it might on the people playing ur games....

so, whats better? 5.0 or 5.1? it look likes GM is going commercial/shareware now. Now you have to register in order to get any of the new features...which is why im sticking with version 5.0 either until i decide to register or i become fluent in C++...whatever come first :unsure:

Whats your opinion on having to register to get any of the new feature out of GM 5.1?

5.0 all the way. i don't wanna pay for a game maker. all the ideas i have can most likely be done in GM5.0, so why would i need 5.1? i know it has more features and all, but i don't think it'd have a huge effect on me then GM5.0. just my thoughts on this issue....

GM 5.1 is 4 times faster than GM 5.0...that could have an effect on your game :lol:

well, i've already got a fast computer, and patience (dial-up for 4 yrs.), so i don't think it being faster would really have an effect on me either.

my games aren't too big. i don't think i'm ever gonna have a game more then 3mb, so even w/o gm5.1, it'll still load fairly quick (unless it's Win3.1 or something like that).

i guess...

I agree with Mark. It is okay you need to register to get some of the new features. The first time he ask for money was a donation at 5 €/$. At 4 weeks 12 people donated. It is not much with a community at 6000 members isn't it?
This new features are not avaible before you pay. It is a way to make people paying.

People dont want to pay Mark for making a great software. And I don't understand why!

The community has 10000 members Snabela.

Yes. Right now. But this is over a half year ago.

I registered, and I can assure you thet the new features are worth every penny. But aside of that, we are talking about the easiest game making prog I ever saw, with many easy features, powerful engine etc. etc. and I don't think that you can expect to get all that just for free. And he isn't asking much at all, -the only problem is that he makes expenses in the development, and the peopel who use the program are the only people you can rightfully ask to pay. So: He does.

So hes milking the GM cash cow? But just what are his expenses that he makes making GM?

He use money for the copyright, the forum, the domain, etc.

i guess...GM is shareware now and theres nothin anyone can do about it. <_<

Just pay the fee and be completely free.

:( :( :( :( :( we don´t have a credit card only a bank pass to get money from banks and my parents don’t trust money transfers via email so i think i never get the new options of gm 5.1 maybe after 6 years or something :( :( :( :( :( becuase i am 11 and i don’t have a credit or bank pass by myself

Surface mail is possible too.

snail mail?...i REALLY don't trust that...

I did it and now I have a registration code!

well, i'd have to mail it half way around the world...i think it might get lossed or stolen along the way... :(

I did and I had no hassles.

Well, good for u! :P

Yeah...
Good for me.

yeah, good for u and mark...dunno about anyone else though...

Good for all who regestered.

Bad for the thousands who didn't.

Grrrrr...

You can mail it as "Priority" mail. I got a CD With that!

i never thought of that...

What?

Access forbiden! :(

the final version of 5.1 was released today!
YAY! (for all of those who registered! <_< )

Is it good?

its the same as the beta, DLL and multiplayer functions are restricted to registered users...so if u haven't registered, then u should stick with v5 or do the "other" thing. ;) :lol:
