    The curse of the GMA

    Game Maker Awards 2007. Marred in controversy and with over 800 posts the GMC topic has once again come to the top of the community section. Almost a month after the results were released the winners and runners up in each of the categories can finally add “lame siggy images” showing off their popularity amongst […] More

    Clean the World.

    I was informed by Grego that today is Blog Action Day. This issue being promoted was the environment so I searched YoYoGames for relevant games, ‘environment’ and ‘recycle’ both returned no results but I did manage to discover “Clean the World“. A game in which you are a gnome and must clean up rubbish which […] More

    Dubbing Wrecks Movies

    This is the English-only GMC I’m talking about. If you can read, write and understand English then you’re okay – if not you’re, to put it delicately, screwed. Unless of course you happen to speak German or Dutch and belong to one of the marvellous unofficial foreign language communities such as the German Game Maker […] More

    Site That Sells Games For You

    Yet another of these topics has arisen in the distributing games section of the community, topics in which people relatively new to GameMaker come up with the oh-so-unoriginal idea of making a website to sell GameMaker made games. Their plans are so so well thought through – from the start they know how much commission […] More

    Game Maker Survey

    I like surveys. GMTutorials recently released the results of a survey they ran at the GMC, which attracted around 350 participants. The results were mostly none-surprising, unfortunately they aren’t presented in the clearest of ways. More

    Cynical view of 22nd September YoYo News

    More possible platforms. Nothing definite. Wait until at least next year to hear anything more. “We’ve signed a maintenance agreement with our Web Developers which means more regular site updates and tweaks. Starting next week, this will happen at least twice a month. “ Twice monthly updates, how revolutionary… More

    Contributing relations

    Not another GameMakerTech versus MarkUp post – oh yes. Being the controversial guy that I am I can’t leave it alone, at least not this time when I look at the differing attitudes that the magazines have with their contributors. Two magazines, tens of thousands of GameMaker users you would have thought those that had […] More

    GameMaker meets real world

    Today my Computing tutor mentioned GameMaker, woot! First time in 7 years anyone in the ‘real world’ has ever brought the subject up with me. He was considering running a ‘master class’ for year 9 (14-15 year olds). I hear there is a Moodle GameMaker course somewhere, hopefully I will get a look at it. More

    Top Game Maker related websites

    I started this as a small personal experiment to track which Game Maker sites were the most popular. Yes, we have Alexa traffic ranks (which many people will tell you are not worth the webspace they are hosted on), but there are also a number of other ranking sites out there. So I compiled data […] More
