Trying to get back into Game Development

As in creating my own games in Game Maker or other engines. After I had started working on BSSF2: Glamor Queen, I kept forgetting how to code in GML. This also extends to the philosophy I used to do when I created my own Game Maker games as a hobby.


These days, I have no idea how to balance my time between browsing platforms like YouTube, Twitter, Instagram, Discord, Bluesky, etc, rotoscoping my own model renders, developing Game Maker games, and more. I'm afraid I've run past my prime time as far as creating Game Maker games goes. The best I can do is to keep recycling code from my previous games. A nice thing to know is that games written in pre-Studio versions of Game Maker can run on a Steam Deck under custom Proton settings, with some caveats such as the complete lack of MIDI audio, or sounds not being able to interrupt themselves. Larger games seem to crash at random.
