Wtf does this do

This repository holds the GML code, GameMaker Language, for the author's first ever finished project made in GameMaker, an engine commonly used to build 2D games without deep low level programming. The topics attached to the repository indicate it is meant to be a role playing game, an RPG, and this is explicitly described as the author's very first commit to GitHub. The README itself is short and personal rather than technical. It does not describe what the game does, how to play it, what systems or mechanics it includes, or how to open and run the project in GameMaker Studio. There is no install guide, no list of features, and no license mentioned. What it does say is that the author is new to GitHub and is sharing this code specifically to get feedback, hoping that other developers who look at it will comment on what is good, what could be improved, and any general advice for getting better as a game developer. Because the source material is this sparse, most of what a visitor can learn comes from the file name and topic tags rather than the text itself. The language tag confirms the code is written in GameMaker Language, the scripting language built into the GameMaker engine, which developers use to define how characters move, how combat or dialogue works, and how the different parts of a role playing game fit together. Since the README does not go into those mechanics, it would be a mistake to guess at specific features, so none are described here beyond what the topics suggest, namely that this is an early stage, learner level RPG prototype. For anyone visiting the repository, the most useful entry point is likely to be the actual GML script files themselves rather than any documentation, since none exists yet, and reaching out to the author with feedback, which is exactly what they are asking for.
