Reminder: Game Builder Garage Is Out Now On Nintendo Switch

Just waiting for my copy to arrive via snail mail from Amazon, maybe a week from now.

Can you play other people's games? And how easy is it to do so if you can?

@carlos82 You can share codes with users across the world. There's no in-game browser, but fortunately, a fan-made platform (http://mygarage.games/) is rapidly growing in popularity, and will definitely be a great place to find games easily in the future

Having to issue reminders already, not a good sign....

*titters

I’ve been playing it today and am finding it really fun so far! The interactive lessons are much better than I expected them to be.

@tee-cup
So an even worse sharing experience than Mario Maker 2 and it’s horrible spam filled tabs, I’m impressed.

There's a demo on the eShop, too.

Probably going to get it later in the year, but not now, With all that juicy E3 news.

@tee-cup thanks for that, its a definite purchase for me now and who knows, maybe I'll be able to make some half competent ganes too

I'm thinking of grabbing this a bit later since it's cheap and could be a fun learning experience. I'm just kind of busy at the moment, and E3 could have some pop up surprises I may want.

Speaking of which I wonder if this will get a shout out so it's not overlooked. We'll see.

@RupeeClock Also been considering picking up a US copy here in the UK from them. I own a few US imports, but with this one i’m concerned about the online - sharing and playing other peoples creations might need a US Region account?

Are you reminding me that I can't download anything really because of the NEW update that was supposed to fix the old update...

@Nejsayer Unlikely. US imports are usually functionally identical to other regions apart from more obvious things like language options.

I think I'll pick it up, I've always liked playing around with things like scratch and such even though I still need to learn actual coding

Struggling to get to grips with this one. Can't use my regular 80s style gamedev skills. It's lacking some "Normal" stuff that I typically work with. A different mindset, methinks.
I'll be sticking with SmileBASIC.

@ToadBrigade Me neither, but I don’t think I’ve given it a real shot, and I suspect the same for you.

Perhaps instead of approaching it like “here’s a bunch of tools, let’s see what I can do with them,” maybe take some time to daydream about makes you happy in games, what little scene would be fun. And do that before you even turn on the Switch and sit down. Just like... idk, I like cozy little old school dungeon platforming games with generic bats and ghosts... hopping around with a sword, solving a puzzle or two, swinging from a chain... it just takes a minute or two to get inspired if you give yourself a chance. I may actually try this, but... it’ll be competing against my dream of shooting a short film, so... maybe.

Sorry if I sounded preachy, just see this way too often, hate to see people casually selling themselves short. Like I’m no game developing savant either, but... I bet we can bother muster the confidence to create something great. (In this game or otherwise.) Peace and cheers!

I made a discussion thread to talk about this, but my god, it's driving me up the wall that you're restricted to two decimal places. I'm trying to make a sine calculator, and I can't convert to radians using 0.02, at that point its worse than having pi=3

@Kaiffe123

Reassurance

@ThomasBW84

Its not now. Lol

First: I bought Mariomaker in order to make great Mario levels (number of Mario levels created to this day: 0)
After that I bought Dreams because, being a more complete tool than Mariomaker I was sure I was going to create lots of games (Number of games created to this day: 0)
Sorry Game builder garage you look fine but I guess I am not a creative gamer.

Be sure to use a mouse for this one. It's so much better...

@stinky_t say whuuuut?
