There aren’t many prerequisites to using software like Game Maker Studio. You will, however, need these:
- As goes with any software or coding language, patience.
- A computer, at least fast enough to play the kind of games you’re creating. YoYoGames (the creator of Game Maker) suggests at least 8GB of RAM for either Mac or Windows.
- If you’re developing for a specific device, you’ll need the device to test with.
- You’ll need to get the free trial of Game Maker Studio 2 or buy it outright.
Take into consideration before you buy Game Maker Studio as to what sort of games you’re planning on developing; with the newest addition of Game Maker Studio 2, you can now develop games for Ubuntu, PS4 and Xbox One.
