+# GameMaker Quickstart
+
+This page walks you through building a GameMaker app for Devvit. Once complete, you'll see your GameMaker game running directly within a Reddit post.
+
+If you are already familiar with Devvit and want to jump straight to exporting, see the  [Build and Deploy GameMaker Games to Devvit ](#build-and-deploy-gamemaker-games-to-devvit) section.
+
+## Try it out
+
+The template creates a simple GameMaker game and demonstrates data exchange between Reddit and GameMaker.
+
+<img src={require('../assets/quickstart_gamemaker.gif').default} alt="GameMaker example" style={{maxWidth: '40%', height: 'auto', display: 'block', margin: '0 auto'}} />
+
+## What you'll need
+
+- Node.js (version 22.2.0+)
+- [GameMaker 2024.1400.3](https://releases.gamemaker.io/release-notes/2024/1400_3) or later (this version adds direct exporting to Reddit)
+
+## Environment setup
+
+1. Install Node.js and npm ([instructions](https://docs.npmjs.com/downloading-and-installing-node-js-and-npm))
+2. Go to [developers.reddit.com/new](https://developers.reddit.com/new) and select the GameMaker template
+3. Complete the setup wizard (you'll need to create a Reddit account and connect it to Reddit Developers)
+4. Follow the instructions in your terminal
+
+On success, you should see something like this:
+
+```sh
+Your Devvit authentication token has been saved to /Users/user.name/.devvit/token
+Fetching and extracting the template...
+Cutting the template to the target directory...
+ 🔧 Installing dependencies...
+ 🚀🚀🚀 Devvit app successfully initialized!
+┌────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐
+│ • `cd my-app` to open your project directory       │
+│ • `npm run dev` to develop in your test community  │
+└────────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+## Running your app
+
+To run your app, navigate to your project directory with `cd my-app` and run `npm run dev`. You should see logs that conclude with:
+
+```
+https://www.reddit.com/r/my-app_dev?playtest=my-app

+## Build and Deploy GameMaker Games to Devvit
+
+For step-by-step export instructions, see the [GameMaker Reddit Template documentation](https://github.com/YoYoGames/GameMakerRedditTemplate/blob/main/docs/HowToBuild.md).
+
+## Communicate between GameMaker and Reddit
+
+GameMaker games communicate with Reddit through HTTP requests. The provided template includes working examples of this data exchange:
+
+- **GameMaker client code**: [reddit_demo_server_api.gml](https://github.com/YoYoGames/GM-RedditDemo/blob/main/source/Reddit_gml/scripts/reddit_demo_server_api/reddit_demo_server_api.gml) — Shows how to send requests from GameMaker to retrieve user data, save scores, and interact with Reddit features.
+- **Devvit server code**: [src/server/index.ts](https://github.com/reddit/devvit-template-gamemaker/blob/main/src/server/index.ts) — Handles incoming requests from GameMaker, accesses Reddit APIs, and stores data in Redis.
