    GameMaker Book

    Haven’t brought “The Game Maker’s Apprentice: Game Development for Beginners”, Mark Overmars and Jacob Habgood’s book? No, neither have I. If you are interested take a look on Google books. Obviously the whole book isn’t on there but it will give you a good idea of what the book is like. Related GameMakerBlog article: Free […] More

    Justice Prevails?

    In a bit of GMC member news, rumour has it that the infamous GMC member, nateistoraw has been banned from the forums! Sadly, I can tell you no more details as that is all I’ve been told (by the man himself). It seems likely to me that his warn level worked its way up to 100% […] More

    YoYo’s Second Staging

    YoYoGames have been working on ‘Staging 2′ of YoYoGames.com As I first asked in June “How long, I ask you, do you think it will be before YoYo start putting adverts on their site? No adverts at first to soften the blow, and then once everyone has started using them up the ads will go.” […] More
