Welcome to the GameMaker wiki!
This wiki holds essential information about which tools/SDK versions each GameMaker release requires you to have installed, plus the setup guides for all non-console targets (for more on consoles, see the bottom of this page).
GameMaker's release notes link you here so that you can confirm you're using the correct tools and values for that version of GameMaker before you get started using it.
This wiki also contains comprehensive information on how and when to send us a bug report if you do find that something is wrong (and clarifies when we don't need you to report something).
See the page for your chosen GameMaker release in the sidebar. Use the notes documented there and follow the links to the specific versions of the various setup guides as required by that GameMaker version, to ensure your GameMaker installation is always working properly.
Note
For releases before 2024.13 you will need to use the original versions of these guides on the Helpdesk site.
You can also see the various setup guides listed in the sidebar; however, rather than using the sidebar to access them, we strongly recommend always using the links found in the specific Required SDKs page for your chosen GameMaker version.
(If you access the guides directly, then this will always be the latest content and so may give you information that is not suitable for your older GameMaker release.)
Consoles are not documented on this public wiki, due to confidentiality. Instead, you can find their wiki in each console's own private repo. Please note you will only be able to open the following links if you have already been approved for that specific platform.
To unlock access to a console (and Microsoft/Nintendo/Sony can prove you're a licensed developer on that console!), please follow our Helpdesk article on the application process for console access.
Questions about the bug-reporting system? Start with the Overview page and it will explain the process, how to search for existing reports, and why we ask you to provide all the helpful information we asked you for.
Need to send us a bug report? See the instructions for reporting bugs inside GameMaker. This comprehensive guide will walk you through exactly how to send us a high-quality report that we can investigate right away.
