    New look YoYo-ized GMC

    The GMC is looking distinctly green. Here is a quick comparison conducted between the ‘old’ GMC (on 16th March) and the recently updated YoYo Games styled version (today). I am unable to find the option to revert back to the old version which I remember an administrator stating would probably remain. More

    GMTV 3 detailed review

    …by everybody’s favorite [sic] writer. I have to say, to begin this with, the third episode greatly increased the quality of GMTV compared to the past two episodes. I won’t be jumping into the technical aspects until the end — I’ll focus on the content. The main content in this episode is reviewing the 10 […] More

    GMTV, episode 3

    …is out.  Featuring a lot of reviews and an interview with a GMNews/GMTech writer, Bendodge, which GMTV’s page bizarrely describes as "an interview with a writer from both Skorptek’s "Game Maker Blog" and for "Game Maker News"". My review of it coming soon. What’d you think? More

    A breath of fresh air

    Download link Hurray for the new GameMakerTech design seen in Issue 11. It’s clean, it’s slick and yes, it’s still got a tinge of blue about it. I am devastated at the cancellation of the GMT slogan competition, I spent all of about 5 seconds coming up with a couple of suggestions. But really, with […] More

    Read the full blog post on the GMB wiki

    …Wait, what? Why should we read a part of your magazine (fyi: GMT’s out) from your wiki? Shouldn’t it go the other way: have a sneak peek at the wiki, not the magazine? This doesn’t really make any sense. You see that there’s an "interview" in the magazine that you really want to read, then […] More

    Worst GameMaker video tutorial?

    Low quality screen recording (1 fps?!), large watermark obscuring content… Although to be fair it is obvious that this isn’t meant to be a tutorial, more just a brief introduction to GameMaker 7 as the creator posts videos on a variety of subjects. GameMakerTv.com has a new layout but no sign of episode 3 coming… More

    YoYoGames.com is worth $696,640

    Many of you have probably seen people trying to flog off third-rate domain names claiming to have had them appraised and valued at ridiculously humongous sums. DNScoop is actually one of the reasonable sites out their valuing websites based on their Page Rank, number of incoming links and age of domain amongst some other figures. […] More
