Does GameMaker Studio 2 send any data to YoYo Games? GameMaker Studio sends analytics data to YoYo Games from the IDE. This includes data about the PC running the program (eg: monitor size, CPU, GPU, memory, etc), and this data is being accumulated so that we can better target our services towards the needs of the user. One of first questions ever when starting with GameMaker: Studio is how does one open pre-Studio GameMaker projects (such as GameMaker 8.1, GameMaker 8.0, 7, 6.x, 5.x.). If you got here from search, you probably already tried opening these by dragging them over the program window or attempting to pick these from 'Open' menu which. Jul 01, 2017 I just bought GameMaker Studio 2 via Steam and I already have a problem, Before buying it I have read that it is possible to import old files from GameMaker 8/8.1 for example into GameMaker Studio 2. But now it seems like it is not possible. If I press 'Import' there is no option to select.gmk. In the second download option I have included the.gm81 source file, the.exe and an older.gmk file for Game Maker 8 (this is in case you don't have GM 8.1) In the third download option the only thing included is the game. This is for people who just want to play the game and are not interested in editing it.

If you got here from search, you probably already tried opening these by dragging them over the program window or attempting to pick these from 'Open' menu which does not allow to switch file types. Thus you are probably thinking something in the lines of this now:

But no, of course it isn't that bad (why would someone do this to you?), and you can get your projects running in GameMaker: Studio by importing them. This posts explains how and why.

Why

GameMaker used to be a pretty small program, developed in age of other small programs. For many versions projects remained single files with all resources packed within. And it all would be good, but single-file project structure also comes the other problem: access time. If project reaches many megabytes in size, whole amount of data is going to be re-written to harddrive whenever you save it.
GameMaker: Studio, on other hand, uses folder-driven project structure with separate files resembling information about separate resources. This allows quite faster I/O for larger projects, as well as enabling features like team collaboration. A downside is (obviously), that there folders of files are going to be stored somewhere.
I'd throw a guess that projects are not being converted into Studio format automatically to prevent spontaneous creation of more and more folders upon attempts to open files with GameMaker:Studio.

How

Despite of process being fairly straight-forward, many people still completely overlook it. Process is as following:

1. Open GameMaker: Studio 'start screen' (commonly seen upon opening new instance of program).

2. Switch to 'Import tab':

3. Click 'file type' field and switch it's value to permit GM6/GMK/GM81 files:

4. Either navigate to needed file using the interface, or click '...' button to open a typical file dialog.

5. Pick location 'Project Directory' for your project folder to be created in. Maybe pick one where you could find it later.

6. Click 'Import' to complete the process and import project file to GameMaker: Studio

A new window with now-GameMaker-Studio project will open afterwards.
It might not run without errors right away, but that's another story, and some time to be spent. But it's often totally worth it.
Hopefully this was useful.

This is the big one - Sonic.EXE Version 666 is the biggest update to the game since its release! Re-written from scratch on an entirely new engine with better graphics, audio quality, re-imagined sequences, system-wide stability fixes and more - this is the definitive Sonic.EXE experience!
There are many new things to discover in the game. While some may be apparent, others require a little digging. Word to the wise: EXPLORE. Return to previous areas of each stage after you've had a look around - who knows what might have popped up during your absence?
Alright, since no one else seems to have bothered doing this, I'm going to.
In short, I've recreated Sonic.EXE - given the creepy tale some life at last as a true .EXE file
For those who don't know about the creepypasta in question: http://creepypasta.wikia.com/wiki/Sonic.exe
This is not for the faint of heart. And if you're smart - play it in the dark. You know you want to. Or else, he'll come for you.~
The game took about 3 days to whip up, and is not a full representation of my programming ability - it was simply something I made for a laugh. I never expected it to come this far since the original release. Bear that in mind. As I've now moved onto using alternative technologies, I'll still keep this thread updated with any new itteration of the game that are released - but sadly, I've moved on from GE for the most part. Mainly due to compatibility with what I'm learning in Uni. But GE will always be important to me as my first real forray into the Indie Developer scene.
