Not News
Apparently it’s not news but I’m glad to see YoYo have been keeping the community informed of what has been going on recently. Online highscore tables are a feature being investigated. More

GMTV Finally Out
So, GameMaker TV is finally here. The reception at the GMC appears to be pretty even, there are some shortcomings and disappointments (why do people get their hopes up so high?), but there also appear to be quite a large group of people who were pleasantly surprised with the result.

Open Source Game Maker
Game Maker consider going Open Source (well maybe one day). Don’t think this will happen with the incompetence shown by YoYoGame so far, but you never know.

GMB 6 months on
Yesterday GameMakerBlog reached 6 months online. 6 months in which I have spouted my views and opinion about YoYoGames, GameMaker and more often than not its community of users. 6 months in which GameMakerBlog has gone from nothing to slightly more than nothing.
