How to Report a Bug or Give Feedback for Note Block Studio

Updated

Report bugs and feedback on the project's issues page, and search existing issues before opening a new one. For the fastest contact with the team, join the public Discord server. Both entry points are linked from the Note Block Studio site.

Report a bug or leave feedback

The site directs bug reports to its issues page and says that page is also where you should give feedback. The same section asks you to search before creating a new issue, so existing reports and replies are the first place to check.

  1. Open the issues page linked from the Note Block Studio site.
  2. Search for your problem or suggestion to see whether it is already reported or discussed.
  3. If nothing matches, create a new issue describing the bug or feedback.
  4. Follow the thread for replies from the team.

Expected result: your report lands in the project's issue tracker, where the team collects bug reports and feedback.

Contact the team quickly

The site describes its public Discord server as the fastest way to contact the team, and says you can follow development there too. Use it when you want a quicker conversation than an issue thread, or when you want to keep up with what is being worked on.

Common snags

  • Opening a duplicate issue. The site explicitly asks you to search before creating a new issue, so check first.
  • Expecting a different support channel. The site names only the issues page and the Discord server for reports and contact.
  • Wanting to change the code yourself. The project is written in Game Maker Language (GML), and the site says you need GameMaker Studio 2 to open the project and make changes. That is separate from reporting a bug.
