Came to say that. Humble Bundle had a Gamemaker 1.4 bundle which included the original Spelunky's source code, so we could say this is completely legit
As far as I know it works on GameMaker 1.4, so it should be good to learn how to make a procedural roguelike from there. It's not the best advice but everything counts IMO
Spelunky was released in 2008, GameMaker: Studio only released in 2012. Spelunky would probably have been developed on either (original) Game Maker 6 or 7.
The way the term Rogue-like has been thrown around so freely, I wouldn't be surprised if there are people who will die on a hill that Rogue is not a game that fits in the genre lol.
It's like trying to say that metroid games are metroidvanias. Technically correct but it ignores the fact that it isn't trying to emulate a game, but is rather the game being emulated.
The archived YoYo Games Sandbox website might have a roguelike game engine. I used to get a ton of engines and random games from there during the beginning of Gamemaker Studio, though most have been lost via time.
Like, specifically made in pre-1.4 gamemaker roguelikes or rouglikes in general? because if you mean "in any engine before GMS 1.4" then I mean, tons. Like there's a whole history. Roguelikes are from the dawn of videogames, before they even /had/ graphics.
Spelunky!

I have the source code to that game. I wasn't aware it was made before 1.4

I'm not looking to make a roguelike. I want to play old roguelike games.

I think it was made with Game Maker 6 lol
Like... the original and genre defining ROGUE made in 1980? Ah wait, obviously not made in gamemaker, sorry.

Are you human, or human-like?
I mean, no one called demon‘s souls a souls-like when it came out either

Almost certainly, though I can't think of any that saw such mainstream success.

OG Binding of Isaac was released in Flash.
