Robert I been saving my games as gm 8.1 to be compatible with gamemaker. Should I be saving as EGM?
Yes, unless of course you like having to set any extensions your using each time you load your project in LateralGM. SInce it is our own format we can save whatever we want to it, there is really no way for us to save compiler configurations to the GMK format. Not to mention EGM is way smaller in compression size and is actually a zip file, you can just right click it and hit extract, where as GMK is binary and you can't really do much with a hex editor.
