TheGMRace Top 10 Game Maker Games
TheGMRace have released the results of the first stage of their competition. The number of games remaining in the competition have been reduced from 20 down to 10 after a series of head-to-head comparisons of the entered games.

All Change at GameMakerTech
Alex, a well known GMC member, has stepped down from his position as an advisor to the GameMakerTech magazine. Also on the way out is trose7 who had 3 reviews published in the latest issue.

GMTV Finally Out
So, GameMaker TV is finally here. The reception at the GMC appears to be pretty even, there are some shortcomings and disappointments (why do people get their hopes up so high?), but there also appear to be quite a large group of people who were pleasantly surprised with the result.

Robin opens the magazine, rather bizarrely in my opinion, by mentioning his love of […] More

Open Source Game Maker
Game Maker consider going Open Source (well maybe one day). Don’t think this will happen with the incompetence shown by YoYoGame so far, but you never know. A move away from registration based income to advertising revenue would obviously need to happen here but it would, if it happens, help increase the popularity of GameMaker […] More

Karma equals epic failure
Not shopped. It says “tuntis” lowercase because I simply did this non-script kiddy proof exploit with the lowercase nickname I prefer nowadays. Ask them: it’s true! (Or try it yourself) click for bigger More
