- The second round of voting at 2BeeGames ends at midnight tonight (EST). Currently 3 of the 4 Game Maker games in the final would drop out with only Kablooey making it through to the next round. 2BeeGames recently published an interview with the game creator, Mr Chubigans, on their blog.
- Earlier this week second and third places in the GameJolt Minimal contest were awarded to Game Maker games. Platformers Saut and Fetus beat 47 other games to claim a front page feature. I am impressed at the number of entries there were.
- GMLive held their fourth online radio discussion yesterday. Sadly my internet speed wasn’t up to streaming the show and an archive has yet to be uploaded so I have been unable to post a review of the show or make a replay available.
@Bugaham Yeah, Spelunky has gotten a crazy amount of press everywhere lately because it’s just reached version 1 😀
Yes, Spelunky was made in Game Maker. Great original game!
As for the 2BeeGames contest, Ed’s Cochons Pursuit does not deserve to be in last place. 🙁
You might want to add that Spelunky was featured on IGN as a free game on their “Cheap Thrills” section. I am fairly sure it is made with game maker.
