GameMaker was created by Mark Overmars in 1999 as an educational program called Animo. In 2007, the company YoYo Games acquired the rights and relaunched it as GameMaker Studio. Originally written in Delphi, the current version uses C++ for the IDE and supports multiple languages in the runtime. In 2021, Opera acquired YoYo Games, continuing the development and maintenance of the tool.
