    YoYo Games

    Why is it that ever since GM got on the YoYo train, the GMC started getting a sudden flood of an average of 5 (this is a Probably Not CorrectTM statistic) complaint and/or problem topics a day? It’s just whining of Softwrap, issues with their (ugh) Rails powered website or just general complaining? Come to […] More

    Gnazine, Pt. 2

    And gNAZIne, my Game Maker magazine of choice returns with a stunningly awesome second issue! This issue contains 12 whopping pages of quality text, and best of all, free advertisement to Markup, GMTech, GMTV and some other parties. What’s even better, there are no movie reviews in this time: just plain GM material (with the […] More

    YoYoGames Reinstated

    In a change of fortune it has been announced by YoYoGames that they have been reinstated into Mashable’s Open Web Awards. Voting opens on Monday. What a mess. Not sure why this means so much to so many at the GMC… More

    YoYoGames Disqualified!

    Despite receiving around 25% of the nominations YoYo have failed to reach the final 10 nominations for Mashable’s Open Web Awards, disqualified because the nominations “came from the exact IP address several times.” YoYo’s James Peddie doesn’t seem to be too pleased, and if I were him I wouldn’t be either. In my opinion these […] More

    Quantity is Good

    In a message on his blog Mark has reiterated the fact that YoYoGames is for all Game Maker made games and not just the best as the total number of games on the YoYo website exceeded 10,000. This responds to some criticism on the GMC where some people have come up with the crazy idea […] More

    YoYo Host GameMaker 7 Pro Crack

    You would think that YoYoGames would be fighting against cracks. Apparently not. I wrote a post in August highlighting my experiences of contacting YoYo regarding the presence of Game Maker 6 cracks on YouTube – they just didn’t care. Fair enough I suppose given that YoYoGames only took over Game Maker from version 7, and […] More

    Not News

    Apparently it’s not news but I’m glad to see YoYo have been keeping the community informed of what has been going on recently. Online highscore tables are a feature being investigated. More

    YoYo and community involvement. No, you aren‘t dreaming. YoYoGames have announced that they are going to hold their first Game Maker competition. Not to be outdone by the gamemakerrace competition YoYo have announced that there will be $1,750 in cash prizes on offer, and have given programmers a month and a half to get their […] More

    Open Source Game Maker

    Game Maker consider going Open Source (well maybe one day). Don’t think this will happen with the incompetence shown by YoYoGame so far, but you never know. A move away from registration based income to advertising revenue would obviously need to happen here but it would, if it happens, help increase the popularity of GameMaker […] More

    Thoughts on Instant Play

    There has been a lot talked about, or rather written about, the recent addition of an Instant Play to YoYoGames. Most of the comments are positive however there have been some complaining that their games do not appear to be compatible with instant play, and of course there have been those moaning that they want […] More

    Cynical view of 22nd September YoYo News

    More possible platforms. Nothing definite. Wait until at least next year to hear anything more. “We’ve signed a maintenance agreement with our Web Developers which means more regular site updates and tweaks. Starting next week, this will happen at least twice a month. “ Twice monthly updates, how revolutionary… More
