Game Maker Treehouse
Proof that comment links do get clicked, if you ever had any doubts. A comment appeared earlier today, after being held in moderation, from the gamemaker treehouse – another game maker blog. The treehouse offers a promotional bribe in it latest post, and I thought I’d give it a go. I have been considering trying […] More

No time for screenshots
An, umm, interesting conversation I found on the GMC. All about how someone can’t be bothered to provide a screenshot for their game because, and I quote, “I just don’t have time to put on a screenshot now school is back on“. And he expects people to download and rate his game. The worst thing […] More

Game Maker Audcast – Episode 2
I was lucky enough to have been given a preview of the second episode of GMKing’s Game Maker podcast, which this week features Zack (a.k.a darksys92 on the GMC) stepping in for Eyas. The main difference is that this second episode at 19 minutes is about two-thirds the length of the pilot which, I think, […] More

Unsolved but solved
What in practise looks like a good idea can easily be misused, see here. It would make so much more sense if there was some method in place for either topic creators or mods to show which problems were solved or unsolved so that the unsolved problems get the attention they deserve instead of being […] More

Regarding YoYo
I hadn’t quite got started in my rants about YoYoGames when I became aware of the MarkUp situation. This led me to reconsider opinions towards YoYo which had been on the verge of becoming less than friendly. YoYo (YYG) are a new company, they have only recently taken over the management and distribution of Game […] More

And it was a long time coming,… Congratulations to Eyas, Robin and everyone else at GMKing for all their hard work. Some stats*: Number of hints dropped in the past […] More

GMLScripts.com
One of the sites I promised to take a look at quite a while ago now was GMLScripts.com. Each month a script from GMLScripts is featured in MarkUp, and the site was also suggested for mention by a reader of this blog. GMLScripts currently contains over 100 scripts for use in Game Maker, and the […] More

Giveaway! (all $20 of it)
Today I received the go ahead I had been looking for from YoYoGames. Thanks to Clayton at YoYoGames Customer Support my wish to be able to offer a GameMaker Pro licence can now become reality. In case any of you are interested, buying a prize licence is as simple purchasing a normal licence from YoYo. […] More

Sophistication for beginners
Stop Press! There is a genius at the GMC. A topic appeared a couple of days ago in the Community section entitled: “The Game Maker Community’s Members Are Not very sophisticated“. The member puts it well “Many are impolite and have a very sickeningly unsophisticated vocabulary. There are hardly any members with any artistic vision […] More

Quick Review
Looking back at some of the recent posts on Game Maker Blog and what, if anything, became of them. It appears the GMC are playing catch up to the comments I made regarding criticising games in my post about rating the success of a game. YoYoGames have been featured more often than previously, perhaps because […] More

Listen to GMking
GMking.org have released a pilot episode of their Audcast, that’s a podcast to you and me. At 31 minutes and 20 seconds it is quite a long pilot, or at least I believe so. The sound quality isn’t great but it was recorded from a Skype conversation over a distance of more than 6,000 miles. […] More
