For the love of all that is holy, do not use GameMaker with a touchpad. * If you’re using a laptop and plugging the monitor into it, make sure you have a mouse. Two good-value options for ~$100 are a 23'-24' 1080p monitor or a 32' 720p TV (a good choice for Switch fans :) ). You need the additional screen real estate to use GameMaker efficiently and comfortably. Don’t worry about the laptop’s screen size or resolution for GameMaker purposes as you will be connecting the laptop to a desktop monitor. If you need to get a computer, get the cheapest Windows 10 laptop you can find that has an SSD and 8gb of RAM. * Make sure your computer meets the GameMaker Studio 2 system requirements. You will also need to pay a one-time $100 app fee, which will cover your first app id (a unique number associated with your game each game you want to release through Steam will need its own $100 id). Steam takes multiple days to verify your financial info, and the process may take even longer if you decide you need to form a company before registering. Pre-prerequisites (~5–30 *days* $100+) * Become a Steamw orks partner Consult the Getting Started section at /doc for detailed instructions.
