Using easy to learn drag-and-drop actions, you can create professional looking games within very little time. You can make games with backgrounds, animated graphics, music and sound effects, and even 3D games! And when you've become more experienced, there is a built-in programming language, which gives you the full flexibility of creating games with Game Maker. What is best, is the fact that Game Maker can be used free of charge.
You can do anything you want with the games you produce, you can even sell them! Also, if you register your copy of Game Maker, you can unlock extra functions, which extend the capabilities of the program. Game Maker comes preloaded with a collection of freeware images and sounds to get you started.

Can you really make 3D games like the ones shown on the website?
Yes, you can. However this is quite a bit beyond the simple drag-and-drop abilities of GameMaker. If you visit the website, you'll find there's a whole section in the forums dedicated to 3d.
What is that amber?
It's a 2d puzzley / platformer with a strong physics orientation. You play as a blob of oil =]
Aha, game maker, I love this lame program of lame-osity.
Games will look as good as you make them and will be as complex as you make them. Find a game called Gish, that's a good example of GameMaker's capabilities (although it's not a GameMaker game itself) - although it can go a LOT further if you have the skills.
Yes, it shouldnt be used to make big professional games, but for small free games that are fun too play it is great. It is good for people that want to make their games quickly and have quality, as long as they can put up with 2D.
i am always interested in editor that can be used for making a whole game your own, even more so when it's free. but, untill now all those programs that i have seen where a bit outdated, they looked like games from many years ago. hope this isn't the way with game maker, but i am afraid it isn't. screen do look promising though, but there to small to realy make something out of them.
