CSD PS4? Literal megaton, day one, chubs! As you know from our PMs in the past, CSD is my favourite mobile game of all time. Wish you all the best!

This is what I downloaded for free a couple weeks back due to that special...hell ya! Not like I'd get approved for PS4 or anything, but it would be cool to play around with.

You can see a gameplay demo over at the YoYo Games Booth #1924 at GDC. There's eighteen games being played over there, including Cook, Serve, Delicious! on PS4.
ummm...excuse me, seriously?!? :O release date and are you already in cert with Sony?

But you apply for all platform? Ps3/ps4/ps vita? Why would sony refused approval for other platforms? If its really that easy, itd be nice to have crossbuy between those platforms. But I dont have any idea how hard it is to port games between platform
Thanks y'all! This is a great day for GM Studio devs.
You'd be surprised, it's actually pretty accurate. But that's what the beta test on Steam will help me with as well.
Not yet, I'm in the NDA process right now so I've still got some ways to go.
You have to submit a game proposal first, so I'm not sure exactly what that entails or how it will go.

This is big. GameMaker is the easiest game creation engine to work on.
Ah awesome, I missed that in reading the press release, somehow.
As it should be. Nobody should be able to walk into the offices of a major console maker with a half-baked idea and not as much as even a prototype, argue their 'game' will be the next great thing, and then get free devkits and software as a result. Too many people out there who claim to have the 'next great thing', but no game, no prototype; not even a design document.
If anything, this will help hobbyists - make a prototype of your game in GameMaker Studio on PC, and then you'll have something concrete to show to Sony. If the idea is good, the devkits and support will flow, and you won't even have to rewrite your game to deploy to Sony platforms.

Dammmmn glad I picked this up when it was free... then ordered the pro edition. Now I just need to get my ass in gear.

YES! Niddhog would be the best couch MP experience ever on the PS4(next to Towerfall)!!
Although nothing has been said, it would seem the logical step for them to bring it to the PS4 or even Vita !

Really digging GameMaker Studio right now. Trying to figure most of it out, and with very little coding.

That's really cool and good for you chubs! I'm just slowly learning Gamemaker Studio so maybe some day I'll be able to bring a game to consoles.
Hopefully Nintendo gets the engine on Wii U too. If they will, please bring Cook, Serve, Delicious to Wii U too chubs. I'm pretty sure my wife would love it, but she doesn't wanna play on PC much.

Be nice on PS4 for sure; don't think Niddhogg on Vita could be viable since it's a 2P-required, local-only game. And there's no Game Sharing on Vita, stupidly.
(Also, how accessible is Vita wireless? I know on PSP Sony was a tightwad about allowing developers access to some of the extra system features like wireless connectivity.)
But there for sure are some cool Game Maker games that could well come to Sony's portable thanks to this. A few have already been committed to the platform (Hotline, RoR, Hyper Light,) not sure how many were ported over without official support, I believe Hotline was redone in Unity? As long as the process is made more and more possible every day and the audience, albeit small, remains rabid, it should continue to be a system worth championing.
So Chubigans and other development-minded folks, are there any comparisons out there between Game Maker Studio and similarly-targeted engines like Unity? I have seen some complaints about the limitations and flaws in Unity's 2D, that's GameMaker Studio's bailiwick, but are we talking night-and-day better results or are there still advantages to both? And how do other 2D solutions out there (though I can't think of any officially announced for console support) stack up?
And more goddamned bubbles.

I want Cook Serve Delicious to have move support. That way you can emulate all the horrbile things done to your food before you eat it.
I agree. I've always been a supporter of curated marketplaces. If my game isn't what Sony is looking for, then it'll be a disappointment sure, but I'd still be in favor of curation.
The low low price of zero dollars!
YES
Whatever GM Studio decided to do next, I'd certainly like to be there.
Game Maker has it's own code base, called GML, which is very similar to C languages. But you can't typically use outside code or go outside the game's sandbox state, which is why it wouldn't be good for something like web apps or non game apps. That is slowly changing with the newer versions of GM, however.
I don't think this applies to PS Mobile. So you cannot export to Mobile using GM Studio, as it uses a different set of APIs and such.
I don't use Unity so it's hard to say personally. What I do know with Game Maker is that I can make a game, hit export, and it just plain works on all platforms. There's optimization that would be useful in porting to, say, mobile from PC, but by and large it's a fantastically solid engine.
I wonder if Studio will support VR. Croutons and tomatoes COMING AT YA!

This is amazing, maybe I'll need to go back to making games on my free time.
@chubigans
Did you ever believe that your game would be on a PS console? Given that the original game you drew inspiration from was for PS1. It's like everything coming full circle.

After a few disappointing talks with console port studios (one wanted to make it easier and more casual friendly) I had pretty much given up on consoles, yeah. Crazy stuff!

Time to boot up Stuido again! Incredible! I can make my own Vita games!
Knowing that real devs are out there making great games with GameMaker, combined with this new support from Sony, strongly has me considering giving it a try. I might actually finish a project for once...
(By the way, my sister loves Cook, Serve, Delicious and she'll be thrilled to hear it's coming to consoles too. I'm always glad to see good games get the wide audience that they deserve.)

Wow, really cool stuff! I'll have to give GMS a look. I have mostly stuck to unity so far.
That's exactly what I intend to do!
Quick glimpse of CSD on PS4:
oh shit! had no idea this was coming out

Thanks! Yeah definitely check out GMS, I can't recommend it enough.
Also it's kind of weird in that the game is playable on PS4, but I haven't announced that it's actually coming to PS4, haha. Hopefully all will go well in the approval process.
