Post by: Theforeshadower on November 28, 2013, 12:58:55 am: Just a notice: If you have NAY version of Game Maker Studio already installed, you have to uninstall them, then delete Windows Registry entries for GM Studio and 5tudio. This completely removes your Free and MIPS licenses from your system.

If you don't, everytime you try to reinstall GMS it will automatically use your old license. There was no guide for this. I had to dig around my registry manually as I suspected that was the issue.

Waiting to see if the author will approve my posts on his comments about this.

I do not know if I will do this but it is worth considering; not sure how I would use the added features. Maybe some of you received the same email?

Post by: Theforeshadower on December 03, 2013, 05:33:00 pm: I got the same email as well. It upgrades the platform of GMS so that you can add modules later if you need them.

Team features aren't bad, I guess. It seems more of a teaser for Master than anything else though.

I upgraded. $25 isn't bad at all. I make that in a couple hours now. xD
