I'm not a "great" developer, but I'm skilled enough that I can turn my ideas into reality (at least when it comes to 2-D games). Other people might be able to code things more quickly and more efficiently, and many developers are far better artists than I am, but I feel like I have a good understanding of the fundamentals at least.

Revenge of the Walrus is still probably the best game I've made, although Cheerwine Deluxe 3 had some moderately fancy programming tricks that I loved making.

Course clear! You got a card.

my greatest masterpiece is, of course, mario pong

DO NOT under estimate this lakitu to much or it will be the end of that life (note: do not over estimate him either).

I would be a great developer if I had already finished making a game.

[Xander]

I tend to learn enough to do the things that I want to do. As a hobby developer, that's about the best you can aim for, really.

Me.

I'm not the best. I've made a few cool minigames, however I decided something. I'm going to learn as much as I can about dev and design before I start on my game.

[DustinVG]

I've programmed a thing once

join my discord join it join it right now i'm not gonna ask again

Being great at something can be very different from different perspectives. I never claim myself that I am the best developer. Instead I am oriented with realism, there's always something to learn.

I certainly started with Game Maker back in 2008.
But then, since i didn't like using GML, in 2013, i transitioned to Multimedia Fusion 2.5, due to its unique eventing system.
Then i finally learned GML in the end of 2016.

But there's a secondary hand for making games. I use RPG Maker VX Ace.
End of my game work history.

My projects:

I wish I spent more time developing skills on using Game Maker, and also learning C and C++. I'm stuck making a Super Nintendo homebrew game because I've already spent so much time programming it, and I want to get it done as soon as possible.

If anybody needs SNES programming help, you can ask me.

No I suck but I still have fun

I think some of you guys are getting hung up on how good you are at coding and failing to see the bigger picture here.

Coding is only a small part of the full development process. Most of the best coders I know are terrible game developers because they get hung up on their engine and never produce any actual content.

This is very true. The best way to get better at making games is to make games! Don't stress if there are bugs or imperfections in the engine - you can always fix those later on.

I have a loads of game play ideas, but the more game play ideas I implement, the more programming it takes.

Couldn't agree more, and thanks for the advice about minigames and making them. They are complete games and they count as that, so thank you.

Only on the creative side and some other ideas. I'm not exactly that well-versed in animation, programming and music. ;w;

[SilverVortex]

i'm okayish at programming, if i wasn't, odyssey2D wouldn't exist.
i'm fluent in something else though...i can't remember what... while thinking, vortex absent-mindedly creates the world's best sprite animation...

[AndrewPixel]

I think I'm still a noob developer, I try hard to improve.

[TheHappyFaceKing]

I consider myself as an okay developer, I know the basics of it and some of the advanced stuff and that's big feat for me considering I was self taught.
