Game Groups > Game Engine: GameMaker

Games developed using the GameMaker toolkit, written in Delphi by Mark Overmars (now developed and distributed by YoYo Games) and first released in 1999.

The toolkit comes in both free and more advanced, paid versions. The games can be distributed both freely and commercially. Games can be created using a drag-and-drop interface or through the game's Game Maker Language (GML), similar to C. The most recent version, GameMaker: Studio, allows exporting games to many platforms, including Android, HTML5 and iOS.
