welcome
Smell the fresh air? No, don’t go running outside yet. I’m talking
about the fresh air given o our improved magazine design forissue 11. We hope it’s given you a break from the old same look
-
ing layout that we have had for the last 5 issues. The best part of the new design is that it’s a lot cleaner and feels that lile morefull. You would have also noced our new clean issue cover de
-
sign. In addion, the reviews secon has been re-designed toprovide bigger reviews.
Previously it was suggested bookmarks should be added to the
magazine to make navigaon easier. Starng from this issue wehave introduced a new interacve contents menu. The contents
list (on the right) allows you to click on any subject in the list
and it will take you to that page. It works in the same way book
-
marks do, however we decided to provide something a bit dif
-
ferent instead of the plain-old PDF bookmarks.
So what is in this issue? Well I guess you are going to have to
read it to nd out. I’m sure you will nd the arcles and reviews
in this issue to be another juicy read. But a few of my favourite
picks for this issue would be: Violent Games - Why So Popular?,Wring a Good Help File, U3D v2.0 Exclusive Interview and theLove Up! Preview. So be sure to check those out. Also checkout the “Visit Snow Moon” arcle to receive a special oer onlyavailable through Game Maker Technology Magazine.
The Game Maker Technology Wiki has also been going through
many changes. Recent updates have brought the commentsand rang system for all the pieces of content present in thewiki. There have also been quite a lot of new pieces of contentthat have been put online, so be sure to check out the LatestChanges area on the wiki. While reading through the magazineyou may see a note at the end of the arcle asking you to readthe full or extended version on the wiki. This is a bonus for peo
-
ple who want to read a lile more on some of the arcles.Enough about us, what’s happening in the Game Maker World?Well not a lot so far. YoYo Games has celebrated its rst yearrunning and 100,00 registered users. The next big news to come
out will be the release of the Mac version of Game Maker. Then
you can expect news about the C++ rebuild of Game Makerand when the next The Game Maker Race compeon will be.
Other than that, there have been some cool new games created
recently and posted on the GMC and YoYo Games Website.

YYG: YoYo for a year
YoYo Games has been running for a year and is also celebrat-ing 100,000 registered website. The YoYo Games website waslaunched last year near the end of February. YoYo Games is

YYG: Future Website Upgrades
YoYo Games has been looking into three possible website up
-grades lately. One concern for many was the removal of the
“Download Game” buon on the website, allowing games tobe played VIA “Instant Play” only. This was one measure YoYoGames could take to prevent games being decompiled. How
-
ever many opposed this idea and recommend the user should
have the choice to allow his/her game to be downloaded oronly available through Instant Play. YoYo Games then agreed to
the suggeson on giving the user a choice.The next plan for YoYo Games is: In game adversing. This willallow ads to appear during the game when played VIA InstantPlay. YoYo Games has yet to decide who the service provider
(that delivers these ads) will be.
Lastly, “Ad revenue sharing” will be the next big improvementallowing game developers to receive money from their games.YoYo Games is sll looking into how this system will be setup.

Every now and then you come across a real gem of a website. I’ve found a few sites recently that I think
more people ought to know about.
First is
. This site is an index of many of the bestGame Maker DLL’s and extensions. Its designer, Opcal Liam,apparently has an obsession with aesthecs. The one-pagesite uses well over 400 lines of Javascript for a fancy automat
-
ic searching, sliding things opened and closed with fade andsmoothly scrolling the browser all over the page. I’m not sure if this is good of bad, but it can keep you entertained for a while.Eye candy notwithstanding, it really does nd things well. It has
a very large list of tools, with things I’ve never heard of like PH-
P4Games and DraggerDLL. It’s denitely worth a bookmark.
which is basically a topsites list. The thing that makes this sitestand out is its usability; there are several topsites lists, but thisis probably the most useful. It’s registraon is very streamlined,
and it allows you to visit sites with one click or view detailed
descripons and nonexistant rangs (it doesn’t seem to have
much user feedback yet). Sites can be searched or sorted by cat-
egory, with a few “top in x” stasc secons on the homepage.There are many more, but these are just a couple sitesworth vising, if for nothing else than to make sureyour stu is listed.
