Here we talk about how you can distribute your finished game.
With the information in the preceding sections of this manual you can begin to create your games, but when your game is finished you obviously want other people to play it. You can of course export a *.gmz file and let them use GameMaker: Studio to play it but this is normally not what you want! First of all, you don't want others to be able to change the game or get access to all your hard work, and secondly you also want people to play the game even if they do not have a copy of GameMaker: Studio. So you would like to create a stand-alone application or package of your game, or upload it as HTML5 to a site on the internet so that everyone can play it!
In order to utilize GameMaker: Studio's Mac support you will need to first prepare GameMaker:Studio and a Mac computer for use as well as fulfil a couple of prerequisites from Apple. To make things easier we have outlined below all the necessary steps for you to take in this setup process. Construct 3 is the best software to create games. Over 100,000 users monthly make & sell thousands of games globally.
Free Full Version Download for GameMaker Studio. Instillation instructions: 1. Download our zip archive from the link below and unzip it with 7-zip or equivalent un-zipping program.

GameMaker: Studio will create a.dish file which you will then need to prepare in the Application Oven app on a Mac. This will then generate your iOS or Mac app for you.
Creating Your Stand Alone Game
3d Game Creator Free
Creating stand-alone applications is very easy with GameMaker: Studio. First you have to choose the 'target' for the files to be made which means choosing whether you wish to create an *.exe for Windows, generate JavaScript and HTML for use in a browser, or create a package for one of the other target modules. Each of the individual targets has their own settings and you must ensure that they are correctly configured in the Global Game Settings and Preferences before you continue.
Once everything is correct, you then go into the File menu and select the item Create Executable or you can press the following button, found on the main IDE toolbar beside the Play and Debug buttons:
Create Executable For Target
Either option will open a save window where you can give the final name that you wish to use for your game file. Once you have done this, the necessary files will be generated so that you can distribute it as you wish.
NOTE: Before doing a final build of your project for release, you should always clear the Asset Compiler Cache (using the green 'broom' icon at the top of the IDE) to ensure that all cached files are recreated and no stale files corrupt your final game.
Target Platform Formats
Each target option saves to a platform specific format:
- If you have the setting as 'Windows' in the main GameMaker: Studio window, then only a Windows compatible file will be made. This can be an installer, a stand-alone *.exe or a *.zip. The export file type is chosen from a drop-down menu within the 'Save' dialogue itself, as shown by the image below: Please note that the 'Single Runtime Exe' is designed for use only for quick testing and should not be used for distribution (use the Zip or Installer options). When creating a single EXE you can get issues when saving files and it may not run on certain machine conficurations.
- If you have chosen to build HTML5, then an index.html (default name, but you can give your own name too) along with a folder containing your game's files will be created and saved to the specified location. For your game to work you will need both of these to be uploaded to a server. The index.html can also be customised to show your game with a different background colour, or at a different position etc... but a knowledge of the HTML language is necessary for this (see the HTML5 Tab of the Global Game Settings).
- For Android devices, a *.apk file will be generated which can be used directly on any Android devices or uploaded to the Google Play or Amazon stores (or any other site that accepts Android apps).
- For an iOS or Mac build you will need all the appropriate developer permissions and an Apple Mac computer. GameMaker: Studio will create a *.dish file which you will then need to prepare in the Application Oven app on a Mac. This will then generate your iOS or Mac app for you.
- If you have bought GameMaker: Studio through Steam then you can also compile to the Steam Workshop. For more information see here.
Please note: GameMaker: Studio uses a C++ runner to create all final games and apps. The previous GameMaker versions used Delphi, so this means that any game imported from previous versions may not work without certain changes.
For further information on how to compile a final game for your target platform, and for details on how to upload these to the various app stores available, please see the YoYo Knowledge Base.
Distribution
Once you have created a stand-alone application or package for your game you can then give the file to other people or place it on your website to download. You can also upload these files to the different hosting services for individual distribution or to online stores (like Google Play, iTunes or the MS Store) for general distribution and retail.
Further information on these formats and file creation can be found on the YoYo Knowledge Base.
You are free to distribute the games you create with GameMaker: Studio in any way you like, and this means that you can even sell them! Of course, this assumes that the sprites, images, and sounds you used to make it can be distributed or sold as well and that you have the legal rights to all assets. See the enclosed license agreement for more information on this (available on the Licences Tab).

GameMaker is an all-in one game creation system for Mac OS 7.5 and up (including Mac OS X), written by Al Staffieri Jr. and first released in 1995. Insignia drivers download. As of August 2011, the software is still under active production; the most recent release is version 3.9.95.[1]
Functionality[edit]
As compared with the action-oriented design of the three similarly named game design packages (by Garry Kitchen, RSD, and Mark Overmars), Staffieri's GameMaker is a card-based system, focused on the design of graphical adventure games. The software works on a few levels; beginners can snap together a game by clicking a few buttons, and advanced users can turn to Staffieri's proprietary scripting language.
Reception and impact[edit]
GameMaker is distinguished as the first exclusively Macintosh-based game creation system, and is notable both for its long popularity on the platform and for its influence on beginning coders and designers — such as Pocket Lead Platform Developer Steve Streza.[2] As of May 19, 2019, GameMaker is among CNET's most popular downloads in the Mac OS Adventure Games category - twenty-two years after the software's first release.[3]
