    Is Game Maker News dead? Stencyl Blog.

    Scorptek’s Game Maker news blog appears to be dead, or at the very least dieing. Starting in March 2006 the blog has so far had a total of 161 posts, however the latest post on the 2nd September was the only post for that month. A little over a week ago I followed the instructions […] More

    Connect with other Game Maker Websites!

    I am pleased to announce that the Game Maker Affiliation Service has now delivered over 500,000 banner impressions. That’s 500,000 extra high quality exposures for affiliation banners dynamically rotated across 23 Game Maker related websites. But do these banner views really increase traffic? The answer is a simple yes. 2,954 site visits have been received […] More

    Need a DLL or Extension?

    GMtoolbox claims to offer a database of almost every Game Maker DLL and Extension ever released to the GMC. A good clean design, lots of categories, almost 150 DLLs and to top it off a lovely AJAX search at the top of the page. Another great thing is that site is so simple to use […] 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

    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

    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

    The importance of Mirrors

    GMKing is down. Who didn’t pay the server bills? On a more positive note I guess this maybe because the bandwidth limit has been exceeded. This is probably the most likely cause since for the past four months MarkUp’s readership has increased by an average of 249% per month. Even so, this highlights the importance […] More

    “Sensational Garbage”

    pythonpoole stated the obvious in a post at the GMC regarding the pathetic loading times of YoYoGames. Anyone should be able to tell that YoYo is slow at loading because of the sheer amount of content they have on each page. But I thought this was illustrated particularly well in this topic at the GMC […] More
