Saw Cactus on the official IGF site earlier today! Watched the trailer of his game too…looks remarkable. Got to download
My game(Crash Dodger) is in the said magazine guys
Oh, and this line cracked me up in the magazine:
“If you put it too far the image will be
crosseyes and you’ll probably be laughed at for making such as
ridiculas mistake.”
Oh dear. And I thought the intro was as good a definiton of irony as you could get.
Flywrench got an honorable mention. Isn’t that made in GM as well?
Yes. http://www.gamemakergames.com/?a=view&id=6418
I don’t like 3dgameeye making up words and putting them in Wikipedia.
On a more positive note, congrats to Cactus, your game looks far out as usual.
