Gamemaker MVA Start Kits

A while back I did a Microsoft Virtual Academy training session on Creating Your First 2D Game with Gamemaker. This has seen a lot of traction lately. One of the things I talked about in the session is using the StarterKits that we developed for our Game Camps to give you a running start on either a Maze Game, an Endless Runner Game or a Platform Game. The place those files were hosted is no longer there so I decided to host them here on my site since I have been getting lots of requests for them.

You can find the StarterKits here :
