Almost every one at the GMC is a new comer, and they even call themselves "noobs". Which is very annoying. Remember when it was a community of showing off your latest and greatest? Now its a community of… a bunch of idiots. I am so sick of that place.
Oh yeah, YoYo Games sucks a bit too. It looks like they don't care about Game Maker as much as they should. They mostly care about their stupid website. I really wished I saw a lot more Game Maker, and a lot less crappy, pointless games from people who just discovered the program at that website.I rarely see the Game Maker logo, and that is what makes me very sad :(. Mark Overmars used to go googles about it, and I really liked that. gamemaker.nl was much better than YoYo Games from my perspective (some one who loves game maker). But from some a gamer's prespective, YoYo Games is better.We are gamers too, but mixing Game Maker with a million of pointless games is insane! YoYo Game's vision is skewed away from Game Maker, and I hate it.But when ever I want to be a gamer (play games), I find YoYo Games as nice place (kind of). Well, if you really want to play tons of stupid games on the interenet should actually goto a flash website. Sadly, YoYo Games is really only a wanna be flash games website.By the way, flash games suck.
Flash games have general "low quality" because the ease at which they can have money made. While I don't see them as bad (far from it), there are a lot of casual games made for the sake of a quick buck, so they aren't particularly innovate or interesting.
But, I've found the overall general quality of flash games to be higher than that of GM games.Kyou: don't tell that to DesertFox
Flash games are hardly ever laggy due to flash's own tweening and what-not.
Kyou's right. GM games are the lowest of the low.
I love how long it takes some people to realize that the GMC stinks. Don't take feedback there seriously, just use GMC to distribute your games, and maybe play some if you're bored, but it's not really worth being active there.
Flash is more platform independent. Flash's byte code stays intermediate throughout platforms but they player isn't. The player, or the runtime, does all the hard work of drawing things nice, anti-aliased and such. Where as gamemaker is platform dependent, windows. Flash games span as portable throughout web-browsers, and gamemaker spans across a few windows platforms but can support much extensibility. So, by that logic, why don't you integrate flash into gamemaker? ;D
If you guys think that Game Maker games suck more than flash, then what the heck are you doing here?
because 64 stopped being about gm ages ago
Thats great. I guess im leaving.
