    January Magazines (MarkUp 11, GMTech 10)

    January is quite an interesting time of the year to look at the magazines.

    December Magazine Releases

    Download GMTech Issue 9 Download MarkUp Issue 10 (December) The past few days have seen both Game Maker magazines releasing their latest issues, one considerably more seasonal than the other.

    Contributing relations

    Not another GameMakerTech versus MarkUp post – oh yes. Being the controversial guy that I am I can’t leave it alone, at least not this time when I look at the differing attitudes that the magazines have with their contributors.

    A quality read… MarkUp or GMTech?

    I noticed a few days back that one of the increasingly-at-each-others-throats magazines dedicated to GameMaker was billing itself as “A quality read” following the creation of a new WordPress site which looks suspiciously similar to the earlier website redesign of their rival. Regardless of quality or otherwise, I know that the readership of this blog […] More
