Hey, I've been a GM user since the early days. But, my current project was started in GM8 and porting it seemed to be a nightmare as it used a lot of old extensions and DLLs. So, I just never did. But, after this project is finished I will look into it. So, I have a few questions if that's alright.
1. Is support for GM8 extensions and DLLs completely gone?
2. Has GML changed much? I know GM8 changed a lot from previous versions, like view_left to view_xview. But I'm not sure how many changes Studio has undergone.
3. How hard is it to port games to other devices? Porting to android, PS4, and Xbox are of huge interest to me. But, I never know if I will finish a project, so buying those versions of studio seems like a possible waste of money until the late stages of development. But, would I need to start developing for those platforms from the very beginning? I have no idea if those versions run off of the same GML as any PC version would. I really have no idea where to start in general.
Thanks for your patience, I hope this can clear some things up for me. Any help is much appreciated.
