    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. The treehouse offers a promotional bribe in it latest post, and I thought I’d give it a go. I have been considering trying […] More

    Game Maker Audcast – Episode 2

    I was lucky enough to have been given a preview of the second episode of GMKing’s Game Maker podcast, which this week features Zack (a.k.a darksys92 on the GMC) stepping in for Eyas. The main difference is that this second episode at 19 minutes is about two-thirds the length of the pilot which, I think, […] More

    Unsolved but solved

    What in practise looks like a good idea can easily be misused, see here. It would make so much more sense if there was some method in place for either topic creators or mods to show which problems were solved or unsolved so that the unsolved problems get the attention they deserve instead of being […] More

    Regarding YoYo

    I hadn’t quite got started in my rants about YoYoGames when I became aware of the MarkUp situation. This led me to reconsider opinions towards YoYo which had been on the verge of becoming less than friendly. YoYo (YYG) are a new company, they have only recently taken over the management and distribution of Game […] More

    Sophistication for beginners

    Stop Press! There is a genius at the GMC. A topic appeared a couple of days ago in the Community section entitled: “The Game Maker Community’s Members Are Not very sophisticated“. The member puts it well “Many are impolite and have a very sickeningly unsophisticated vocabulary. There are hardly any members with any artistic vision […] More

    Quick Review

    Looking back at some of the recent posts on Game Maker Blog and what, if anything, became of them. It appears the GMC are playing catch up to the comments I made regarding criticising games in my post about rating the success of a game. YoYoGames have been featured more often than previously, perhaps because […] More

    Listen to GMking

    GMking.org have released a pilot episode of their Audcast, that’s a podcast to you and me. At 31 minutes and 20 seconds it is quite a long pilot, or at least I believe so. The sound quality isn’t great but it was recorded from a Skype conversation over a distance of more than 6,000 miles. […] More
