Learn More about GameMaker

GameMaker Studio 2 is the latest and greatest incarnation of GameMaker.

Making games development accessible to everyone means taking away the barriers to getting started. GameMaker has everything you need to take your idea from concept to finished game.

Using the intuitive 'Drag and Drop' development environment you can have your game up and running in a matter of minutes without ever having to write any code! GameMaker's built-in language (GML) helps you learn to program as you go and not jump in at the deep end of coding.

It's perfect for game jams. Try for free today!

This was my first time participating, and I really enjoyed it! I guess that's all there is to say, besides that I am definitely participating again for the next gm48!

gm(48) is an awesome program run by awesome people. I had an awesome time with the 27th gm(48), even if I wasn't satisfied with my game.

Game jams like this don't only teach you new skills about new game-making skills and techniques, but they also teach you how to create a finished product, a skill which many (especially I) could always use to be more proficient in.

You'll learn more from gm(48) than you will from any other game-making experience.

GameMaker users will surprise themselves with how much they learn and create in 48 hours.

The gm(48) is a great challenge with an amazing community and quality games resulting from it.
