Hi All,
Thank you very much for using Pixel Game Maker MV.
With the release today of 0.9.6, we must inform you that the 0.9.6 series of releases will be the last versions of Pixel Game Maker MV to support 32-bit systems.
From version 0.9.7 onward, only 64-bit versions will be released. We will be updating the recommended specs accordingly. We will keep the 32-bit version available for those users who are currently unable to switch to the 64-bit release, so please check the Betas tab if you need access to that version.
Also, version 0.9.6 has just been released.
It includes a large number of fixes and improvements.
With this release, 0.9.6 has been released directly to the default branch. Older releases will be made available via branches in the Beta tab (Steam properties)
