How to Work in a Team

[NFSNOOB]

What is the best practice for building a project in a team ?

[maras]

Make a discord server (or use something else) only for the dev team
Don't let everyone doing whatever they want
Share your work so other people can adapt to the other's code
Use deadlines

Sorry for the misunderstanding.
I mean how to setup and use a Game Maker project in a team, so everybody can work parallel at the same project.

There is the posibility to use Git but i read that at GMS 1.4 there can be differences with the GM Project file when multiple persons use the same project

[maras]

Uhh well if you mean to work with the project like with google docs I don't think that's possible

[NFSNOOB]

No. More like Unity Teams.
Everyone has a duplicate of the project for example

[PXL]

Like github?

[NFSNOOB]

Yeah said already..

But dont tried it so when somebody have some experience with git and gamemaker studio 2 and the workflow, your welcome to give some advice

Your question is more how to use git with teams. You may want to look into git tutorials, how to use local and remote repos, create branches, merges, pull requests, and such. All of those concepts will be the same when using git as your VCS with GameMaker Studio, or any other engine.

I already know how to use git :)
I only want some advice and experience of people who already worked in teams with this tool.

thanks for the discussion anyway.

GameMaker does have built in source control tools for collaborative working:

Have not worked so far with GMS2 and git in a team, but it should be the same like in a python project I did in a team.

At some point you will always have merge conflicts which you have to solve. You won't get around.
