    GMTalk Game Maker Podcast

    At around 4:30pm GMT today several Game Maker users decided to get together to record a Game Maker podcast named GMTalk (all the other names were taken, you know GMcast, GMlive, GMindie).   This evening Andrew McCluskey, Jack Brockley, James Garner and myself took a look at FlashPunk, the entries in the GameJolt rogue-themed game making competition, game maker games on consoles and more. We also discussed YoYo Games’ Instant Play plugin, GMIndie Magazine (sorry!  Please take it in jest), how you can win Game Maker 8 pro and piracy of Game Maker.

    Please tell me GMKing hasn’t done this

    The once mighty appears to have fallen [gmc topic has been deleted, screenshot below].  Has GMKing the team behind the YoYo Games wiki, GMCast and MarkUp really been reduced to collbarating with gap-to?

    GMKing Podcast #5
