Neato. Nice to see all this work. There's a bunch of crossover between Pie in the Sky and RSD Game-Maker. Many of the same users, roughly the same time period. I didn't see on a few scans -- are these being collected somewhere in particular, online? Is there a repository?

Anyone who's interested, this Saturday Glorious Trainwrecks is celebrating the release with a two-hour game jam: http://www.glorioustrainwrecks.com/node/7454

Yeah, I've always been fond of Game-Maker. It's a weird system, no doubt, but designing a game in this feels somewhere between snapping together Lego bricks and fiddling with the level editors in Lode Runner and Excitebike. Except it's for a full game. I think that game-like tone to the design …

There's a bunch of potential! As eccentric as the game engine may be, the design environment is really great to play around in. If it could be updated and expanded in a sensible way, this could turn into something pretty cool.

Hi there! As of this morning, RSD Game-Maker has gone open source. Here is the source code to version 3.0, as distributed on GitHub. Right now it's early days for the project, and specific goals have yet to be defined. Here is the code to explore, though! https://github.com/gandrewstone/GameMaker

Right. cd.textfies.com has been intensely valuable, especially for those discs where the files are uncompressed -- meaning I can just search for individual file names and file types. I've found a bunch of software and resources this way. Where the discs contain a bunch of zip files, it's time …

Whoa. So they do. Problem is, there's no easy way to tell what's on these CDs. For some of them, maybe a side search will turn up a software list. For most, though, you just have to download the thing and sift through. Which... is doable, I guess. But if one were looking for something in particular, …

Thanks so much, swaaye! I hope you guys realize that not everything on a magazine CD/floppy was public domain. Some stuff was released under license from the copyright holder and it wouldn't be legal to distribute that stuff. Without knowing what is still copyrighted and what isn't, you're asking …

Hey, sorry to bump the old topic -- but better than starting a new one, I figure! Keep it all in one place. Is there a chance that someone could repost the 6-95 CD-Rom Today disc somewhere? I did have this at one point, but it seems to have gone missing. I would greatly appreciate it.

Hey! Sort of an interesting development. Alan Caudel of the Dummy Duck webcomic (a person who, I will specify, is not me) is now working on a varied NES styled DOS-based adventure-platformer thing. https://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/399646_334816386613677_744849743_n.jpg https://sphotos-a. …

Hey, the URLs are shorter. I'm sorry if they're the wrong flavor. So, nothing new then?

Hiya. I'm trying to record for posterity as much as I can about Recreational Software Designs' Game-Maker. Is anyone here aware of any games not on the following lists? http://bit.ly/iXa2I8 http://bit.ly/iqHdpl I've another list of games that I've seen referenced, some of which (like the Dummy Duck …
