Please note that all versions of Visual Studio require you to be running at least Windows 7 with SP1. For older versions, see lower down this page.Visual Studio Community 2019 can be found here.
Visual Studio Community 2022 can be found here. To do that, first of all, you MUST check which versions of Visual Studio are supported in your versions of GameMaker by checking the Required SDKs FAQ. However, if you wish to compile using Windows YYC, or if you are using the Mac IDE to do your builds, then you will need to do a couple of additional steps.īefore you can build any YYC versions of your projects you will be required to download and install Visual Studio. When compiling for Windows VM on a PC, GameMaker requires no further setup, as VM builds do not require Visual Studio or any other external tools to be installed on your PC. The YYC target gives much greater optimisation and a corresponding performance boost, especially with logic-heavy games, but be aware projects will take more time to compile. The performance of this target is less optimised than YYC, but it is faster to compile and offers the ability to run in debug mode (if you target YYC and try to do a debug run, GameMaker will notify you that the build will be completed using VM instead). The VM option will build your game and use interpreted code within a special YoYo Runner. YYC - This will build your game using compiled native code. VM - This will build your game using interpreted code. (If you previously had a free licence, then you will be used to seeing the "Test" target here, but this psuedo-target will no longer be listed once you have purchased a GameMaker subscription.)įor the Windows target platform you can see that there are two output options: The Remote Worker is no longer supported as of January 2022 and has already been removed from GameMaker in 2022.1.0, so information about the Remote Worker should be treated as legacy.Īfter installing and running GameMaker on a PC you should be able to test projects immediately using the "Windows VM" target using the Targets Manager window, located in the top right of the main GM workspace: 
Please note, the Remote Worker which Mac IDE users could previously use to do their Windows builds remotely can only be found if you are using GMS2 2.3.7 (Dec 2021) or older. In this article we give the required steps to get the Windows platform up and running in the Windows IDE. GameMaker's Creator subscription (and above) comes with three desktop export platforms: Windows, Mac and Ubuntu.
