As a beginner, developing your very first video game always seems daunting. There are so many different avenues to take when it comes to starting development; HTML, C++, C#, Python, Java and more. Game Maker Studio simplifies the development process with its very easy to use drag-and-drop feature. Many professionals, such as Benjamin Rivers (Alone With You), Dennaton Games (Hotline Miami), and more, use GML (Game Maker Language), but one of the best features of Game Maker Studio is its drag-and-drop feature – this makes the development process a lot smoother, and easier to transition into coding. 

Analogy

Imagine that you own an online business creating handmade items (ex. bracelets or necklaces). These items take time to create and time to perfect – these handmade items symbolize most coding languages such as C++ and Java. In order to speed up the time it takes to create these handmade items, you would either hire employees or possibly, over time, mass produce in a factory. The extra employees or the conveyer belt in a factor symbolize Game Maker Studio. While using Game Maker Studio as your software, it will speed up the process.
