Free Shmup Engines for GameMaker: Studio

[OverdrivenSoftwareKP]

Hello, everyone! I am Kevin Parsons of Overdriven Software. I have several shmup engines at the GameMaker: Marketplace and all of them are free. You can use these engines to help you make many different kinds of shmups. The engines and everything that is included with them may be used in any personal or commercial games that you make. It is not necessary to give me credit, but if you use the engines, then I'll really appreciate it if you leave a rating and a review at the GameMaker: Marketplace.

Here are links for the engines:

They are actually really good. I bought them a while back before they went freeware. Would love to see controller support though, and maybe not resetting score when being hit

Thanks for buying the engines! I really appreciate the support! I only made about thirty dollars after several months of selling assets at the GameMaker: Marketplace. Almost no one bought the engines while I was charging money for them and this is why I decided to just make them free. These shmup engines are now becoming some of the most popular assets at the GameMaker: Marketplace. I don't currently have a gamepad controller that I can use for PC, so I can't add gamepad controller support since I won't have a way of testing it. Other companies have gamepad controller support assets at the marketplace and they probably won't be difficult to implement into the engines. I think that some of those assets are also free like my engines. The score system in these engines is pretty much the best that I can do for now. I've only been doing game development for about a year and I don't have much experience with making score systems. Before I got into game development, I made music education software because I am also a musician. Overdriven Software is actually just me, but I worked with Ricardo Dixon of Digital Infinite when I was making the Dual Scrolling Shooter Engine. The score system is slightly different in that engine because Mr. Dixon made some changes to it. He added the ability for the engine to save the high score.
