Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, sorry if this question is already on here somewhere...

If I create a game using Game Maker can I compile it, etc. and sell it with no strings or is there some sort of fee attached to that?

Thanks,
Chris

There is no fee. You can just sell it.

You are the only owner of any game you create, as long as you own all of the recources included in the game.

You can sell your games, as long as you bought Game Maker Pro. I don't believe you can sell ones you create with Lite.

Please don't give advice if you aren't sure. It just adds confusion.

Actually, that's something I like about the GMC. :D People make up complete crap, and repeat made-up crap they "heard somewhere".

You can. However, it will show a "Made by Gamemaker" banner every time you start up your game. So it isn't recommended.

I think this belongs in distrubution games.

Hello everyone,

I'm new to the forum, sorry if this question is already on here somewhere...

If I create a game using Game Maker can I compile it, etc. and sell it with no strings or is there some sort of fee attached to that?

What? Just use select option in 1st menu CREATE EXECUTABLE.
Why should there be fee?

I think if you want to publish your game on PSP then you have licence problem. Big problem trust me. Because the version that does port to PSP only 4 person own it.
I believe the following people are the only once who can publish to PSP:
1-Overmars
2-Daily
3-Sandy
4-Smarty

Edit for MAC or PC as far as i remember is no licence or extra fee need.

Now all We need is for Smarty to come in here and defend himself.

Don't tell people about that. I thought no one knew that I had hacked Mike's computer to get it. Keep on the DL guys....


Now that would be funny.

You can sell everything that you own. If you are using extrenal resources, the owner(s) of resources must agree with it.

What complete and utter nonsense is being spread about me. For the record: I can't publish anything to PSP.

I only have the Wii export.
