multi-platform gaming engine that can provide output for many existing platforms.

It is difficult to get Android output from this software; however, today, only about 5% of users run games on personal computers, and a large share goes to game, mobile, and web consoles.

Unity provides output for popular platforms such as Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, Iowa, Web (HTML5), Xbox One, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Atari WCIs, Microsoft Windows, Android, Mac OS X, and Tizen.

It can say that Unity produces game output for almost all existing platforms. This feature is significant commercially, especially when running the game on the web and in a multi-user manner that attracts many users.

The Unity game engine has created several games on the social network Facebook.

Of course, to use Unity, you need a lot of skills to build a project. To be more precise, a team of experts in animation, modeling, programming, storytelling, and quality control must come together to create an engaging game. Accordingly, Unity is not a good choice for single-player play.

Once you have selected the type of game and the tool you want, you should learn to play. It is better to start with small games. You might want to design games like Call of Battleshock and make it the best-selling game in the world, but half the people fail because they picked up a big rock in the beginning. It is better to start with a small project so that it can complete.

The more small projects you complete, the more experience you gain. Despite the richness of gaming communities and resources on the Internet, learning gaming basics is not difficult.

How to use the GameMaker Studio engine for game development?

YoYo Games, The creator of the GameMaker game engine, has prepared many practical tutorials for beginners. In addition, the heartbeat and RealTutsGML sites have several good educational topics for those interested.

Tom Francis, the game screenwriter who later entered the world of game coding, has provided interesting tutorials on making games without any experience for those who are interested. Just Google his name to access the training topics he has prepared.

The GameMaker community also contains many questions and answers in this regard.
