Featured: Game Maker Search
After the first week with our new design I'd like to light out an underappreciated feature of the new site. Weve always had a search field in the top right corner of the site but this time it works slightly different.
If you did a search for platform tutorial on the old system youd be redirected to Googles result about tutorials on platforms with 15 million results about Java, multiverse, facebook and a whole lot more results.
If you where to use the current search youll find it only shows Game Maker results and the very first hit is a tutorial (coincidently by me) on how to write a platform game where the second result is the official tutorial from the YoYo website.
The new Game Maker search system harnesses the power of Google to give you only Game Maker related results on your searches. So whether you need a tutorial or your trying to find a game you once saw or your trying to find back a topic on the GMC, this search is here for you.
If you are missing your favorite Game Maker website in the results, do let us know and well try to add it ASAP.
I hope you enjoy all the new features and do let us know what you think about them
