LateralGM seems like a nice free, open-source IDE that can edit Game Maker files and also works with ENIGMA, although I'm not sure if the interfaces for LateralGM and ENIGMA have any differences. It also seems faster and even supports C++. I haven't tried out ENIGMA (the site seems to be having issues, but hopefully that's temporary) yet, but from what I've seen, it seems to be like Game Maker but it's free and open-source.

I thought the author actually said that in a comment at the old YoYoGames Sandbox site. I want to say that Firestyle's games (like Super Mario Pearls of Wisdom) were actually made in a free version. From what I've heard, though, you can do a lot with just the free version of some of those old iterations of Game Maker. I know Gate, a few times, has shared a link to a website with older versions of Game Maker, but they're all free versions. Is that right? Not sure if it would really help, though, since you probably can't get that kind of license anymore, at least not legally. If I remember correctly, I think you can get the upgraded version of Game Maker 8.1 permanently, as in, you don't need to connect to the Internet to keep it. I wonder how long will it be until YoYoGames shuts down that service and then only the lite version can be used. My copy of Game Maker 8.1 has to connect to the Internet or otherwise it goes back to the lite version after some time (I think it's about a month?).

It won't be long until old versions of Game Maker won't be accessible without going to shady websites. (08-11-2021, 12:21 AM)darkblueyoshi Wrote: At this rate, MFGG should start recommending other game making programs.
