Using emojis in titles

If you look around the Community Made Guides, almost every guide has an emoji in the title. There have been brief explanations of some uses, but I am just going to go into detail. Let’s get started! Difficulty ratings The most common, a lot of the guides that have difficulty ratings. This is useful for when you need to know how hard something you want to do will be. For example, you might be a newer gim trying to make a bank with interest, but seeing the guide difficulty says that it might be a…

( PSA!) Don't Give Up On Your Maps!

[image] What you see is a “Create New Map” button. You can click it if you have a map in your mind you want to make. But, do not just click 3 dots on the right of your map slot, then press delete if there’s a problem you didn’t know how to fix it, or find a solution. DON’T delete your maps. If you’re stuck on a problem, use The documents, or the community forums, where you’re reading this right now. You can’t just delete your map if you’re stuck with a problem. ASK the community forums. People…

( PSA!) There are automatic systems set in place to prevent misbehavior on the forum

There are certain measures set on the forum to prevent spam, because most people on this forum tend to post extremely short replies. Automations these are done by the system 20 Character Limit There is a 20-character limit set on the forum often because people on the forum are writing short replies.

[📢] PSA! Making Your Maps More Interesting

Introduction: A lot of Gimkit Creative is based on games such as Snowy Survival, Snowbrawl, One Way Out, or Fishtopia. After all, those games follow the great ideas of Dungeon Crawlers, Infection Games, Battle Royale Games, and Relaxing games where you make a lot of money. Obviously, Gimkit didn’t create these ideas. They use the ideas, but ideas such as Battle Royales aren’t copyrighted, because you can’t copyright these ideas. However, there’s a difference between creating a game with almost…

[📢 PSA!] Keep the Forum Clean!

Keep the Forum Clean: This is a rather short public service announcement, but when you’re help topic has been resolved, please change it (or get a TL3) to resolved. You can do this by putting “[RESOLVED]” in the title, or changing the tag to resolved. This will help @moderators like @Jeffo to close the topics.

The Power of Properties

Properties are perhaps one of the most useful devices in the game, and for many reasons. They can multiply many values, they are always saved, and can act as boolean values. When you’re stuck on something, remember your properties. I just want to share a few links that heavily rely on properties right now. These are just some of the guides that heavily rely on properties. They are your friend. Do not be intimidated by them, because no matter how confusing they are, they can make these thin…

11 Stereotypes in the Gimkit Forums that are allowed and NOT allowed

Publik Cervice Anocement - Introduction (joke, meaning “Public Service Annoucement”) I have seen a lot of types of people on the forums, acting…like them. Sometimes they act like someone else or something else. I made a list of stereotypes on the forums that’s allowed and that isn’t. 1 - The New Member (APPROVED) Well, you’ve obviously this because you might be new here. If you read this and you’re really new to the forums, welcome to the community! These Members mean they’re new to the comm…

[ PSA!] Pictures are powerful!

A lot of people are joining the forums as of late, which is great. A pretty big subsection of those people are going and making their own community made guides to share their knowledge, which is amazing! However, some most of these guides made by new users, and even a few guides made by older users are missing one crucial thing: pictures. As the old saying goes: A picture says a thousand words. Pictures can get hard concepts across to people who are having a hard time understanding the…

( PSA!) Mark Solutions To Your Topics!

Recently, the mods added a new setting for Help posts: solutions. Now, in the forum, you will see things like this: [image] [image] [186x199] When someone answers your question in your Help posts, please mark it as a solution. That will make the post automatically close 3 hours after the last reply. [image] That way, it will prevent more clutter and off-topic posting in the forum. Please start or continue doing this.

Gimkit Creative, and How it works (3 minute read)

Public Service Annoucement You’re probably confused on what Gimkit Creative is. You might be new to Gimkit, or you never used gimkit for a while. This guide shows what’s Gimkit Creative and How it works, there’s also about other stuff, like the forums, but we’ll get into that later. #1: What’s Gimkit Creative? Let’s start with the old eras, and how Gimkit Creative was born. On Gimkit’s tweets on Twitter, Josh and his team, Pharlain and Jeffo, have been making gamemodes in gimkit for awhile. …

[📢 PSA!] What to avoid doing in Gimkit Creative!

Side Note: I’m pretty sure @LxmasHaxTakis will also be creating a guide like this soon, and we both came up with the idea at the same time, so neither one is a copy. Thanks! Introduction: We all create Gimkit games that we think are the best. We design them, create good device systems, and do a lot of things with them. Unfortunately, sometimes our ideas can be a bit, “off” to say the least. @LxmasHaxTakis and I have compiled a list of 10 things to avoid doing in Gimkit Creative when creating …

Think before you make an off-topic opinionated post

Stop: Basically, what I mean is that if you’re going to make an off-topic post that you know people might have opinions on, don’t make it. If you’re going to say “guys, let’s bring this to the wixsite after”, then WHAT WAS THE POINT OF MAKING THE POST ON THE FORUMS IN THE FIRST PLACE? These posts belong somewhere else, come on! And, from personal experience, even if a post has a slight opinion, people like me will still want to respond. What to do if you see one of these: Flag it for being o…

[ PSA! ] Making help easier for everyone

If You See It, Flag It This forum is not for chatting. It is for getting support. You should not post replies if they do not contribute to the question. If you see anything off-topic, flag it. If it is vague, let it be, but please tell them they need more information Examples Things not to do: posting just for the sake of posting posting if it is unrelated to the post posting short replies use likes instead of posting “+1” or nice topic. I notice that the forum is more than 50% off-topic p…

[📢 PSA! ] Before Posting Bugs

Everyday, I see posts on Bugs about things not working, weird things on screen, etc. Before posting topics on Bugs, I urge users to try the following: Refreshing: Just a simple click of ctrl and R solves 90% of cases. On most posts, after the user refreshes their issue is solved. It only takes a few seconds to do and could save you from an unnecessary post. If the issue persists, then it makes sense to reach out to the community. In your post you can make note that you already tried refreshing…

( PSA, COLLAB WITH MYSZ) 10 Things NOT to do while making your game

Intro - We all love making gimkit creative games, because ideas come into our mind. But, there is something wrong with games, like you put something in your game, but that’s…just, well… wrong. Before we start - This is not a copy of the original guide, this is a COLLAB as the original guide in the top says so. Credits to @mysz for this. 10 - Prop spamming (According to Mysz) Okay, maybe decorations are nice, but…why spam? That won’t look the game even really good and nice! Think about Snowy…
