GMS 2 Project Files Now Available !!!

I had many requests to update the older GMS 1.4 projects. All of the project files for the lessons have been updated to GMS 2.x format so that you can use them with the currently free or paid version of GMS 2. The How-To projects will be converted in the next few days. Enjoy. Please message me any bugs- I didn't test all 160 conversions!

How-To Videos

Remember to check out the How-To Playlist on YouTube! Approaching 100 videos that cover all sorts of game features and popular gaming tasks that students ask about each year.
