Complete Online Database Companion for GameMaker
lightweight and reliable backend service
About GMDB
Developer-Focused: Everything is designed with GameMaker users in mind.
We want to make developing games easier so we aim to provide.
- Secure hosting for user-generated content such as maps, avatars, and images
- Fast & Reliable backend companion
- Working with developers to grow and share resources
At GMDB, we are passionate about helping indie game developers build amazing games without the hassle of managing back-end systems.
Setting up your own database requires learning server administration, managing security updates, configuring hosting, writing PHP/SQL code, and worrying about uptime. This can be overwhelming when your main focus should be creating your game.
GMDB was built from the ground up to solve this problem.

Unlike generic database services, GMDB is built entirely around the needs of GameMaker Studio creators. Every feature is tailored to GameMaker's workflow, event system, and HTTP structure, making integration fast, clean, and frustration-free.
