Project Cleaner for GameMaker Studio 2

Project Cleaner

Every time you duplicate something in your project in GameMaker Studio 2, for some reason it keeps an unused copy of that asset’s metadata, if you duplicate this same asset again two unused copies will be kept, if you duplicate it once again you will be left with 3 copies and so on… you get where this is going, right?

Doing this multiple times can make your project unnecessarily big, and since there are many small files, it can become a problem when importing / exporting your entire project when really needed.

For this reason I made this application, it simply scans and removes all unused .yy files from your project. Here a comparison of how effective it can be depending on how big your project is:

Comparison

63,8mb (22.683 files) -> 25,5mb (12.888 files).

Be aware that this is the first release, I only tested it with my own projects, make a backup of yours before using it. Feedback is welcome. 💌

Introducing gdProject

It's been a while since my last post, hasn't it? I just want to say that although I was (and still am) quite busy working on multiple things, I didn't put this blog aside. I've been tweaking a lot of things here and there and making sure all pages were up to date during this period. This blog still remains an essential part of my online presence. With that out of the way, let's dive into today's topic. About gdProject If you are a long time follower of mine on social medias you are probably aware that in early 2022 my friendship with GameMaker ended and Godot became my best friend for reasons that were partially reverted way too late . After getting familiar with the engine itself and feeling comfortable using its scripting language, I decided to make something similar to yyProjects , but for Godot! A handful of add-ons in this repository were originally designed to help me develop UniStudio (If you've been living under a rock, I ported the game f

UniMaker DX source code is now public!

The source code for UniMaker DX (the version with the pixel art UI) is now available on my GitHub : https://github.com/ninstar/UniMaker Since I started the transition to UniStudio some people have asked me if I would make the source code for UniMaker DX public, as it is considerably different from UniStudio and previous versions. I said that I would eventually do, so here we are. 🎵 I haven’t done this sooner because I didn’t have enough free time to go through my entire commit history (which is pretty huge if you ask me). 💦 As this is just the source code, keep in mind that it is not meant for most users. In addition to that, the link above does not include the source code for UniStudio, it is still being worked on its own repository. UniMaker 1.S is still the latest stable version. It is preferable that you use that version to create and share your courses.

Adding custom theme to a course Pick the "?" theme and save your course; Create a folder and move the course and theme files into it; Go back to the editor and load your course file again. Enabling effect layers To enable effect layers, just click on the cat icon . This will only work if there is at least one effect layer file in the same folder as the course. You can also use effect layers on any built-in theme. Enabling custom songs on built-in themes Open the audio menu and then click on the "?" button.
