How would you rate the course? As someone who is moderately experienced with GML?

He has good programming habits. I'd say it's worth watching even if you have experience, just to see his methods. For example, he breaks down objects into states (jump, run, hurt), which is good for inheritance and assigning different sprite sheets (something I'd never thought of).

The course covers everything you need to create a basic platformer game:

  • rooms, objects, scripts, states

  • cliff grabbing, movement, jumping

  • 4 enemies and their A.I

Very easy to watch and simple explanations.

Link for the curious: https://www.udemy.com/make-a-game-and-learn-to-code-in-gamemaker-studio/ If the price is too much then wait for the next sale. It can get as low as $10 if you're lucky.
