    Screen Resolutions

    In a recent topic at the GMC Alex asks what member’s screen resolutions are. I wasn’t sure that this really had any significance since GameMaker can be set to change the screen resolution, however as an increasing number of us now have widescreens this is obviously more important than it has been in the past.

    YoYo’s Second Staging

    YoYoGames have been working on ‘Staging 2′ of YoYoGames.com As I first asked in June “How long, I ask you, do you think it will be before YoYo start putting adverts on their site? No adverts at first to soften the blow, and then once everyone has started using them up the ads will go.” […] More

    Recording for posts

    The guy behind GMHV posts at the GMC offering to record sounds for people, fair enough – but get this – he will only do it in exchange for registration at this forum and making five posts. This request is priceless, and if this person hadn’t suggested it I would have suggested something similar! (Repeated […] More

    A quality read… MarkUp or GMTech?

    I noticed a few days back that one of the increasingly-at-each-others-throats magazines dedicated to GameMaker was billing itself as “A quality read” following the creation of a new WordPress site which looks suspiciously similar to the earlier website redesign of their rival. Regardless of quality or otherwise, I know that the readership of this blog […] More

    YoYo doesn’t care about piracy of GameMaker

    YoYoGames doesn’t care about the piracy of GameMaker 6. Perhaps this would be obvious to you. But I must admit I was a bit surprised to find that they appear to have given up all hope of trying to stop the availability of illegal registration codes. Yes, there will always be the stereotypical Russian crack […] More

    Interesting Week

    It’s been a, how can I put it, interesting past week for GameMakerBlog. 50 comments in a week, inclusion on GameMaker.info‘s relaunch, falling out and making up with Danny’s GMTV and a potential falling out with GMHV. It’s certainly been very eventful at any rate. More

    New Gamemaker.info

    Simon Donkers has given the GameMaker.info website a face-lift. There are new features available including a customisable startpage, similar to iGoogle. GameMakerBlog is included as one of the default feeds but there is a big selection to choose from, including MarkUp, 64Digits and of course the official news from YoYoGames (if any ever comes). My […] More

    GMA: New design

    Yesterday I put together a new design for the Gamemaker affiliation service. I am quite obviously not the worlds best designer, but I am more concerned about whether or not you understand what the site is about and how it works. If you have any comments, criticisms etc please post them here . More

    War of words?

    Revel Games’ GM TV. Ahh, we can see the professionalism with which the project is being undertaken, already multiple missed deadlines and now a very helpful video insulting this site. I guess that rules out any future collaboration with Danny whom I had been chatting to recently. Let’s hope he doesn’t decide to use clips […] More
