GameMaker Studio 2.3 - Frequently Asked Questions
Did you ever want to have multiple versions of GameMaker installed at once? Ever wondered what the big deal about the "self" keyword is? Have you been looking for where the Included Files system has gone, or if there's a way to turn off alphabetical sorting in the asset browser? GameMaker Studio 2.3 has officially been out for about a week and a half, and there are some common questions about it that people have been asking. Hopefully this clear some of those up!
These are some of the more common questions I've seen; if there are many more that people have, I might do another one of these at some point. As always, check the forums, reddit and Discord if you want to know more.
