Game Maker Magazine
Another new Game Maker Magazine has been launched. Yep that’s its name “Game Maker Magazine”. (gmc link) Whilst GameMakerTech have to hold a caption competition to come up with a snappy slogan Game Maker Magazine has one from the start: “The Information you need to know, today“. Almost as good as the magazine name I’m […] More

January Magazines (MarkUp 11, GMTech 10)
January is quite an interesting time of the year to look at the magazines. Both because of the possibility of the magazines introducing new features and changes, and because over the Christmas period there could have been either a torrent or lack of submissions depending on the particular contributers. Download MarkUp Issue 11 | Download […] More

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. MarkUp have switched to a two column layout, which I think is a big improvement over the previously favoured three-column option. But that isn’t the […] 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

New “Game Development” magazine

The first article of the first (and I am 90% certain only) issue is…. something about the film Beowulf, which not related […] More

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. Two magazines, tens of thousands of GameMaker users you would have thought those that had […] More

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

Fact: Most gamemaker magazines fail
Continuing my search for gamemaker magazines I came across a site called omgili, which seems to steal, *cough*, I mean archive, the content of a number of forums. The topic, of which the GMC original appears to have been deleted, starts when a member introduces his proposals for a magazine devoted to gamemaker, only to […] More

Gamemaker Magazines
Yesterday I submitted my first article to GMking’s MarkUp magazine. Since returning to the gamemaker community this month I have taken a look at the magazines on offer for the community. When I was last using gamemaker Morpheous’s GMData magazine had published its fourth issue, however the fifth issue was never made. The only magazines […] More
