The GMC's very own friendly tyrant, Mark Alexander, also known as Nocturne, joined Bret & Ian to talk about patience in game communities, the YoYo House, game jams, interesting non-game projects created in GameMaker, photography, a ZX Spectrum-inspired game he's creating, the technology singularity, and of course, the GameMaker Community.

Yugo Limbo & Gabe Lane join Bret & Ian to discuss their nod-and-shake adventure, Smile For Me, along with designing a minimal, yet expressive format for interacting with the game's world, the challenges it presented, and the considerations developers need to keep in mind when designing Kind Games.

Petie and Dazz join us to discuss the evolution of The Spriters Resource over the past two decades. Topics include reverse-engineering, hidden secrets of game assets, sprite comics, the inevitability of all things becoming obsolete, the Great Database Delete, backups, and the strengths of working together with someone with different skills.
