I've got the game in the GMStudio2 folder, but when I try to run it in Gamemaker (zipped or unzipped) I get a bunch of resource load failures, and the assets of the game itself are nowhere to be found. Also there doesn't seem to be a room for the game to run in. I've looked around at manuals and even attempted to get it working myself, but I haven't had any luck.

Sorry for the low quality screencap but it's the only way I could think to convey the problem. But attempting to run the project file always brings it up, and I don't know if I'm just clueless as to where projects and zips should go in the folder or what.
Having checked again there doesn't seem to be a room present for the game to run in, and although I figured out how to create a room to run it, there'll be nothing in it because the sprites and assets seem to be nonexistent.

Sending the asset zips has filled in the corresponding tabs, so that must've been the problem. I don't think there was anything inherently wrong with sending the zips here, but I suppose Dropbox can work too. Like need my speed says, there is still no room to use these assets in, and apparently a small handful of assets are still missing;

It seems to only be a couple sounds, objects, and the missing room.
The list is far shorter now though, which is a good sign!
You might be able to see the lit up asset tabs on the side too.

An exe of an early test version with what you have all together in playable rooms would be a fantastic idea. I wish you the best of luck with putting the exe together!

I’ll be sure to, it was midnight where I am and I was getting tired. I didn’t make a room because nothing was coded yet. XD I’ll get to work making an .exe ASAP.
