YoYo Games has a track record of listening to the community’s suggestions and feedback to bring highly requested quality-of-life improvements to their userbase.

In addition to these changes, the 2.0.6 update also sees some improvements in the following areas:

  • Improved functionality for the Mac IDE
  • A number of important fixes for HTML5 game exports
  • Changes to the standard naming convention for ease of readability

If you’ve never used GameMaker Studio 1.4 or 2, you can download a free trial from the YoYo Games website or on Steam. The desktop version is currently retailing for $99.99.
