Took a while to get there but here it is, I've refined my basic platformer code into a new tutorial that is fully compatible with 2022+ and the bounding box changes therein. 

I mention source code in the video but I'm still a little on the fence about whether or not this will be a "series" and how I want to present it so there will be a slight delay on that.

This video will release on Friday to the public. I know "early access" hasn't been as early as it used to be. The changes that have come to my editing style have been proving difficult to maintain on larger and more complex videos (inventory videos, this video, etc) but I'm trying to adapt and find ways to keep the benefits and higher production quality while stepping up the volume and frequency of content I put out. It's difficult to say the least.

Let me know your thoughts on this video below.

Thanks everyone for continuing to support and believe in the work that I do.

GameMaker v2022+: Platformer Tutorial

▶ Source code: (coming soon). ▶ Support my work: https://www.patreon.com/shaunjs This video is focused on how to make a solid framework for a platform game in the latest version of GameMaker Studio 2 (v2022.1+). If you want to make a platform game while being given a more gentle introduction to GML and coding, and learn various other techniques I recommend my Complete Platformer Series instead: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izNXbMdu348

Great format, very fast and to the point. Is it safe to assume that for something for a non-platformer like the Action RPG with Lulu the cat (e.g, something was WASD movement), you would just replicate the horizontal movement for vertical movement? Also, previously u used collision layers vice collision objects - could this also work for collision layers?

Layers won't matter yeah, and yes you would just replicate your horizontal movement.

Unfortunately I have discovered a critical issue with this new method, despite my work to prepare this video. See here for more info: https://www.patreon.com/posts/63382921
