The first is that the dedicated music functions (like audio_play_music()) have been obsoleted and all sound files are now treated exactly the same way. There have been two important changes made to the GMS audio system. You can find further deatils on these changes from the GMS Manual and from the YoYo Games Helpdesk. Most of these changes are internal or related to the UI, which has new options for adding files to extensions as well as new tabs in the extension properties dialogue. This means that writing your own native code extensions and using third party SDKs on those platforms (you will need to know Java for Android and Objective C for iOS) is a lot less complex, and you can also upload them to the Marketplace for sharing now. The extension system has also been upgraded in 1.4 - in part for the Marketplace, but also to make the incorporation of external SDKs and Frameworks for iOS and Android easier and more intuitive.
GMS GAME MAKER STUDIO PRO HOW TO
You can find all the information about the GameMaker: Marketplace (including guides on how to prepare your assets and upload them) from the YoYo Games Helpdesk. It is worth noting that Standard GMS users can access the Marketplace to buy or download asset packages, but to upload them you are required to have the Pro version of GMS. These packages can contain anything that you wish, including scripts, extensions, audio, sprites - basically anything that can be used as a resource in your games can be bundled as a package and uploaded to the Marketplace. From there you can log in to the Marketplace and create, download, and manage all your asset packages. It has been designed to be as easy to use as possible and you will find that in 1.4 you have a new "Marketplace" menu option in the IDE. The new GameMaker: Marketplace permits you to buy and sell (or give away for for free!) assets and extensions. However, since most users don't use the EA version, in this article we'll give you a brief run-down of what to expect from 1.4 and link to any relevant articles so you can find out more. Apart from greatly increasing the UI stability and adding new features, it also marks the official launch of the GameMaker: Marketplace! Most of the new features and changes being introduced have been discussed in previous tech blogs and were available in the Early Access version of GameMaker: Studio.

The 1.4 update to GameMaker: Studio is perhaps the most important to date.
