Best of wishes for 2007

We'd like to wish everyone the best of wishes for 2007 and we are looking forward to another highly productive Game Maker year. Even though we are less then a year online lets look back and see how far we have become already.

We've had 19788 hits on our website where our Dutch edition is by far the most popular. This might very well be because we haven't yet announced our site to any other forum except the Dutch GMC, our top referer. In our top 5 of referers we also see Google, 64digits, German GMC and Simon Donkers.com.

Most visitors clicked through to read Game Maker news with GMG recent reviews and 64 digits new games on place 2 and 3 respectively.
The most popular newsitem was Image contest winner very closely followed by GM7 update and a shared 3th place between Retro Adventure Contest Winners and Progress on GMS7.

The most popular non news link was The English Game Maker manual, closely followed by The Game Maker website and The Game Maker's Apprentice.
Our most popular tool was the Drag and drop icons closely followed by the GML parser and this blog.

For those following the browser war, IE is still in the lead with 51,94% with Firefox very close by on 45,51% and Opera still way below with 1,73%.

We are looking forward to yet another highly productive year, both in GM and with this website so do keep coming back for more. We have some new features in beta testing which will hopefully make this site even better. We are ofcourse always interested in partnering with other websites as well as translators to make this site even more useful. Do continue to send us your feedback in 2007 and lets make this year even better then before.

Game Maker 7 beta 1

Game Maker 7 beta 1 out now! Mark Overmars has just officially released Game Maker 7.0 beta 1.
Here's a list of some of the changes in 7.0.

- Game Maker 7.0 will have an extension mechanism allowing you to make Game Maker even more versatile then it already is.
- An extension pack is available filled with room transitions, another extension pack with Windows dialog windows and a third with printer support.
- Game Maker 7 is Vista compatible. This comes at the price of significantly higher executable size though.

Remember, this is only a beta. This version might still contain bugs so use it with care. Make backups of your projects regulary and report all the bugs you find to Mark Overmars.
Finally, you can download the beta from:
GameMaker.nl/Beta.html. Note that this beta is only available to people who have a registered version of Game Maker 6.
