Hey guys,

Just found out that Yoyogames is letting you upgrade to Standard for free (usually $50) :

GameMaker Studio version 1.2.1214 was just released, and with it comes an offer to upgrade to the Standard edition free of charge. Valued at $50, GameMaker Studio Standard is a significant improvement upon the free version of the software which imposes harsh restrictions on the resources that developers can make use of.

Additionally, developers can use their free Standard edition license to upgrade to the Professional edition for only $50 more. It’s likely that this is a time-limited offer, so if you’re using the free version of GameMaker Studio be sure to act quickly. Instructions for upgrading are listed below.

    Has this offer expired?

    EDIT: My bad, found it.

    Okay, admittedly I've been hanging around on GM8 and stuff because I've been a cheap bastard about this (and also thought, eh, probably not THAT much better a system in Studio), but I grabbed the Standard license and there's a lot of really cool stuff that feels like it'll become practically indispensable from here on.

    I feel like this is a marketing move to respond to Unity adding 2D and therefore competing with GM directly now. But, it doesn't matter. I upgraded my license last night. I'm not sure how long it will last, and I'll be damned if I'm not going to take advantage of an offer like this.

    I don't think you're far off there, but yeah I agree - it's essentially the full version. You can export standalone games to PC and Mac without the shitty "made with game maker" crap...
