    Game Maker Awards 2007 – Results In.

    The results of the somehow ‘Official’ and this year very controversial (to some people anyway) Game Maker Awards 2007 are now in. Thank goodness, hopefully this saga can finally come to an end. 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

    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

    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. […] More

    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

    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
