It’s been almost 25 years since Dutch professor Mark Overmars created GameMaker, a game engine primarily devoted to 2D graphics and sprites. While major engines like Unity and Unreal Engine also offer 2D tools in addition to cutting-edge visuals, GameMaker keeps things simple with its drag-and-drop visual scripting tool. Its 2D focus has helped small teams create incredible experiences like Hyper Light Drifter, Hotline Miami, Chicory: A Colorful Tale, and Undertale.

Hello! I’m making a component and I want to know how it is possible to update the label value in the editor during development? For example, this would also be convenient when you want the game to have interface design themes and you could preview the themes immediately in the editor without starting the game each time, in order to waste less time. Just example: @property(Node) labelNode : Node = null; @property prefixSymbol : string = '#'; changeLabelPrefix() { let labelComponent =.
