–For the TGF Programmer–
Hello everyone, I am here to try and encourage more people to take
a good look at TGF and actually learn to use this program. There have
been many people in the past who say that creating a Metorid game
(or any good game in general) in TGF is impossible. It’s completly
possible to create great games with this, you just need to skills to do so.
I’m trying to help people become interested in this program, and for
this I am going to create a series of tutorials to help anyone interested
get started. So far, my tutorials are not exactly for a person just now
learning TGF. In order to understand them and use them, you must atleast
know the basic functions such as alterable values, counters, and also have
knowlage of most of the events and what they do. I expect to release more
TGF tutorials as I go on. I need your help on what you might actually need
though (such as grapple beam, Morph Ball, Health tutorials ex.).

New tutorials are expected to be released later on. In with each tutorial is an EXE (for those of you who don’t have TGF or use Game Maker) so everyone can test it out and leave comments and critique. Also with the engine is the open source engine, the .gam file. Open up that file if you wish to view the events of the tutorial. I used Edthedestroyer’s post layout for setting up my tutorials, just incase anyone was wondering. If you use any of these examples in your games please remember to give Dragon credit!
Everyone is welcome to post questoins, comments, and critique. Please tell me what you think of my tutorials so far.
