He’s not too good at it, is he?

Anyway, sounds like a bit of a bulge in the budget. GM8 sales must be pretty high.

Yeah, screenshots / thumbnails are coming. I wanted to just take some new screens last night, as I am not sure what I did with all the older high-res ones, but none of the games are set up to work on Windows 7… and I don’t have Windows XP installed on any of my old computers right now.

So I figured that this is sort of a two-birds-with-one-stone thing, and I am working on converting the games over to be Vista / 7 compatible with Game Maker 8. I spent a few hours last night on Evolites, and I actually made a few small improvements to the game while I was in there, so be on the lookout for that and the others soon.

Any other comments would be appreciated as well.

I agree, thumbnails are a good idea, and some screenshots, would be awfully nice as well

Nice. How about some thumbnails to go to the side of the list. Would make it prettier.

Thanks David – what version of Game Maker are you using to load the file? I might have to tweak it for GM8, since these were all made in GM7.

I have no idea how the reply mechanism works but…

Martin, in doing these comparisons almost spec for spec, I can certainly tell these people with said familiarity with the parts that them apples are expensive, not overpriced.

To be fair, the Mac pro and higher end laptops really do need to be updated as they are gathering dust, but apple I guess decided to take a safe shit and develop a crap tablet instead.

Apple left out a lot of bells and whistles off to lower the price. I wouldn’t say its a high price, but overpriced for what it is. Frankly when I saw the iPad, I thought to myself “over-sized iPod”. It truly is just an iPod with less convenience.

Just let me know when someone releases an omni-tool. Until then I’m sticking with my laptop.
