I have not been told this new feature directly, but it’s pretty safe to say that it’s true. After all, I do have photographic evidence that YoYo is indeed working on this, despite what they are publically saying. Anyway, I can’t beat around the bush anymore. Just check out the picture below, and you should be able to pick it out fairly quick:
What? Don’t see it? See the lower portion of the dialog in focus? “Mac OS X and Linux Ports”.
Yes, Game Maker is coming to Linux. I do not know when, I do not know how, but it is. Be ready. That is all.

there is actually a Game maker like program it doesn’t produce no premade runner but it produces real C++ compiled game, it includes the libraries and functions that your game use and that makes the game size smaller and faster

bayan, that was the biggest pos i’ve ever seen in my entire life.
1. video proof? why not a demo or something, i mean i could whip up a fake program like that in a matter of minutes. just use a switch or select case, then if the text at that position is “Sprite1″ then display the text, etc..
2. even if it was real, it’s still crap. sure it might be faster and smaller, but that’s no big feat when it doesn’t do anything. basically you’re putting out this garbage and trying to compare it to gm? it doesn’t make it any better just because it’s made by you or one of your nerdy linux butt buddies.
3. nice website. very professional considering you are gm’s main competitor, and you not only beat its functionality but also beat its speed and size! your forum is nice too, it’s just filled with games and members!
4. i hope you realize the above point was sarcastic. i’d rather have a program that does something a little slower than a program that does nothing fast.

First off, this is not shopped. Anyone with any edition of the Game Maker for Mac Beta can see this by going to “Help -> About Game Maker”. Secondly, I am not Tekenu or whatever you are referring to, the name is Connor Wilkins :P. Anyway, I am not a big Linux fan, so I really don’t care either way!
