    Development How do YOU decide if a game you're working on is to ambitious for you and a discontinuation of your game needs to be done?

    Pretty much what the title says and, I've been working on my game for a good while now. Roughly the beginning of 2020 on and off. I'm sure I've stuck in a few hundred hours or more into it by now. I've been trying to get a playable version of the game released since the end of 2020 and have...

    (SOLVED)Looking for ideas, suggestions and so forth on how I should manage my persistent code.

    In my current project I have to keep track of numerous changing numbers. i.e cash, statistics, etc. I am currently planning on placing all of this code in a single object and making it persistent. Would this be a good idea? What do you recommend? Thanks.

    Games like Tomba?

    I thought this was a great style for a game type. Its not exactly an RPG but definetly a jump'n'run.. The way missions get solved was never executed the same way in other games. I think thats a great way though.. I really do recommend getting an emulator for PSone and try it yourself. Also I...

    GML Jumping into Corner Causes Game to Freeze

    This is my first time posting on the Gamemaker Forums. I'm working on a platformer game, and when the player jumps into a corner at some specific angles, it causes the game to freeze. This problem has only started to occur when I added jumping rotation in. I am very new to Gamemaker and I am...

    Audio effects suggestion!

    It doesn't seem like audio is even considered in future updates other than small things like generators and sample editors. I noticed that many game engines have more complex audio mixers that allow adding effects like EQ, LowPass, HighPass, Chorus, Reverb, etc. All of that is supported by...

     [suggestion] option in preferences for Ctrl+Tab to default to workspaces

    Hey gang -- I love GMS2 and this is an incredibly minor issue. It's not even an issue, just something I thought of today that might save a few folks some time. From an outsider's perspective, it seems like it would be pretty simple to implement, but who knows. I would love an option in...

     8 Ideas on how to improve the debugger

    Idea: make data structures use hash id instead of integer id. Reason: this makes it so data structures don't get misinterpreted as reals and reals don't get misinterpreted as data structures. Idea: make hash data special for the type of data structure it is. Reason: this makes it so that data...

     [Suggestion] Auto-generate tiles for the Auto-Tiling tool.

    Hello! The new built-in auto-tiling tool is amazing, but is there some built-in auto-generator of the 47 and 16 tiles needed for auto-tiling? That would be quite useful. For example, for generating those 47 tiles I think you only need 5 of them: The idea is that the user provides those 5...

    Discussion Access to Sprite layers?

    This is just a random thing I thought of when messing with 2.x. I thought it would be cool to be able to access layers of sprites to do things like change the alpha or toggling visibility completely. Is there some things under the hood that are happening that makes this not possible? I just...

    Question - IDE My list for Studio 2, curious to get all of your opinions as well..

    Aight, so I recently bought GMS2, and for the most part, I love it, but I've been having a few issues. I'd love to get some of them at least addressed. Image Editor -the copy-paste brush feature is almost unusable, it would be useful if it was more like GMS1.4. (I could see situations where...
