GameMaker Cameras & Resolution 2026 - 4 PART VIDEO TUTORIAL -- from Beginner to Expert
A downloadable Tutorial Series
Hey, maybe this is weird, but I thought this would be a good place to put some tutorials. Lots of game devs on Itch.io, right? Anyway, this is my latest tutorial series dealing with Cameras and Resolution in GameMaker. Give it a watch!
PART 1 - BEGINNER
Summary: Brand new to GameMaker? Curious about how to set up a super basic camera and window for your game? Part 1 is made just for you!
PART 2 - INTERMEDIATE
Summary: Ready for something more advanced? In this video we'll talk about how GameMaker renders your game, and set up a basic camera using GML.
PART 3 - ADVANCED
Summary: Buckle up! We're going to add a boat load of features to this camera and we're gonna do it fast! Additionally, I'll do some refactoring to keep the project clean and in my "preferred style".
PART 4 - EXPERT
Summary: We've reached the end of the series, but there's still lots to talk about! Drawing your game in a box, bilinear filtering, and what about the fabled pixel perfect scaling with dynamic aspect ratio support?

Welcome back, and if it wasn't for Itch I wouldn't have found out since I disabled my YouTube notifications. So, good call putting it in here XD
Oh, nice! I was waffling a bit on whether to post them here, so I'm glad it ended up being a good idea! I'll keep doing it for each series I release in the future.
Welcome back!!
Been doing cams and resolution for years but always feels a bit clunky. Love your code (purchased some of your assets in the past) so looking forward on your take on cams. Thanks
Thank you so much! It's fantastic to see you're still active!! As someone getting back into this after a 4 year hiatus, your timing couldn't be better :)
Very useful and video is nicely editted, thanks for making these @pixelatedpope !
