It only took me a couple of weeks to actually learn the code well enough to get started and learn more along the way. There was a period before I used the code that I only used GameMaker's drag and drop functions or whatever, but then I hit limitations with that and immediately wanted to learn the code. Just watched random beginner tutorials for things I wanted to try and copied their projects and within a couple of weeks I was making whatever I wanted. I'd say if a tutorial seems super complicated avoid it at the start.

Friendly reminder to check out my 2D crime sandbox game, potentially the first of its kind. It's free, I just get satisfaction from knowing people are getting arrested in the game.

I just added controller support to my free crime sandbox game that runs in browsers (or installs like a normal program) if anyone is looking for a new open world sandbox to mess around with. There are multiple yet-be-discovered secrets. So far around 2300 people have played and I get anywhere from 5-100 people playing every day.

Also after controller support is added I wanna add something fun like a quest or big long mystery with multiple steps like collecting cool looking gems and finding a fountain of youth, potentially even making the player's lifespan limited unless they eventually do this (or buy elixirs to extend lifespan)
