GameMaker Quick Start

Integrate Indieop player feedback into your GameMaker games using the community SDK.

Prerequisites

Before you begin, make sure you have:

  1. Created an Indieop account
  2. Created a game and obtained your API key from game settings
  3. GameMaker Studio 2 or later installed

Free Plan Limits: The free plan is limited to 1 game, 1 team member, and 50 form submissions per month. See pricing for more details.

Installation

1

Download the SDK

Download the latest .yymps file from the GitHub releases page.

2

Import into GameMaker

In GameMaker, go to Tools → Import Local Package and select the downloaded .yymps file. Import all resources when prompted.

3

Configure Your API Key

Open the __indieopConfig script and paste your API key into the INDIEOP_API_KEY macro. Set INDIEOP_DEBUG to true to help with testing. 

// __indieopConfig
#macro INDIEOP_API_KEY "your-api-key-here"
#macro INDIEOP_DEBUG true
4

Create and Submit a Form

Create a form with new indieopForm() and add fields using the available field methods. See the SDK documentation in the script itself for a full example. 

// Create and submit a form
var form = new indieopForm();

// Add fields (see SDK script for all available field methods)
// ...

// Submit the form
form.Submit();
5

Verify Submission

Check your debug log for any error messages and resolve them as necessary. Refresh your dashboard to verify the form was submitted successfully. Submissions appear quickly.

6

Disable Debug Mode for Production

Set INDIEOP_DEBUG to false before releasing your game to avoid debug spam. Then integrate form submission into your game's UI.
