@edhe Yeah, the restrictions on the free version of GM Studio are simply asinine. However, I've heard that it's quite possible to import GM 8.1 projects (both from the Standard and Lite editions) into Studio, so I will be testing that out to see if there's a work-around.

On second thoughts, don't download Game Maker unless you're willing to pay for certain features. The free version limits you to:
+5 rooms
+20 sprites
+10 sounds
+15 objects
+5 Backgrounds
+5 Timelines
+10 Scripts
+5 Fonts
+10 paths

The ability to to export for Android and iOS costs £116.99 each, HTML 5 plugin costs £53.99 and the Standard Edition (which allows you to create unlimited resources) costs £26.99 - not a bad price if all you want to do is release games on the steam workshop. The Professional Edition is needed if you plan on developing games commercially, as the HTML 5, iOS and Android plugins are only purchasable with the Professional Edition. The Professional Edition doesn't appear to add any other features beyond that, yet it costs slightly more at £53.99.

Still, I feel this could be a gateway for me into game design and coding, and I'd be willing to go for the Standard Edition at some point. But as it stands, the Free Version just isn't worth playing around with.

Hmm, I didn't know that was out. I've always loved Game Maker so Ill look into it

The Halloween sale started late this year, huh. I'm gonna pick up Amnesia, Lone Survivor, and maybe Dead Space or the Overlord Collection.

I feel like an idiot. I finally decided to buy Half-Life and now I'm hearing about Black Mesa Source. :/ Is Black Mesa a remake of Half-Life or something entirely different?

A remake of HL 1 using the newer Source engine.

Thanks, I'll just play through HL1 and HL2: 1 and 2 before playing Black Mesa. May as well play through it.

Thanks for the heads up. I keep missing Machinarium even though it's been on the bundle 4 times now.

I don't usually use Steam, or do PC gaming in general apart from Minecraft and a bit of TF2 (mostly because my PC isn't that good for games, i think the limit for it is just about running L4D2), but today I did get Terraria, The Binding Of Isaac and Cave Story+ for £5.76 overall, which I believe is a very good deal in the Steam Sale. Sure, almost every PC gamer has those games already, but I can't wait to try them out for the first time:)

Welcome to the cult, Bulby. Terraria is definitely a good game, well worth whatever price it happened to be listed at. Cave Story+ is also a good snatch, and if you're into what Binding of Isaac offers you will get many hours out of the game. I personally found Isaac only good for one playthrough, but I've heard of many who have spent hundreds of hours with the game, so there is a large enough amount of content to justify the price.

The Steam Autumn Sale is live! Sooo...yeah...umm..I guess you can buy some games if you want? Hmm...

...A-ha! How has everybody been using/enjoying/despising the Steam Workshop? While I have yet to upload anything other than some custom Portal 2 levels, I would like to add something more substantial to a game's workshop.

I'm one of those people that has spent over 100 hours on Binding of Isaac. Awesome game if you know what you are getting into.

As far as the Autumn Sale goes, I bought Star Wars: Knight of the Old Republic. I'm not a fan of RPGs, but since it's a highly acclaimed Star Wars game, I figure I should be able to enjoy it. Also, it's single player only so I can be as awful at the game as I want and no one will judge me.

Do you guys think the first Mass Effect is worth it if I've already played through Mass Effect 2?

The only way I've found to do so is to have your computer break. saved me money until I got a PS3
