Softwrap opinion split, NAL Games archive, eoCommunity

December 17th, 2009 by Philip Gamble | Categories: Community Links

Opinion is divided at the Game Maker Community poll asking users whether they would prefer a pre-Christmas Game Maker 8 with Softwrap or at least a three month wait for a non-Softwrap release. Sandy had previously stated that Game Maker 8 would not use Softwrap but it appears this is his favoured option (and that of 56% of poll respondents so far).

Earlier this week GMB’s NAL released 40 of his unfinished creations from the past five years at GameJolt. This is for all the people who never think they will finish a game and just goes to show that for every hit there are many more abandoned along the way.

The eoCommunity, whose members include over 50 advanced Game Maker users, is back after a prolonged period of downtime. The problem was cited as a “minor technical issue”.
