GameMaker LTS 2026
Opera Norway AS · A complete development tool for creating 2D games, provided here as the GameMaker LTS macOS app.
About
GameMaker LTS 2026 is the long-term-support variant of GameMaker, a development tool for making 2D games. This Homebrew cask installs the macOS app package, rather than a separate command-line tool.
- Provides a toolset for creating 2D games.
- GameMaker’s official site describes it as suitable for learning as well as game development by indie developers and professional studios.
- The main GameMaker offering has Free, Professional, and Enterprise tiers; available capabilities and release options can depend on the tier. The Homebrew package is specifically the LTS variant.
Install with brew install --cask gamemaker@lts. The package’s post-install script launches the app; Homebrew’s postflight step attempts to close it to prevent unwanted interaction. Open GameMaker LTS 2026 from your Applications folder to get started.
The cask declares a macOS dependency. The official site describes the wider GameMaker product as supporting multiple desktop, mobile, web, and console targets, but those statements do not establish which targets are available in this LTS package or tier.
