Will Game Guru Max have already maid Score counter and leader Board ?

Its should have !

Everybody always says when you ask something that you should do a LUA script !

This Game maker is not about it, is it ?
You should be able to make games without any programmin skills !!!

Where is basic thing like score counter ?????
Playing a game without it is useless !!!

There need to be build in Score counter and on screen counter and Leader board !!

score counter and leader board for what? are you talking about multiplayer or...?
but sure, give a better explanation of what you want the score board for and how it should work (maybe provide some video examples of games with a similar system) and we can help point you in the right direction

It makes sense to feel GG should be at the level of RPG Maker, as a standalone ready-to-use engine that doesn't need programming skills. Truthfully, GG requires programming skills to make a proper game and solving this issue is likely important. Not gonna downplay it.

@Jokke, If your talking about multiplayer, you can put in a request on Github for this.

RPG Maker doesn't have a score board or leaderboard.

Of course it doesn't. RPG Maker has standard RPG features, and a multiplayer scoreboard (kills/deaths etc) and such are standard for FPSs and should be in GG by default perhaps, if that's what the OP is trying to say haha. Since what GG is going for is an RPG Maker-like place in the market as an FPS Game Creator. But it's severely lacking in that area and seems to be more of a general first person adventure game maker right now.

Cheers

Keep in mind Max has not tagline, No " Easy Game Maker " or " Game Making for Everyone "
In short .. Expect to code to reach more complex goals.

yh the max store page is pretty good at setting a more realistic description but the TGC homepage still states

Now you can create, play and share fun games on your PC with no coding knowledge!"

i don't know why anyone would expect to be able to use any game engine without knowing how to code but then again i have no idea how TGC can claim any of their products can be used with no coding knowledge either so... the idea of creating a game that isn't just click and place without knowing how to code is a nice dream but GG is nowhere near that stage.

Ye your right it does over state what you can do.
True a very simple game can be made by anyone using default assets and supplied scripts but they would be better stating its enough to get you started although the ability to code and customise would be required for more advanced projects.

Rpg Maker mamages to not require coding, but its because its been around for a long time and has a lot of development behind it. Over time, small features have been compiled into one cohesive program. You still need to program to differentiate your game, but the core mechanical skeletal features are there. This is what GG lacks, its still a pretty barebone engine when it comes to building a game rather than a level.

To get anything done in RPG-Maker however you have to use their event visual scripter. Which is where you assign your states/toggles, variables and strings/messages. Its just a visual tree rather than a code screen.

When using RPG-Maker I always felt forced to get deeper into code with RGSS or Java, as I just didn't like how limited those engines were out of the box. Especially the battle systems. Ironically most people that use RPG-Maker very quickly start asking for features it doesn't come with and end up downloading other people's plugin-scripts to get their games to break some limitations.

I think no matter what engine you use, you'll always end up having to get down and dirty into code at some point or acquiring code from community members.

Though to conclude this discussion on my behalf, you cannot add leader-boards or score boards to the Multiplayer. Id recommend that you post it as a request on the Github for either Classic or Max.
