It's that time of the year again. It's the first day on the vacation, and you stumble out in the sunlight, as it slowly dawns on you that you'll have tons of time to finally get that game project going! ...if you only had some nice graphics assets. And some nice audio. And maybe some code so you don't need to fiddle around with debugging all summer instead of going to the beach.

Well, fear not, because I've got you covered! (...at least if you're making your games in Game Maker Studio, because that's the language all the code assets are in). I'm joining in the Itchio Summer Sale with a 40% discount on everything, and there's an even better deal if you actually wanna buy everything at once (which you probably don't, but hey, it's an option. No pressure!)

Highlights include the YaruDanmakuEngine that lets you script enemy waves and bosses easily using queues of scripts, MariaEngine that has a robust feature set for a plumber platformer, and Fast Furry Framework if you gotta go fast and like collecting emeralds*.
