Three word book reviews
Well actually slightly more than that. 9 words, I lied. When choosing the books Beginning 3D Game Programming: Yeahy! Sounds cool. Agile Software Development: The next best. After a quick flick through Beginning 3D Game Programming: ehh? Really? Hmm… Agile Software Development: Management waffle. Heavy. After a longer read Beginning 3D Game Programming: Not for […] More

Linkchanges
Over the past couple of days there have been a few minor changes to GameMakerBlog. These were mostly regarding the pages included in the main site navigation.

Cynical view of 22nd September YoYo News
More possible platforms. Nothing definite. Wait until at least next year to hear anything more. “We’ve signed a maintenance agreement with our Web Developers which means more regular site updates and tweaks. Starting next week, this will happen at least twice a month. “ Twice monthly updates, how revolutionary… More

In the latest post on YoYo Games’ Glog, Sandy asks Game Maker users to support the company by introducing their “friends and family” to it.
