Feather: Smarter Code
First revealed in January, Feather has gone from strength to strength during its beta, and is now a part of the 2022.6 release.
Feather improves GameMaker’s Code Editor by adding intelligent code completion and smarter syntax checking.
It automatically assigns data types to your variables, to ensure proper usage of functions and prevent errors. It also shows you the details and types for functions and their parameters:
With Feather’s “Quick Fix”, you can solve common GML problems through the Feather icon menu, or by pressing CTRL+Q. Adjust the rules to your liking.
Feather also adjusts its auto-complete information based on context, so writing obj_player. will first show you variables from the player in the drop-down list. The same applies to structs, which may be created from constructors.
Read about all the Feather features in the manual, such as Find All References, refactoring, and more.
Feather is disabled by default. Enable it in the Preferences, under Feather Settings.
Exciting New Filters
2022.6 adds five new Filters to the Room Editor:
- Zoom Blur
- Vignette
- Boxes
- Colour Balance
- RGB Noise
Extension Options
Extensions now allow you to enter information through the IDE, making it easier to set up libraries such as Steamworks and the upcoming Epic Games Services.
Extension developers set up their options on the right, which appear for end users on the left.

2022.6 updates the SDK versions for console targets as follows:
- PS5: SDK version 5
- PS4: SDK version 9.5
