Hi,
How do I take advantage of the Game Maker 75% off deal. When I click on the link I still see the normal price?
thanks
Check again. It switched over about an hour ago. I already got mine 😀
Brilliant thanks, Now I have bought it and got the activation key but, what do I do know, can’t find any way activate the exporter.
any help appreciated
thanks
Make sure you have Gamemaker: Studio Professional, too, then go under “help” in the program and “update license”. That’s how it should work, anyways. For me it keeps giving an error saying it’s not valid…
Hmmm very strange. I got the Professional edition. I can’t even see the option ‘update license’
I bought my version on Steam, not sure if that is the problem ?
I did some searching and it looks like it will be a problem for this Ludum Dare. From a help page:
-Will I need individual steam keys for each module that I own?
Yes. If you have extra modules purchased for your GameMaker: Professional license, you will also require Steam Keys for each individual Module. Steam keys take 14 days to generate. Once 14 days has passed you will be able to retrieve them using our licence recovery form here: https://www.yoyogames.com/support
Found here: http://help.yoyogames.com/entries/95386287-Steam-FAQ
I think you are running into the problem I had. Go to https://account.yoyogames.com and add it to your account. Then log into your account from GameMaker (help->update license) and it will download it for you after a program restart.
Thanks! That helped me!
Please, what’s the discounted price? 49 USD?
GameMaker HTML5 Exporter! I’ll think of it xD
$50 sounds VERY tempting… Especially after that Humble Bundle deal a while back…
cInput 2 for Unity is 50% off through December 21st for Ludum Dare.
https://itch.io/s/2128/ludum-dare-34-salebration
If decide to spend $50 I don’t need to bug people on irc to compile game for html… Tempting!
My “better search for Unity” asset is now 50% off for ludum dare: u3d.as/bhq. Got 5/5 stars from the creators of TK2D and Dotween.
That link didn’t register, here it is again: http://u3d.as/bhq
I don’t see it discounted?
It was $20 until yesterday when the price change got approved. Unfortunately Unity doesn’t show the “sale” thing unless it’s a sale they organized.
I see! I’ll get it now! 😛
Thanks! Unfortunately there’s an issue with it under 5.3 that I’ll take a look at soon. It seems Unity changed something with the search but didn’t narrow it down yet.
Does it work with 5.3?
In case you want to make a tile-base game:
I’ve set a 50% discount for AutoTileGen+AutoTileSet at: https://gum.co/autotilegen/ludumdare34
Limited to just a few copies!
Thanks, I’m having a lot of fun using it! Auto-tiles look so great – I’ve always loved them.

Is PlayCanvas any good? What’s the learning curve? I’ve been using GameMaker since 2006, so just curious if I could use that with some ease.
