Creator edition is available for $39 per year on Windows and Mac (each being a separate purchase per platform).
Creator edition offers the following functionality:
- Unlimited Resources
- Integrated Source Control
- Texture Management
- SWF / Spine Support
- Extensions
- Marketplace
- Windows Export
It is worth noting that the Creator Licence will not permit you to change the Splash Screen of your projects, nor can you disable anonymous game analytics, and your executables will be compiled using the VM with no YYC option. You do, however, get access to the Marketplace where you can find assets of all kinds, or even make and sell your own.
The Creator licence is a 12 month non-renewing licence, and at the end of the 12 month period you will need to buy another licence to continue using GMS2 fully. The Licence is designed for hobby developers or for people that just want to have fun making small projects for themselves, as well as those people that want to learn to use the product without having to pay a larger initial amount.
The creator edition is currently available on the store.
