GMKing came third in the website category. Obviously the winner for this category was the site that is always going up and […] More

    Personal Attack (This post is late)

    I was hesitant about posting negative things about an individual, yes I have done it about games and websites in the past which is actually what led to change my mind. A forum username may provide an idea of who someone is, especially if they have filled in their profile details or have used the […] More

    YoYoGames’ Forum o’doom

    The one half-decent thing that the YoYoGames forums had going for them was the fact that members were not allowed signatures. However, this rule has changed so now we look forward to tacky animated banners and huge images on an already slow site, oh joy. Quite why YoYoGames needed their own forum I don’t know. […] More

    Shock Horror

    Something must be wrong. YoYoGames have updated their typo blog 5 times in the past 7 days! Keeping people informed of what is actually going on, what is the world coming too? Next you’ll be telling me they are going to make a version of GameMaker for the mac. More

    GameMaker Book

    Haven’t brought “The Game Maker’s Apprentice: Game Development for Beginners”, Mark Overmars and Jacob Habgood’s book? No, neither have I. If you are interested take a look on Google books. Obviously the whole book isn’t on there but it will give you a good idea of what the book is like. Related GameMakerBlog article: Free […] More

    Justice Prevails?

    In a bit of GMC member news, rumour has it that the infamous GMC member, nateistoraw has been banned from the forums! Sadly, I can tell you no more details as that is all I’ve been told (by the man himself). It seems likely to me that his warn level worked its way up to 100% […] More

    Free Game Development Books

    Today I received two free game development books by courier, “Beginning 3D Game Programming” and “Agile Software Development“. The books were sent to me as part of my involvement with the MarkUp magazine, where a future issue will contain reviews I have written on them. (I guess I have to read the books first 😛 […] More

    Warning! Challenger Aproaching!

    As some of you may know, my name is Grego and I’m a member of the GMC and I used to write for Public Life. Sadly, Public Life is now dead so I’ve joined Phil here to write some articles for the Game Maker Blog. I’ll try to keep articles interesting and informative as well […] More

    The importance of Mirrors

    GMKing is down. Who didn’t pay the server bills? On a more positive note I guess this maybe because the bandwidth limit has been exceeded. This is probably the most likely cause since for the past four months MarkUp’s readership has increased by an average of 249% per month. Even so, this highlights the importance […] More

    “Sensational Garbage”

    pythonpoole stated the obvious in a post at the GMC regarding the pathetic loading times of YoYoGames. Anyone should be able to tell that YoYo is slow at loading because of the sheer amount of content they have on each page. But I thought this was illustrated particularly well in this topic at the GMC […] More
