Text On Screen In Game Maker Studio 2

Every game will draw some text to the screen, whether in the form of dialogue, journals, pause screens, or something else. It's vital to know the basic functions and what common pitfalls you'll run into when drawing text.
Plus I share my trick to getting high resolution text even at a smaller scale, to avoid that pixel text that's difficult and annoying to read.

This is the first of two tutorial videos on creating a textbox system in Game Maker Studio 2. We start from scratch and establish the foundations of a working, flexible textbox system.

In part two we build upon this foundation, integrating more features such as multiple pages of dialogue, multiple NPCs, an inheritance system for rapid prototyping, colour customisation options, a typewriter effect, and a "skip" function.

Branching dialog, colored text, character portraits, shaky text, floating text, etc in GameMaker Studio 2.3! This is a 5 part series showing you how to make a very expressive and versatile dialog textbox system.

This tutorial is more advanced than the others I've posted up to this point and you would very much benefit from watching my menu system video before you watch this if you're not already confident in GameMaker.

Hello everyone, in this GameMaker Studio 2 Tutorial video we learn how to draw text on the screen and issue damage pop-ups when you deal damage or take damage. In this tutorial we go over how to make a font, how to use image_alpha as a timer to determine how long the text lasts on the screen before we instance_destroy(); to remove the damage pop up. I'll show you how to make the damage pop-up scroll in any direction after it's created, how to change the font color to any color you want, and how to use the draw_text_ext(); function. We also review how to create objects on the map if you've missed some of the previous tutorials using instance_create_layer();. We also look at a new function called string(); which will turn any value given into a string value that can be drawn on the screen as text which can be further manipulated. This is a simple way of making damage pop-ups and drawing text on the screen in a dynamic way, but there are hundreds of ways to make this work. You can experiment and come up with an even better way to make it work in your game, but this method works perfectly fine. I hope you find this tutorial helpful, thanks for watching.

If you use Game Maker for long enough you'll probably start to get annoyed at the built-in text drawing functions. The reason for this, it turns out, is that the built-in text drawing functions aren't very good. Fortunately, Game Maker users have taken it upon themselves to make their own. I happen to like this one.

Yes, you can use this to serve as an Undertale "text engine."

This video is about how to set it up and some basic usage. There's plenty more stuff you can do with Scribble (typewriter effects, etc) that I'll be going over in another video later, plus some technical things.

The advanced stuff video:

The Github repository for Scribble:

This is a tool for Game Maker Studio 2, and it won't work in GMS1. There is a version of it that does work on GMS1 (which I helped make!) but it's very old and isn't guaranteed to work as well.

Drawing text one or more letters at a time contained within a box. Potentially more on this topic soon!

This basics video tutorials shows you why your text looks blurry in GameMaker Studio and how you can fix this issue the easy way.

If you use the draw_text function in your draw event of any instance, your text does look off. Well, to fix this you need to tell GameMaker that you want to use a defined font (draw_set_font) which you need to create and setup to you wishes.

What is happening in the background?
What GameMaker is doing is to copy the font into your texture page as glyphs (imagine it like an image) at the size you set it up. So if you for any kind of reason need a very fine detailed font displayed in your game/programm you should ramp up the size of the set font in question.

Tldr:
1. create your font as an asset
2. tell Gamemaker you want to use it (draw_set_font(...) )
3. change size to detailed needed
4. save the world by eating all the linux distro
