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

    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?

    Review: Arena (Dennis Toney)

    As featured in MarkUp July 2007: What they say: Arena is the two-player game where opponents battle within the confines of a random maze. With lots of options and multiple paths to victory, Arena is never the same game twice. This is a great rivalry game where two good friends can sit down and blast […] More

    Ahoy there! After a couple of days delay the fifth issue of MarkUp, the only GameMaker magazine to be endorsed by YoYoGames, has been released.

    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
