With the recent Software Update, Apple have recently released the App store for all iMac and Macbook users. Providing Apple users with many new and almost undiscovered applications, the App store allows easy access and instillation to these programs. This is big news for program designers and game developers as all Mac users have access to this App Store, potentially giving companies a substancial rise in sales in their Mac-based products.
Already, game designers have started putting their projects for sale up on the App Store such as the legendary Lugaru HD from Wolfire. Along with the game applications, engines have also started to crop up such as Game Maker. This is a big leap for Game Maker as they've only recently been available to Mac users.
This now offers Game Maker developers another audience to showcase their projects to, not just windows users. I'm also hoping that this wise move will allow a larger sum of inexperienced game developers to learn and develop their knowledge in game design in order to progress their skills further, with Game Maker being easy and simple to use.

Excellent game creation program, (only one that I have used), but some one needs to update this page! A new version of game maker was released (8.1) some time ago, and I don't think that that is mentioned here. However, this is a great program, and I highly recommend for everyone to try it out.
I've heard from reliable sources that World of Warcraft was made in this engine. Can anyone please confirm this information?
O YEAH, IT WAS
yep, it was, world of warcraft was made using game maker. I confirm it... completely, no chance that I'm lying.
To rangerC, the best way to get in to game development is to start out in 3d. Gamemaker is a beautifully done, flexible program onto which I have invested much time. When I moved on to the third dimension, I realised gamemaker no longer had the greatest toolset, so I went on to the source engine. Moral is, game development is a learning process, and the skills you learn here will help you later on- so don't be so quick to judge a software based on half-arsed attempts, and take a look at the great games developed by inspired people.
And "I hate to bring up age but "years ago", your profile says your 15, I doubt you where developing years ago."
Guys, I started Blender when I was about 12 and gamemaker earlier than that, haha.
I stared game maker and art of illusion when i was like 9, and 3ds max when i was like 11.
And now somebody need to update it.Current version is GM8.1
