Stuart Poole, the General Manager of YoYo Games, told SGN: GameMaker Studio 2 version 2.3 combines easy-to-use drag-and-drop tools, tutorials and game assets with the powerful GameMaker Language (GML) and advanced, professional functionality, like the physics engine, particles and advanced shaders.

GameMaker enables experienced and novice video game developers alike to create the games they imagine. In addition to the streamlined new project format, the latest update also sees the Resource Tree replaced with the Asset Browser, in a significant IDE upgrade which offers developers a completely redesigned way to create, manage, tag and filter their assets. Used in conjunction with another new top-level feature, Animation Curves, Sequences enables artists to unleash their creativity to create dynamic animations and cut-scenes, all without needing a coder to change every pixel. One of the most anticipated new features is Sequences – an easy-to-use tool for adding sound and animation to visual assets. The update comes packed with a host of improvements to the GameMaker Language (GML) and Integrated Development Environment (IDE), alongside a raft of new features designed to make creating games as easy and accessible as possible. Now YoYo Games, the company behind the GameMaker has released GameMaker Studio 2 version 2.3 – the biggest update of the technology since the release of GameMaker Studio 2.
