    No one likes me

    Arhhhh Why oh why do people at the GMC come up with such absurd assumptions as this,  that people are purposely ignoring them and are boycotting any topics posted in by this particular member.

    GameMaker.tv

    In an poor attempt to emulate GMKing’s ‘leaky pipes‘ promotion technique, as used for announcing the YoYoGames endorsement of MarkUp, you probably haven’t noticed the few subtle hints I have been trying to drop about a Game Maker related project I am planning.

    Ad results

    It seems that GameMakerBlog should be renaming MarkUpBlog, following the two previous posts about the magazine I will again mention it.

    Ahoy there! After a couple of days delay the fifth issue of MarkUp, the only GameMaker magazine to be endorsed by YoYoGames, has been released. No doubt you’ll have already seen it on the GMC, Grego’s blog or elsewhere so I won’t copy and paste the contents list as a space-filler. You should read it […] More

    Not using a cracked version, honest

    The GMC help someone who provides no logical explanation as to why they want to use version Game Maker 6.1 instead of the latest version 7 on Vista. They wouldn’t happen to be using a cracked version of the software would they,….? It’s $20 people, that’s not much. If you want the pro version of […] More

    Game Maker Treehouse

    Proof that comment links do get clicked, if you ever had any doubts. A comment appeared earlier today, after being held in moderation, from the gamemaker treehouse – another game maker blog.

    No time for screenshots

    An, umm, interesting conversation I found on the GMC. All about how someone can’t be bothered to provide a screenshot for their game because, and I quote, “I just don’t have time to put on a screenshot now school is back on“.
