- ScribbleBox: Another gem by JujuAdams, Scribblebox is a combination of Scribble and Chatterbox. Scribble handles the text rendering, and Chatterbox handles dialogue. I write dialogue in a program called Crochet, which saves your dialogue in a .yarn file that Chatterbox can import into Gamemaker. Learning Yarn was a bit of a process but wasn't hard. I can even use Input to make text clickable with the mouse, which was a huge pain without it. If your game has much dialogue, I strongly recommend it.

Input 6 - Comprehensive cross-platform input manager - now in stable release
Input is a commercial-grade library and is being used in Shovel Knight: Pocket Dungeon and Samurai Gunn 2 and many other titles. It has extensive documentation to help you get started. Inputs strips away the boring repetitive task of getting controls set up perfectly and accelerates the development of your game.

I'm new to Gamemaker, can someone tell me why the gamepads inputs are not being detected?
Do yourself a favour and check out / use Input by Juju Adams.

- Input: The game works seamlessly with controller or mouse and keyboard. I used JujuAdams' Input 5 to handle inputs from various controllers. Setting up key rebinding was easy and is good for accessibility. It's great for multiplayer and cross-platform, if I decide to do those later. I wish I had known about Input a long time ago.

GMS2 looks like it's giving me completely the wrong key codes?
If you haven’t seen it yet, I’d look into Input. It’s had an amazing amount of work put into it to make it as compatible as possible with input devices, has keybindings, etc. Definitely a timesaver when it comes to player input.

Keyboard check for - and = (below F keys, to the right of 9 and 0 on a UK Querty keyboard)
Turns out that this is a harder question to answer than you might expect. Input has a bunch of tools that you might find useful, but if you want the specific solution for keyboard constants that GM doesn't have natively then you'll find it here.
