Seems like my only blog post.

Hello everyone,

I have been using GM7 for many years now and have found out recently that Windows 8 won't support games made with Game Maker 7. I have tried to purchase GMS or even GM8.1, but to my dismay, the credit card company won't allow me to make ANY purchases through YoYo Games. Curse them for not taking Paypal! Curse them! So I have no choice but to discontinue making games until some miracle happens that will allow me to continue programming. I have always enjoyed making games, but sometimes, life just slits your throat.

I've got a GMS license with iOS export, that I bought for someone that I never ended up using. I've opened it once, so I don't think yoyo will have a problem with me selling it to you.

Only thing is that I have to sell it with the iOS thing. =P

But anyway, welcome to 64D. =)

Wait, Windows 8 doesn't support GM7 games?

Well, damn. I guess I'll have to upgrade at some point, then.

Oh, and hello.

Windows 8's not terribly popular though, so you could get away with it for a little while. Unless you're on Windows 8. My condolences if that's the case.

Really, if there's one thing that almost makes me want to shell out cash moneys for GMS it's all the platform support – using 8.1 and only making games for Windows just feels wrong in this modern age.

You could check out Enigma, the free GM-compatible multiplatform engine, made by some of our own.

I do hope they make a converter though, like the GM6 for Vista/7 one, because I've got a large collection of GM7 made games I'd like to be able to play when I eventually upgrade.

I have gone through enigma and it is providing all features for games.I have full prediction that very soon this enigma environment will become popular in game world as it is giving so much facility.
