I know right. How refined and perfect could your game be with the ability to see the effects of code in real time. It makes every movement work exactly as you would want it to the first time without any guessing. I bet you could put games out pretty fast with something like that.

Here is the full video and it applies this same thing to many forms of designing any why:

Talking about the first vid.Wow that is cool as hell. Still will have to know what is going on code wise, but it will be cool too switch this up in game. Nice vid!

Yeah but this also allows you to jump in with fairly limited code knowledge and actually test and see what the code will do. It would make understanding code and how it applies to a game much easier.

I would like to see this guy release these tools some time soon that would change a lot of things I think. It isn't just making games that he applies this same thing to either. The second video shows a lot of different ways the same concept can be used to make developing things easier.

Technically... Unity and Unreal and such already do this. While not code directly, but you can create variables and change the variables while have the game in play mode.

No time line though.... atleast not in Unity.

EDIT: The recording of movements is awesome though, it basically applies NG2 or Halo's recording method into game design.

Yep, Kismet does this also UT3 Script. This game design tool looks awesome!

That does look cool but even if I had access to it I wouldn't even know where to begin...

That's what forums are for. Only people who have taken classes on computer programming typically open Game Maker and start scripting on the first day. Most GM users use D&D. I even see threads at GMC where posters are supposedly saying their teachers/professors require them to start with D&D (that blows my mind). I couldn't tell from the vid quality, but it would seem like it's scripted to read a number (GM does this too) and then make that number clickable, whereby a slider pops up and lets you adjust the number that way. The whole code seems pretty simple just from a glance, to me at least. I just wanna know what the rest of the interface looks like. I'm getting accustomed to GM's UI by now.

But that future viewer is effin' sweet.

Won't do me much good, i can't even make games the way they're coded now.
I'm more of an artist and a designer... and still waiting for a better game making software than anything we have now.. still have not found the right software for making platform games.
I found the right maker for RPGs long ago.. but software for making platform games has alluded me for years.
I got graphics and ideas.... like.. a lot of them.. but no way to make them happen, cause.. i can't process numbers... and remember coding and such.. it's just not in me, i'm an artists first and formost.. can't do much else.

Sorry for the rant, but yeah... this might not do me much good.. i don't get all that coding stuff as is.

Coding is an art form in and of itself, one that can pay hundreds of millions of dollars more than any other art form.

I don't see it that way, coding to me... is math.. and i suck at math.. royally.
I'm good with pixel art, and really i'm just good with digital art period.. i tried coding things.. i get a headache and throw my keyboard across the room.
Could just be the ADHD though... i just know that until someone makes something for making platform games as simple as RPG Maker is for RPGs.. i'm not gonna be making anything.

And if coding is such an art form, how come games sucked so bad until an artist named Miyamoto came along? Huh?
Coding is just that, coding.. nothing more. And don't try and tell me otherwise, i'm 31 years old, i been around long enough to know better.

But there are things as easy if not easier than rpg maker. Rpg maker is actually kind of rough I worked with it once but quickly scrapped it and used an existing game and editors to do my work which was much easier.

But rpg maker is limited to rpgs as far as I know and the other tools most people use are not genre specific. Right now I am using construct classic to build a game and others are using game maker or multimedia fusion all of which can be used to make any type of game and do not require programing though game maker does have gml which is it's own programming language I never got far enough into that one to talk much about it.

But this makes the headache of code go away in a hurry. You no longer need to keep track of anything it allows you to highlight a graphic which in turn will highlight the code for that graphic or the other way around if you prefer where you select a chunk of code and it will highlight the graphic. This allows you to focus entirely on one small piece of code at a time while being able to view any changes as they happen. No need to remember what is in the code or where it is just highlight the object that you want to change and fiddle with the little code block to see how it effects the object.
