I think sneakiness or no sneakiness...
as Fred touched on there it is *really* in YoYo's best interest to release GM8 *asap* & get some cash coming in...
GMMac has been sideswiped & cut YoYo off from another source of income...
it's the ideal time of year to release for maximum sales...
they'll save a fortune on not having to hire more staff for support of their custom DRM...
& now they have a clean year free of distractions to get on top of GMMac/Comps/Site etc.

GM8 really had to come out *now* for the benefit of all...
(*whatever* the intentions of the vote).

It's all good.

PS: I will eat my hat if they switch midyear from Softwrap.
(& I wouldn't want them to waste their time/money doing so either - I'd much rather that time/money go into other areas).

you now gm dhul have more functions.

like-

1.create_instance_at_direction_distance(x,y,obj_bu
let,dir+90,19)-creates an instance of 'somthing' at the given distance in the given direction from the given point.(it shuld be like moving too)
2.create_moving_instance(x,y,dir,8)-you get it. i culd not find this peace of code

What a change from many scripts already available... there's nothing needed there.

I vote Yes to Softwrap. Sure, it's given me a few problems where I had to wait on someone to e-mail me back to activate it. This has happened twice. However, even though it was frustrating, it was always fixed within a timely manner. Also, the only reasons I did have problems were due to my own error with reactivating the keys improperly. This is probably the case with 90% of the other people having issues with it.

It was never enough of a problem to ruin the Gamemaker experience.

Alrighty, voting is over. Thanks to all for your votes, and for voicing your opinions.
