  1. I doubt a Linux IDE will come out soon, but when it does it will be evtremely awesome 😀 Another thing I would like to see is much improved 3d or integrated 3d like U3d or OGRE.

  2. I don’t remember my vote from last year, so I’m going to post a reply stating I checked the first (some game on portable device) and last (InstantPlay on other sites) option… done. 😛

    I expect there will be great pressure to port a competition five game to a portable device. InstantPlay on other sites is easy to do and there is a huge demand for this functionality from the community (look at all presented alternatives to InstantPlay). I expect that reducing loss, introducing revenue sharing and porting to other platforms and devices for all games will be hard to achieve for YoYo Games.

  3. I feel bad for saying this, but I really don’t think anything is going to happen. I voted for “shown on portable” because I just can’t see any of the other things happening. They haven’t really done anything, have they? Practically everything gets delayed, canceled or ignored. It’s pretty sad.

  4. A version of game maker for Linux would be awesome!! I would switch right away, because i don’t like Windows (i hate it) and the only reason why i still use it is because of Game Maker.

  5. As much as I feel that YoYoGames promises a lot, I really think that they can have hand-held capabilities by the end of the year. Also, I want that too. 😛

  6. I’m hoping “YoYo Games introduce a method of developer compensation”. That would be great for users, but I don’t think it will help them “YoYo Games reduce their annual loss”. But I voted both, so here’s hoping =)

  7. Pretty much anything Sandy promised, you can bet won’t happen. Anything else is fair game. 😛

  8. @Manyquestions
    There is some kind of glitch in the plugin – am not sure how this happened as it was fine a little earlier. The votes are being recorded okay though and the bars drawn to the correct proportions.
    Edit: I modified the plugin, it should be fixed now.
    Later Edit: My modification had an unexpected consequence. I will attempt a fix later, for now you will just have to put up with it. Thanks for bringing this issue to my attention though.

  9. How exactly does one of the options have a negative vote percentage?

  10. 1, 3, 4, 6, 7.

    1 because the competition makes this intention seem fairly accurate. YYG may be wanting to enter this market also because it would be a good source of revenue
    3 because it would increase the user friendliness towards the Google Ads and attract more users
    4 because of 1 and 3
    6 because I believe the Mac port project will be revived and completed. Linux – doubt it
    7 to attract more people to use YYG as a host.

  11. Voted for 1st, 4th and 7th. Everything else is not exactly certain – and I’ve learnt not to trust YoYo or any GM-related media.

  12. @Philip, but now my vote has been casted 😛
    Is there a way I can reset mine?

  13. Same :/.

    I voted for portable device, but i hope the annual loss happens for YoYO and Game Maker’s sake.

  14. I almost voted everything except the Magazine thing…
    Then I found out, there’s a max of one vote…

    Woop, FIRST vote…
