It seems that GameMaker is properly detected for Windows executables, but not for Linux, at least that seems to be the case for https://store.steampowered.com/app/604330/The_Crown_of_Leaves/

Should probably be easy to detect, though I personally didn't fiddle too much with it, here's what I found by examining game executable:

In particular the later thing was making me wonder if parsing the executables/dlls for some given strings (that would correspond to the CoCreateInstance or `LoadLibrary' calls) couldn't be way more comprehensive.
E.g. there are games like Mass Effect 2 shipping 100% dead openal dlls (because the devs were completely clueless about what they were even doing), and even runtime checks could be unreliable given dsound.dll would also load mmvdevapi/wasapi after XP.

Can the license of this project be clarified? (Personally I'm hoping it's something compatible with either GPLv2 or GPLv3; I don't really care much beyond that.)

Is it OK if we drop Python 2 support? I have a bugfix patch that requires Python 3.5+, and I'd prefer not to rewrite it to support ancient EOL Python versions that haven't gotten security patches in years.

Seems Cocos2d games could be detected by presence of the .dll files at least, figured it out after seeing that Metal Slug 3 have libcocos2d.dll and libCocosDenshion.dll. it probably needs testing on more than one game though.

From bink and physx versions, to DRM analysis akin to protectionid.
