I am DEFINATELY a gamemaker noob. I like can't do it. It's pretty easy in D & D, but I really want to make a game using gml. And that's where the problem kicks in, I don't know how to use gml that well.
Also, by looking at the comments on some of my games, I realize that my games lack "polish". I don't even know what that means, so could somebody please explain it to me?If somebody could tell me how to make my games have more polish, it would be greatly appreciated. If I learned how to do something like that, then maybe my games would get better even though I mostly use D&D.So I'm a game maker noob who wants to get better. Help will be greatly appreciated and possibly rewarded with a special thanks thing.Thank you so much,omgaghost
Open GM. Press F1. There.
Polish usually means how developed the game is in non-essential areas. Very nice introduction, menus, etc tend to be regarded as 'polish'. Polish also refers to games being bug-free and presented well.
Alternatively, Polish also usually refers to a Slavic language, the official language of Poland.

In my personal opinion, a "polished" game is clean of bugs and design flaws, and is visually (and sometimes audioally) pushed to its limits, (or the maker's limits if they are not quite good enough to make a game realise its potential…)
Polish; Makes things shiny.
Game Polish; Makes things shiny.Make your game look good.Getting better at Game Maker just takes practice. Just decide you're going to use code, and then keep at it, no matter how much you have to look things up in the manual.
Polish means making it more pleasant to play and watch. Everything fits together, there's no bugs, things seem 'smoother.'If you want more Polish in your games, I'd suggest digging around the internet for a polish version of GM. You might want to take some classes in Polish too. A trip to Warsaw might help as well.
