    Testing Times

    I recently answered an invitation in the team request section of the Game Maker Community forum asking for people to help test the early beta of a game.

    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

    Three word book reviews

    Well actually slightly more than that. 9 words, I lied. When choosing the books Beginning 3D Game Programming: Yeahy! Sounds cool. Agile Software Development: The next best. After a quick flick through Beginning 3D Game Programming: ehh? Really? Hmm… Agile Software Development: Management waffle. Heavy. After a longer read Beginning 3D Game Programming: Not for […] More

    Need a DLL or Extension?

    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

    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

    GameMaker Magazine: MarkUp Issue 5

    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. No doubt you’ll have already seen it on the GMC, Grego’s blog or elsewhere so I won’t copy and paste the contents list as a space-filler. You should read it […] More

    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

    GMLScripts.com

    One of the sites I promised to take a look at quite a while ago now was GMLScripts.com. Each month a script from GMLScripts is featured in MarkUp, and the site was also suggested for mention by a reader of this blog. GMLScripts currently contains over 100 scripts for use in Game Maker, and the […] More
