    HTML5 Suggestion: page-pixel to screen-pixel support

    Given the fact that Game Maker Studio 2 generally is so tailored towards making pixelart or other low resolution 2D games. It really should have native support to resize the game window on HTML5 such that one pixel in the game is one pixel on the screen. As it is right now, its rendered such...

    GameMaker Suggestion: Implement this solution to fix unusual behavior involving surfaces and alpha.

    Hi, all. Although I made the switch to Godot a while back and no longer use GMS2, I still thought I'd leave one suggestion that plagued me for the entirety of my development with GMS2: Surfaces and alpha. If I am simply ignorant on how GMS2 handles rendering and this is not viable, please...

    Mac OSX M1 Mac rendering issue

    Hi, I just got a new M1 Macbook and ran my game. It looks like this: On Windows, and on my previous Intel Macbook it looks fine. Does anyone have any idea about what could cause this? I suspect it's shader related but will have to dig more to figure it out. I'm hoping someone maybe has some...

    SOLVED Sprites/Textures Seem to Shiver Depending on Camera Position [Help needed]

    So I seem to be having some problems with sprite/texture rendering when I zoom the camera, or sometimes when the camera simply moves. I took this video so you can see what I mean. I have ticked the tile horizontally/vertically on the sprites but it hasn't really seemed to help. Any advice on how...

    Windows Help with subpixel rendering

    I've seen a ton of threads about this, but none of them seem to work for me. My camera dimensions are 486x243, and my viewport dimensions are 1728x864. Also, I've seen some that have something to do with the hspd and vspd, but because using that sort of script causes glitches with the player...

    Windows Anura 3D (PBR 3D Engine)

    I started working on this project as a little 3D shader experiment back in 2015 (GMS 1.4), to see how far I can go. Right after implementing a traditional per-pixel lighting system I started replacing it by PBR (Physically Based Rendering) to achieve more realistic graphics. In 2017 after...

    GML Reading the contents of a vertex bufferr

    I'm planning on creating a vertex buffer-building DLL in C++, to take advantage of multithreading while generating large and dynamic vertex buffers without editing any of GameMaker's source files (technically possible, according to this thread here). To do this, though, I need to know how Game...

    Does subpixel rendering exist in GM?
