So which versions of Game Maker do people here use the most? I've got a ton of old engines and examples which I'm thinking of revamping and repackaging to leave my mark and the beat this joint, but they're all from the 5.3 and 6.0 age; some have several different versions of each including registered and non-registered versions. I never really got into GM 7.No way I going to make versions for every different kind of GM user out there so I'd like a little consensus of who uses which version and how many are registered. Is it safe to say that GM 7 is the standard now thanks to the YoYo Games thing?
Your community is a bunch of stuck up turds.
Hm, seriously? Crap, I hope it's 100% compatible with 7, or I'm out. I guess 6 has been basically replaced by 7 but some people still prefer 5.3 because of some things that were taken out of newer versions, like exclusive graphics mode, screen gamma, sound pitch shifting, some draw functions, and so on.Still, a few more replies would be helpful just to see which version(s) I should stick with.

To be honest, I'd say you should just move onto other things. Game Maker seems more appropriate for the beginner in Game Design. I don't necessarily think Mark Overmars initially expected people to stick to it as a primary design tool. That could explain why it's so limited in design. It's definitely an experience that's really nice to go through; although, that's just that. The experience shouldn't just stop at GM. It should expand further than that. I don't mean to criticize you and your views, I am just expressing my opinion on "what you should stick with". I hope that answers your question .
