- "GameBaker has evolved over the years with every game it was used on, and the graphics engine saw the biggest changes. For the initial console releases of Hotline Miami, GameBaker integrated with Phyre Engine, which later was also used in the upgraded PC release. We were then asked to replace Dennator/Devolver's original GameMaker 7 version on Steam with our own GameBaker for better run-time performance and improved stability."
