Game Maker Television
Gamemaker TV is a video cast that looks at various things in the world of Game Maker. We mainly focus on games made with the platform but we also cover a wide range of other things. The idea of Gamemaker TV was originally brought up by Danny (who is now the host) on July 2007. The show then progressed and we release our first episode on November 18, 2007. Since then, we have created 5 episodes. Recently, we have decided to publish smaller shows rather than full feature episodes. Hopefully this will keep our community alive while continuing to entertain and inform the Game Maker world.

Episode 7

October is hitting its end and Game Maker TV celebrates with it's very first Halloween episode. All of our reviews/spotlight consist of some of the very best horror games in the Game Maker world. This episode includes

- Review: 10800 Zombies
- Spotlight: Best horror games made in in Game Maker
- News

We put a lot of hard work into this episode so let us know what you think. Tell us if you liked the Halloween theme. We may even apply themes to future episodes. Be sure to visit our website to leave your comments or submit a comment using our contact us feature. Also be sure to check out the Game Maker TV Forums to leave comments about future episodes.

The show looks good and all the video editing and sound is really good, way better than I expected. The only problem is that the host/narrator acts too juvenile and tries to be funny but he isn't. Overall though, I thought it was good.

The host is me but thank you anyway.

Edit:

It could win you 20 dollars!

LOL

No no chicken don't be silly I'm 2 and a half.

[Mr. Limbojello]

He's 14 and does it really matter? Everything was good and done very well and that's all that should count. You don't have to be an arse and criticize people's work. I seriously think you get some kind of psychotic thrill out of bashing other people's hard work, it seems like you MUST do it.

Guys, we are starting episode 2 tomorrow. We need lots of game submittions for review!

Will you guys also review extensions or scripts?

[Revel]

Yes we do. Though we try to stick to games and programs etc, we will accept good scripts and dlls/extensions etc. You will need to use the "Submit Mail" Form for this. If we think it is good, we will review it.

I'm calling a foul.

Not everyone has QuickTime. Now, don't go and say "Then download it!" I've tried, and every site I've tried to, it's never worked. The more logical move would have been to make it viewable with Windows Media Player, as everyone who uses Game Maker most likely has Windows Media Player.

That's my only complaint, as I couldn't even view the episode.

Send a request to my e-mail. I'm not going to change the format when a majority of the people have quick-time. Just send me an e-mail and I'll get it to you.

Watch it online....

[Tuntis]

How about multiple formats? Also, a proprietary format is a bad distribution choice. XviD please

[BenRK]

That's what I'm doing, but my complaint still stands, as I would rather download the video to watch later instead of having to re-buffer it every time.

[Revel]

Guys. We are out of bandwidth 932mb out of 1.0 gigs per month. This is a huge crisis. Streaming nor downloading will be available. We will fix this A.S.A.P.
We didnt expect to much traffic.

Well, do you guys just want wmv? Because we can do that next episode if you'd like.

Wow, that was a lot better than I thought. The reviews were decent, the quality was fine, and your speech was good.
Just one thing - why the retro music in the background? I think it was a bit too loud, and shouldnt you instead use the sounds/music from the game you are showing?

Also, the ads were a bit funny. Very TV-shop-ish.

Thanks for the great review.

Anyway the bandwidth is still exceeded. But you can download the episode high quality.

And now that I've seen it, I can give a better opinion.

This has a lot of potential and I hope to see it reach a large audience, but it's not perfect.

For starters, the acting was terrible! Though there isn't much that can be done about that other than practice your lines until you can say them like you're just having a normal conversation with the audience.

Another thing that was annoying was that the clips of the games were just looping. Another thing that was annoying was that the clips of the games were just looping.

Sorry, caught in a loop there. But seriously, if you showed more of the game and had clips representing what you were talking about of the game, then it shouldn't be annoying any more.

More with the clips, I wish you would use music from the game (if the game has music) if appropriate. Of course some games will have terrible music and sound effects, and then it's ok to use stock music.

Also, you need to set your standards for ranking higher, and if you're bashing it, it shouldn't have a high score. For example...

"Terrible graphics, the music loops... always. The mini-game sucks. The game play is lacking!

4 out of 5."

I'm sure that the grading system will get better as more episodes come along.

Thats it for me. And yes, use something that all media players can play, not just QuickTime.
