    Real fps drops greatly when creating new path

    I have a monster that follows you, using mp_potential_path_object to get to you without walking through walls. As the player can move, the monster deletes the previous path and creates a new one every 3 seconds (room_speed * 3). According to the debugger, this causes a drop in real fps whenever...

I imported it from GMS1 to 2 after working on it there for a bit, and I'm finally publishing it! Selling for 2.99 USD on...

    GameMaker Increasing the FPS with room speed but keeping the in-game speed

    Hello everyone. I'm in the middle of a conundrum. I've been working on this game for 5 years now, soon to be 6 years and for some reason when starting the development I decided that the room speed 40 was a good pick for the game. I later learned that this isn't a very optimal room speed. In...

    Performance decreases the more levels are generated/the longer the game is played, but it isn't a memory leak/ or instance count.

    Heya. The project I am working on uses procedural generation to generate it's levels. In said levels, NPCs and everything spawn. After the level is done, we wipe the current level setup, and create a new one over it. Sounds simple enough - this isn't a new concept. The problem I am running...
