Crimelife 2, which is also a YoYo Games staff pick, has been played almost twice as many times as the second most popular Game on YoYo - Sascha Swiercy’s Coaster Rider.

In an interview in issue 7 of GameMaker Tech Sakis described Crimelife as “a GTA kind game with beautiful 3-D graphics and tons of lowpoly models”.

Crimelife 2 is not his only successful project however, with the original Crimelife and Super Smash Battle 3D also featuring in the 20 most played games.

As part of the agreement, GMking will provide resources and services to GMTV necessary to continue and improve upon their core goal: providing high quality, information-rich, audio-visual media to the Game Maker community. Additionally, some of the writers from the popular MarkUp Magazine, also produced by GMking, will be assisting in the writing and production of future GMTV episodes.

GMTV will complement and expand GMking’s services to the Game Maker community as well, making this a relationship that is truly beneficial to both sides.

Robin Monks, who represented GMking for the negotiations for this merger stated, “I think this will benefit the entire Game Maker community. By uniting forces, the newly expanded GMking Network will be able to produce even more content tailored to the Game Maker community.”

GMking is a thriving community of volunteers who produce content for indie game developers and users. GMking has served the game development community since 2004; and continues to produce relevant, quality material to educate and inform.

GMTV is a fast moving and informative Game Maker video podcast with a focus on producing quality content for users of the popular Game Maker game creation platform.

The show features a completely new look (to go with their new website), which is a huge improvement from the previous one. They have ditched their “retro style”. This time in reviews, Ancient War and Beneton Movie GIF.

But that’s not all: it features a new face-off feature. Basically, two games are picked, and 5 different features of them are compared: Graphics, Replay Value, Originality, Sound/Music & Game Features. This time, Ad Nauseaum 2 and Return to Sector 9. For every category, a star is awarded for one game, and the one with the most at the end wins.

There was also a bit showing off a typewriter script, much like the Weekend Extras (getting more of those would be nice, as long as there’s real content).

In overall, a very nice episode, worth a watch. (Somewhere around 4 out of 5 stars). But to the obligatory technical comment, I’m amazed how a 320×240 WMV (”high quality”) takes 217 megabytes of space.

Check it out. Even if you’re on a 56k modem.

The long awaited episode 4 of Gamemaker TV has been released, with around 20 minutes of content.

The episode contains the following:

• News
• A tutorial
• Reviews
• And something they call ‘Face-Off’ which is like the cage matches on the GMC

Sadly they didn’t get the interview with cactus in.

A detailed review coming soon. What do you think?

“You know they made YoYoGames.com, and they’re in control of Game Maker development, but do you know what Sandy’s favourite food is. Okay, we won’t be asking that, but in an exclusive interview we’ll be asking YoYo Games the questions YOU want answered.

We are proud to be the first GM publication to present a feature length exclusive with YYG. If you can think of some questions you’d like asked, simply make a topic in the special “YoYo Special” sub-forum on the main GMTech forums.“

“So long as there are no other problems that Cage Match will return this Saturday, July 26th. I’m actually on a day trip Saturday so it’ll probably start Friday night at some point but I’d rather start it a little early then delay it yet again.”

Each week the GMC Cage Matches put two GameMaker games head to head for a public vote and discussion with the most popular game staying on for the next week to face a new challenger. It is uncertain whether the process will be the same following the relaunch.

The Knowledge Base, which has not been actively maintained for a while, has had over 25,000 visitors and hosts a wide range of informative articles and examples to explain GameMaker functions.

The process of importing articles to the wiki format has just started, but eventually the GMKB will redirect to GMPedia which currently hosts over 400 articles.

The only reason you’re here is because you were searching for a Game Maker crack, like so many others in the past. A quick glance at the posts listed in the “most popular this fortnight” box at the top right of every page on GameMaker Blog shows that certain topics always seem to be very popular - those which mention hacking or cracking of GameMaker.
