Our latest series of video tutorials for GameMaker Studio 2 (GMS2) is a return to our arcade shooter Space Rocks. Using your existing Space Rocks project, our new series takes on 5 different topics to really expand your game and knowledge. Once again these tutorials can be followed in GMS2 using the free trial without coding, by using the drag and drop visual language, or by coding with GameMaker Language.

Presented again by Friendly Cosmonaut, the "Space Mods" series covers Cameras for expanding the playing field and following the action. Parallax Backgrounds for adding movement and depth to the look of space. Enemy Factions for filling out your game with antagonistic ships. Power-ups to the player ship to turn the tide of battle and lastly Effects to really polish your game off with pretty particles.

Check out the expanded series below and look forward to more tutorials from us in the future.
