March 14, 2015 - Build 1.0.0.464

Hello everyone!
You might have noticed there has been some changing of the guard. Chris (I-Game-Art) has departed the project to pursue his career in effects makeup (whoa!). We welcome Xot, longtime steward of http://www.gmlscripts.com/ — a very popular resource for GameMaker Studio users! We also have a little art for your desktops and whatever else you'd like to do from our friend Makku at http://abstractcactus.tumblr.com/

Below are the patchnotes for Alpha 13! Xot really turned this around in an impressively short amount of time! BEHOLD ITS LIST-Y GLORY!
