    iGameMaker

    Sandy Duncan has mentioned on his blog the possibility of making Game Maker games compatible with the iHavemoremoneythansense iPhone.

    I bought GameMaker School

    Broadcasting to the world a domain name you plan to register isn’t the brightest idea is it? Not so when I am king of domains starting “GameMaker…” (GameMakerBlog.com, GameMaker.tv, GameMakerStream.com, GameMakerTV.com, GameMaker.es, GameMakerNews.com, GameMaker8.com). GameMakerSchool.com has been added to my list. Some of you will probably think this was a harsh move on my half […] More

    Why can’t we have a good magazine?

    Last month for the first time I believe that the GameMakerTech magazine outshone its generally more respected rival publication MarkUp. The quality of the content in GMT has been improving issue by issue at a steady rate but it still lacks a regular release date. That said the November Issue of MarkUp was released behind […] 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

He was considering running a ‘master class’ for year 9 (14-15 year olds). I hear there is a Moodle GameMaker course somewhere, hopefully I will get a look at it. More

    YoYo doesn’t care about piracy of GameMaker

    YoYoGames doesn’t care about the piracy of GameMaker 6. Perhaps this would be obvious to you. But I must admit I was a bit surprised to find that they appear to have given up all hope of trying to stop the availability of illegal registration codes. Yes, there will always be the stereotypical Russian crack […] More
