Hi there, welcome to SLUDGE!
This wiki will get you up and running, and will hopefully answer many questions which might arise from using this engine. This document will grow as use cases and needs arise, and as I finish areas of documentation.

This wiki is not intended to teach all of the concepts and use of GameMaker Studio 2, but there's great documentation online for it. If you've never used GameMaker before, or encounter unfamiliar terms or concepts in this wiki, check out the manual online: docs2.gamemaker.com
FAQ
Q Why can't I add anything? Textboxes, characters, choices?
A You will need define styles or characters before adding content that depends upon them to the screen. Each area of the editor has a sub-menu for this!
Q How can I move things around in the editors?
A Hold the Control key on your keyboard while you click and drag. This prevents accidentally moving things.
Q How can I preview my dialog in “show” mode?
A Press F6 (Game Maker's shortcut for running in debug mode) to preview your finished dialog.
