Now I want to see your video to know what other methods you suggest

I normally just define a state in my obj_game using an ENUM, and then check in the step events of the other instances for things that need to happen during pause or normal gameplay states. It works awesome for me.

Bakudan by torrated A mix between Pacman and Bomberman

April 2025 is gone, so it's time to show you what I have been working on this month: Bakudan.
It takes mechanics from Pacman and Bomberman, and it is quite fun (imho).
Go check it out on torrated.itch.io/bakudan

Tuberias by torrated My own version of the classic Oilcap

A month is gone but a new game is here!
During March, I have created my own interpretation of the classic Pipemania.
I learned quite a few new things about GameMaker during the process, as working with Surfaces.

Today, for the first time in my life, I submitted a game to a Game Jam. Something created in just two weeks. I know it has flaws and it’s not great, but I had fun with it, learned a lot and grew as developer. Go check it out: torrated.itch.io/bipbipboom
