I would suggest using Maratis instead, because GameMaker is inferior and Maratis can be coded using Lua instead of that the GameMaker language + you can combine efforts with Blender etc.

- amarsahinovic 13y agoGameMaker is focued on 2D games[0], where Maratis is focused on 3D games (from what I can see). It would be better to compare Maratis to Unity3D. [0] http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/177983/ http://www.gamasutra.com/view/news/177983/
- krapp 13y agoYou can make 3d games in GameMaker as well though i've always though it was really probably not the best use of it. I haven't seen any 3d GM games which blew me away in any case ... and i've never made any.
- amarsahinovic 13y agoI know you can, but as you said, it's not the best way to go. If you need 3D games, there are better tools for that than GameMaker.
- krapp 13y ago"because GameMaker is inferior" isn't really a valid argument for anything. I personally don't like a lot of the syntax in GML but I find GameMaker a perfectly fine tool for making 2d games.
