GameMaker HTML5 Windows Beta “Anticipated” for September
August 8, 2011
In a post on their blog earlier today YoYo Games stated that they currently “anticipate” a beta release of GameMaker HTML5 in early September. On Twitter yesterday Mark Overmars also revealed that initially the GameMaker HTML5 IDE will only be available on Windows.
You can request an invite for the GameMaker HTML5 beta here.

An important new GM product is about to be released… and all you guys can talk about is the logo? lol… seriously, at this point, who gives a crap? Get over it.
Anybody going to GDC Europe this year? I see YYG is listed as an Exhibitor. Presumably they’ll say/display something about the upcoming GM HTML5. Exciting times for GM users.
just signed for the HTML5 beta 😀
Personally I think it looks professional, but I don’t like it. 😉 It looks so dull, compared to the currently logo which is bright and gives a better impression of what GameMaker does.
They have separate employees for working on “the product” and developing art or promotional pieces. It’s an ugly “5” on an ugly texture on an ugly cog xD
In my opinion, it isn’t ugly, per se, in the slightest, but I would prefer the icon/logo to be a variation of the current icon of GameMaker Standard.
They’re really sticking with that hideous HTML5 cog? …Speechless.
I don’t think its too bad. But I can easily forgive poor graphic design if it means they’re spending more time making the product itself better. I hope that’s the case.
Besides first! I would like to say. Thank you. I signed up for the Beta Testing.
