I wonder if you could do me a favor please? See this page... http://www.yoyogames.com/games/158721-mafra

Please download the game and rate it for me. It's the second game i've made with Game Creator. Note: you don't have to install the plugin to play it.

If you find any bugs (not including the insects in the game, lol) please tell me.

Old school platform fun. I thought it was good. I found the bugs homing unerringly on my position a little annoying. I liked the music.

Thanks Moog.

I thought 1 star was a bit harsh, maybe they were having problems playing it, i don't know.

That is harsh. Maybe it's an internet thing.

many people today think that anything that doesn't look like CoD or Battlefield is crap...

the game is okay, though there are a few bugs here and there, but it might have been related to my browser crashing a little while ago
I bet if you were given the right tools and knowledge, you could make it 100x better... look into C# and XNA to make games in. It takes time, though, as you have to make an engine from the ground up, but the results will show :)

I recently finished a project where to classmaates and I made a rather adaptable tile engine and an educational horror RPG to go with it :D

Thanks, I think there might be a few problems with Chrome and the GM plug-in. Is there anywhere where i can upload this game so more people can download it? I was thinking something like http://download.cnet.com so people can freely download it. I can't seem to upload anything on to that site so must be for publishers only.

cnet is for publshers and companies afaik, not so much for individuals.
I have tried once to get a system info utility of mine hosted there, but they declined, even though it's somewhat on par with CPU-Z, but since CPUID themselves can be described as being a company (or at least a few people and their computers), and I have made the program all by myself, I think they are pretty gung ho on hosting company/foundation stuff only.

One option might be to make your own website for your games, programs, etc.
An example could be my own website, although it hasn't been updated in about a year.
Your own website gives you more flexibility IMO, as you can expand it with (dev)blogs, articles and additional content.

The main problem is that many of the so-called download sites don't want to host software that hasn't been made from scratch, like your games. There are two reasons for this: First because they would quickly be flooded with small, and most likely, crappy games from everone with access to similar programs like game maker. Secind reason is to avoid licensing problems, as the programs you make may use propietary code and libraries.

I think it's cool that you made a game. I have my own ideas, but unfortunately don't have the tools or the knowhow to make them games. *~* However, I am detailed in my descriptions and People tell me that the game ideas I make are Zelda in story telling. Maybe you could help me put them together. Although an amature artist, I am apparently a very good writer and love to do just that. Write. I've got a fanon topic set up as Fanon:Sly. Give it a look. Bye!
