No idea why YouTube recommend this since I do not code and create games but this seems like a quality content and I am commenting right now to boost the algorithm ;>>>

Nope, did not know that. Impressive optimisation potential. Much appreciated, thank you.

Thanks! This is really helpful for what I'm making

Goddamn, this looks incomprehensible compared to the old version of game maker studio from 2012. This progressed fast from the XP styled layout

This should definitely be more well known. I made a mode7 style 3d renderer in GM for fun about a year ago that used a lot of large surfaces, I'm excited to see how much memory this saves there lol.

bro great video, really. i love it. i want to ask something, recently i made a game with gamemaker in fullscreen mode but why evertime i alt tab, the fps drop in long term? i try to search it everywhere but nothing solves the problem

Is there a way to do this in GMS 1.4? I can't find one

VRAM companies hate this one weird trick! (gone sexual)

[StephenLoney]

I'm wondering if this has any impact on the general rendering performance as well. Something for me to test out later!

Thought this was a regular show episode because of the thumbnail
