    In the press~ish

    As part of an feature I have been writing for the 7th issue of the MarkUp game development magazine (out next month) I have been following the progress of a few game maker made games.

    Going Commercial

    A shortened version of a lengthy feature about the different ways of earning money from games you have created. This was written for the 7th issue of MarkUp (released August 2007).

    YouTube Trailer – Naruto: Ninja Way

    Continuing my investigation my investigation into gamemaker made games that have YouTube trailers I came across Naruto: Ninja Way, a fighting game, released onto the GMC by Geou.
