Game Maker 8
The eighth version of the Game Maker game creator, no longer supported by the developers, but fully compatible with Windows 7, 8, and 10. Works perfectly with Xtreme3D and can open project files from older versions of Game Maker. The archive does not include standard sprites and other resources.
Note: Game Maker 8.0 does not support Game Maker 8.1 project files, prior conversion is required. Find the converter below. Additionally, some games may have issues running on Windows 10. We recommend using the gm8x_fix patcher, you can find it on this page below.
Game Maker 8 - Russian Translation
Russian locale for Game Maker 8.0 + Russian translation of the help file. To install, copy the files from the archive (Game_Maker.RUS, Game_Maker.chm) to the program's installation folder. Just in case, don't forget to make a backup copy first.
LateralGM
An alternative editor for GM projects for all versions, from 5.3 to Studio. It includes all the necessary features, making it much more comfortable to work with than the original Game Maker. The program is written in Java and requires the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run.
GMEdit
Alternative code editor for Game Maker: Studio, including partial support for Game Maker 8.
ENIGMA
ENIGMA (Extensible Non-Interpreted Game Maker Augmentation) - проект по созданию свободной реализации Game Maker, с LateralGM в качестве редактора и GML-подобным языком, который транслируется в C++ для компиляции в машинный код, за счет чего движок работает очень быстро. ENIGMA способна запускать большинство простых GM-проектов и даже частично совместима с Xtreme3D.
OpenGMK
Free implementation of Game Maker 8 runtime. It allows to run compiled GM games under all platforms.
GM Decompiler 2.1
Executable decomiler for Game Maker 5, 6 and 7, and also GEX extensions. Written in Java and requires JRE to run.

GMConverter
A converter for Game Maker 8.1 project files to 8.0 format. It is very helpful for source file exchange.
GM Game Converter
There's a common misconception that old GM games can no longer run on newer Windows, but that's not true. YoYo Games released a special patcher for EXE files compiled in Game Maker 6, which adds compatibility with Windows Vista and above. So, if you find a game that doesn't work, try using this converter. There's no absolute guarantee, but it works in most cases.
gm8x_fix
A patch that fixes several issues with launching GM8 games under Windows 10. Specifically, it removes the dependency on DirectPlay (the system prompt to install DirectPlay will not appear at launch), fixes an issue with games slowing down immediately after launch, a bug with incorrect joystick support, and some other issues.
Extmaker
A software package for creating GEX extensions (Extension Maker) and LIB libraries (Library Maker) for Game Maker 7.
Gmk-Splitter
A utility for unpacking Game Maker 8 project files (.gmk / .gm81). It extracts all data, scripts, and resources, saving them to disk, and can then repackage back into project file. A very useful tool for a variety of purposes: for example, if you're exploring the contents of a complex project, storing a project in version control systems, or want to programmatically generate a project file.
The program is written in Java and requires the JRE (Java Runtime Environment) to run.
Marzipan
A 3D model converter for Game Maker-readable formats. Specifically, Marzipan supports importing VTX, OBJ, 3DS, and X files, and can save models to GM 6.0 and 6.1 scripts, ASCII DAT files containing vertex data, the well-known open OBJ format, HTML and XML tables, GML arrays, and a compact format convenient for storing collision models. It also offers a wide range of additional tools, including object transformation, a UV coordinate editor, batch conversion, and more.
Penguin
A model converter for current versions of GameMaker. Essentially, a modern equivalent of Marzipan. Imports OBJ, 3DS, FBX, GLTF, and other formats, exports to a raw buffer for loading using the buffer_load function. It also allows you to transform the model and flip texture coordinates before exporting. The program comes with a yymps package with a model loading script.
MoveNow!
A program for skeletal animation of humanoid characters. It features a built-in skeleton, which can be used to create any sequence of movements. The bones rotate along all three axes and can also be lengthened and shortened to achieve various skeleton proportions. You can save the skeleton shape as an MSS (MoveNow Skeleton Shape) file. The finished animation is saved as an MNS (MoveNow Single Sequence) file, and a group of these files can be compiled into a single MNC (MoveNow Complete Sequence) file, which will be used in game.
POTV2 Model Converter 2
Another once-popular model converter for GM, a direct alternative to Marzipan. It was created in 2005 by Improbable Games for the development of Planet of the Vegetables. It supports loading VTX, OBJ, GML scripts, and GML models (MPV, MOD). It provides full export of GML 6.1 D3D models (MPV, MOD), GML 6.1 D3D model scripts (GML), and GML 6.0 D3D primitive scripts (GML). It supports viewing and exporting UV coordinate maps, smooth normal generation, and various model rendering modes. The archive includes the source code for Game Maker 6.
Particle Designer 2
At one time, this was the most powerful visual particle editor for Game Maker 6. It supports all GM particle components: particles themselves, emitters, attractors, deflectors, changers, and destroyers. It offers numerous settings for each component, plus the ability to write and test system code in the built-in text editor. It also includes tools for creating a random system, copying data to the clipboard, rendering static screenshots, and even animated GIFs. External particle sprites, hotkeys, fullscreen mode, and much more are supported. The resulting system can be exported as a GML script and used in-game. The author announced the development of a third version of Particle Designer for Game Maker: Studio, but this project appears to have stalled.
