Hi! I intend to purchase GameMaker Studio 2 to officially learn game development but I am having a hard time decided which one to get?
There are 4 options in "developer" Desktop, Web, UMP and Mobile. I know that UMP and Mobile are not my main interest but I am not sure if I should get Desktop or Web (or both) nor do I know if it really matters.
One thing that confuses me is if the versions are actually different or if they just export the files differently. I would hate to develop something for the Web version and have to start over on the Desktop version. Do the licenses really make a difference or are they the same program that just add different exporting options?
More specifically I wish to develop for Itch.io, Steam, Gamejolt and NewGrounds. Would Desktop work for all of them or do I need to get Web specifically for something like NG?
My apologies if this is a dumb question as I am just starting out. Any advice would be great!
