Now, this person, goes by the name of Mark Overmars, now I am sure you have many questions that you would like to ask him, which is why he as agreed to a do a 'Mark Overmars: Answers Almost Anything', so if you have got a questions about the future with YoYo Games, if you want to find out more about this Mac support, or the possibility of there being a GM8, or whatever to do with Game Maker, well here is your chance.

Niice.

One you may NOT want to ask, is he worried about Josh's ENIGMA project?

ENIGMA Project? - Do you have a link to that or something, I wouldn't mind checking it out. I am guessing its a simple tool to make applications.

After a quick search, i managed to find it

Mark's pretty good about answering questions. He prefers if you ask Yoyo support for most, but that's what I like about him.

gamez93 16 years, 11 months ago

@Shadow Yoshi - I have got some questions on that already, I would post them here, but then it will require constant updating.

@Kilin - Yea, he does try and answer most questions, this interview session is mainly asking about GM and YoYo Games, so its not support on getting activated.

So any questions you want asked, post here now.

Macs are barely made for computing.

What does he think about GM's security, and will it improve in the future?

GM compiler? Could it be?

It is a very sad magazine.

@phazon yoshi - Your question has been added.

@Shork - I did that, just to see if anyone was going to read the whole blog, that and the keys were right next to each other. Thanks for pointing it out, I will correct it now - and do you have any questions?

Also I changed the name of the blog, since the first one didnt seem that right.

@Shork: You have to start somewhere.

Actually, when I first heard his mention of GM Mac in the dev blogs, I was quite excited. :) Just because I have a lot of friends that use Macs.
