The Best Tool trophy for GMRoomLoader just arrived last night! There's something special about holding a physical object as the result of work that only ever exists on a screen. Thank you to everyone who voted, and to the @gamemaker.io team for making this happen! #GameMaker

GMRoomLoader just won Best Tool at the 2025 @gamemaker.io Awards! 🎉 I'm honestly blown away, especially with such tough competition this year. Thank you so much to everyone who voted and supported the library! And congratulations to all the other winners and nominees!

Congrats on the first public Alpha, Joe! 🎉 I've been helping with backend systems, and we've been using my libraries GMRoomLoader, Figgy, and Lookout a lot. Dungeon building is similar to Blue Prince, with GMRoomLoader handling room previews and loading. Made with @gamemaker.io, check it out!

Today's the last day to vote for GMRoomLoader! If you've ever used it and found it helpful, or just want to support open-source #GameMaker libraries, I'd really appreciate your vote! ❤️ Vote here: opr.as/GMA25-Vote

added a new debug room select menu, with preview screenshots thanks to @glebtsereteli.bsky.social's GMRoomLoader :) idk how many people care about debug systems like this but i think its very fun to see how games work and shit, and this has already been immensely useful

Submitting one #GameMaker library for @tabularelf.com's #gmcookbook jam was somehow not enough for me, so here's another one! Lookout is a set of helpful Debug Overlay views for monitoring game systems and tracking down elusive issues in @gamemaker.io. glebtsereteli.itch.io/lookout

We're also using Figgy in @indiegameclinic.bsky.social's game DirtWorld! See Joe talk about it in his latest devlog: youtu.be/ZrjbnISKY58?...

Hey #GameMaker devs! I just released my second @gamemaker.io library called Figgy for @tabularelf.com's fifth #gmcookbook library jam! Figgy is a centralized, persistent and live-editable config manager that lets you seamlessly tune and balance your games! glebtsereteli.itch.io/figgy

GMRoomLoader has been nominated for Best Tool at the #GameMaker Awards for the SECOND YEAR IN A ROW! 🎉 I'm so proud of how far the library has come, and it's truly an honor to be listed among such amazing tools. Please vote for GMRoomLoader if it's been useful to you! opr.as/GMA25-Vote

GMRoomLoader made it to the Shortlist last year, and it would be amazing to win this time around! It has grown a lot since then, especially with the recent v2 release. If you feel like the library deserves it, please consider nominating it in the Best Tool category! #GameMaker

Last week I released a major v2 update for my #GameMaker library GMRoomLoader, used for loading room contents at runtime! It brings massively improved documentation, a revamped demo with an ImGui interface, a full PascalCase API overhaul, and many new features - listed below.

The first Cookbook really motivated me to finish and release my first library, GMRoomLoader. I highly recommend joining this one if you've got a new library idea or something that's been sitting on the backburner for a while. Great chance to put it out there and get some eyes on it! #GameMaker

#GameMaker Well, now it's a trilogy. This last one (for now) displays room history and helps you make sure your transitions and room flow are set up correctly. Just the debug overlay version this time: gist.github.com/glebtseretel...

#GameMaker And here's a little follow-up. This one displays the amount of instances per object, sorted in descending order. Objects with 0 instances are ignored. Overlay: gist.github.com/glebtseretel... ImGui_GM: gist.github.com/glebtseretel...

Hey #GameMaker devs! Here are 2 quick functions for displaying the ResourceCounts data you can fetch from the debug_event() function - one for the built-in GM debug overlay, another for @nomm.dev's ImGui_GM. Super helpful for tracking down memory leaks! Links below 👇
