    No time for screenshots

    An, umm, interesting conversation I found on the GMC. All about how someone can’t be bothered to provide a screenshot for their game because, and I quote, “I just don’t have time to put on a screenshot now school is back on“. And he expects people to download and rate his game. The worst thing […] More

    Sophistication for beginners

    Stop Press! There is a genius at the GMC. A topic appeared a couple of days ago in the Community section entitled: “The Game Maker Community’s Members Are Not very sophisticated“.

    Fact: Most gamemaker magazines fail

The topic, of which the GMC original appears to have been deleted, starts when a member introduces his proposals for a magazine devoted to gamemaker, only to […] More

    New GMers jumping in at the deep end

    One of the first rules of game creation is don’t be too ambitious, especially when you are working on your first game. My first gamemaker game was a space-invaders inspired game of around 1MB in size, which was created at least 4 years ago, possibly more. The download link doesn’t work anymore as I haven’t […] More
