Is it possible to create an rts game with this?

[Albi]

I mean when you think about games like age of empires 2 they were done in 2d can you do something similar on game maker studio 2?

[Keys]

Yes. The more important question is; are you good enough to program it properly?

[TurboGarbage]

You totally can, but an RTS is on the more difficult end of the spectrum to create, you'll need a decent level of skill before you embark on that venture.

I predict you can make an rts if you have made 30+ games (assuming they are increasingly difficult), to put that into perspective, I have made 4. i would fail at and rts XD

Yes, you can. There is no limit to programme something like that. But in a classic RTS, you have more than 1, actually many "player" controlled by the user. This creates the main complexity of RTS since you have to construct cross interactions between these "players" and enemies. Secondly, you have to deal with instance IDs more than just instances because you will have multiple tanks, soldiers, buildings etc. Each have to be played personally as well as move and attack in a certain cooperation with other components of the game. In brief, it is more and more complex compared to a platform game but obviously it is quite possible for experienced users.

You can make anything 2d with gamemaker, but if this is your first attempt at making a game, don't make the stupid mistake we all made. Tackle something WAY smaller, and then amp it up progressively.

This. Don't try to create big game at first. That was my mistake too.
