Less crack, more ham
No, not the latest anti-drugs message produced in association with the Royal Butchers Association of Great Britain. Instead, it’s an update on the search terms used to find GameMakerBlog. Previously (see links at end of post) the majority of the top search terms that resulted in someone clicking onto this site from Google were directly […] More

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

GameMaker meets real world
Today my Computing tutor mentioned GameMaker, woot! First time in 7 years anyone in the ‘real world’ has ever brought the subject up with me. 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

Straight to a list of problems: No moderation: any topics that are dumb, useless and against forum rules stay alive for days Nobody updating the pinned topics 13 year olds […] More

I started this as a small personal experiment to track which Game Maker sites were the most popular.

So I compiled data […] More

Game Maker Awards 2007 – Results In.
The results of the somehow ‘Official’ and this year very controversial (to some people anyway) Game Maker Awards 2007 are now in. Thank goodness, hopefully this saga can finally come to an end. GMKing came third in the website category. Obviously the winner for this category was the site that is always going up and […] More

Personal Attack (This post is late)
I was hesitant about posting negative things about an individual, yes I have done it about games and websites in the past which is actually what led to change my mind. A forum username may provide an idea of who someone is, especially if they have filled in their profile details or have used the […] More

YoYoGames’ Forum o’doom
The one half-decent thing that the YoYoGames forums had going for them was the fact that members were not allowed signatures. However, this rule has changed so now we look forward to tacky animated banners and huge images on an already slow site, oh joy. Quite why YoYoGames needed their own forum I don’t know. […] More

Shock Horror
Something must be wrong. YoYoGames have updated their typo blog 5 times in the past 7 days! Keeping people informed of what is actually going on, what is the world coming too? Next you’ll be telling me they are going to make a version of GameMaker for the mac. More
