    GMC In meltdown

    Something is wrong at the GMC. In recent weeks there have been registration problems, reports of the first post in topics disappearing and now edits mysteriously undoing themselves And whilst compiling these links I go the oh-so-amazing “Sorry, the server is currently too busy to handle your request. Please try again in five or ten […] More

    GMC Registration Problems

    Lovely, the GMC admins have just realised that an error in their almost-3-years-old script has prevented registrations for the past week or so. Not much has been happening recently, quite a disappointment really. Guess we are just waiting for YoYo to cause another controversy to kick things off. Oh, and GameMakerTech issue 11 should be […] More

    GameMakerTech have standards

    It appears GameMakerTech have standards – hurrah! Mod gets confused at the GMC – well ‘automation’ and sellmygmgame don’t really go together… Mod gets helpful – obviously anyone not understanding GMC errors is stupid More

    GMC Spam Fest

    The GMC appears to have suddenly become popular with spammers. I love the way GMC users bump spam posts. How helpful. I reported one within minutes of it appearing and it was still there more than an hour later, albeit this time with 4 replies. More

    The Art and Science of Programming

    Everyone new to Game Maker should read this well-written article by Rick_Slick at the GMC. Computer programming is more often an art rather than a science.

It’s just whining of Softwrap, issues with their (ugh) Rails powered website or just general complaining? Come to […] More

    Why I Should Become A Mod

    Someone has been at the GMC for just over a year and it seems to have gone to their head. And to think it all began with a “few hundred emails from random supporters”. Looks like someone else has too much time on their hands. I love the “quotes” though. 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

    Promoting a game

    Promoting a freeware game will be different from promoting a commercial game – the most important thing, I think, is to be aware of who your target audience is and to make sure they see your message. Forum signatures are a great place to advertise since it is essentially free space, and if you are […] More

    An update & funny GMC posts

    Sorry for the lack of activity recently I am on Work Experience this week. I have been writing an article for MarkUp, I guess I have been prioritising that over writing here at GameMaker blog. Anyway I’ve got some time to share with you some funny topics at the GMC. Firstly from a couple of […] More
