     [SUGGESTION] Per-Layer Depth

    So, as we know it, depth isn't really a thing anymore. I guess it technically exists for 1.X compatibility, but also to make those isometric/other games with depth ordering - y'know, where the "closer" thing appears on top. Well, I've been experimenting, and come to the conclusion that using...

     [Suggest] A problem on variable completion

    Wow, GMS 2 really amazed me,lol. I'm also astonished at the auto-completion on user-defined variables. However , could it give users an option that allows code editor's auto-completion only detect the instance variables defined in Create Event, so that we can check our spelling mistakes in time...

     The Start Page

    I am posting a series of articles on my website as I explore and discover things in the GMS2 beta that I find noteworthy. Last night, I posted this on the Start Page: There are two main issues that I have with the new Start Page. The image slide show. It takes up a lot of space, serves no...

    Discussion Function name shortening

    Would it be possible to shorten some of the names for the functions? For example variable_<function> to var_<function> Save some on typing and screen space? Just a suggestion, you may have a reason for the longer names.

    Discussion [ Suggestion ] Parameter Description?

    Hello fellow beta testers ( and you too yoyogames! ). I am super happy to see javadoc integration in GameMaker! I would hence like to make a suggestion: Currently, the documentation is exactly as it was in GM:S 1.4, with the current addition of description and parameter description. But I...

    Suggestion Game Maker Can Be Even More!

    Hi, it's my first thread in the forum, let me tell you my suggestions and first expressions about Game Maker Studio. First of all, it's very good tool that allows you to make a game pretty fast, especially when you are using an internal programming language. In two days I managed to make a...

    Suggestion Please expand coverage on API integrations + extensions

    Following the libPNG fix, I think YoYo really needs a sprint or two dedicated to extensions, API upgrades and related documentation. Reasons: The runtimes for Flash and Spine are way out of date, suffer from serious performance issues and constantly get flak from people who use them. The...

    Suggestion Poll: Should users be allowed to freely create polls?

    I would love polls! They're very useful! I think other people would also like them! MOD EDIT: Offensive tags removed. Don't do that.

    better debug overlay

    Would it be too inconvenient to have a patch for a better overlay? Something like with Ms timing per step per measured resource, and the scale bar could be enlarged to be bigger or separated into individual resources? Maybe control the update intervals? Seeing this tiny 6 pixel bar in the...

    Suggestion Setting a limit to the height of signatures?

    This isn't a bug, so I assumed it wouldn't fall under "issue with new forum," more of a suggestion. On the old forums, you couldn't have a signature bigger than like 170 pixels or something, but I don't think there is a rule for that anymore, so you end up with threads that are massive just...

    Suggestion Next game maker version suggestion

    Alright, so for the next game maker version (I think it's called game maker: next?) they are supposed to be adding a ton of cool things and kind of remaking the style of game maker. My suggestion for this new version of game maker, if they're not already planning it, is WAY more 3D functionality...

    Suggestion Additions to the forum

    Maybe a subforum where you can post unfinished projects for other people to finish them, so that great game ideas can be finished more, is a good addition to the Gamemaker forum? Also, I'd love to see a Game Engine subforum for free and paid engines to start with. Just an idea...
