I'm working on a game from the ground up in RPG Maker MV but with Game Maker getting native Switch export in the future, my interest is piqued. I have very little coding experience but from what I hear GMS is incredibly user friendly. Would it be a ton extra work to jump into it, comparable to learning something like Unity? Or is it something mostly anyone can learn to do.

Was just announced a few days ago. Undertale and other popular games made with the software are coming to Switch too.

I knew Undertale was coming, didn't know Game Maker itself was.

Interesting... do we know if it will be a watered down version of the actual Game Maker like the RPG Makers for consoles were? Because if not, ho boy.

I think they mean you'll be able to export a game for the Switch from the software on your PC instead of having to jump through hoops. It's not gonna actually be an app on the Switch

Holy shit this is some expensive software. Literally 800 dollars a year to publish to PS4 or Xbone.

I mean that's probably way cheaper than you'd have to pay an outside publisher to get your game onto a console, so idk.

Also for the record you don't HAVE to pay $800 at the beginning. You can make an entire game with the standard license and if you're serious about getting it onto consoles you can then choose to pay the $800 for that license. Think of it this way: if pretty much anyone could whip together a crappy game and submit it to Sony/Microsoft/Nintendo, there'd be either be a flood of garbage onto their online markets (a la Apple) or they'd just turn away like 95% of games submitted, wasting everyone's time and maybe even ruining it for competent indies too.

not 100% correct.

Game Maker 2 is getting switch support, if you have Yoyo's old Game Maker Studio 1, that is not receiving any further updates.
