For the other archivists in the forums interested in the progression of GameMaker and Game Development in general, you might enjoy going through old issues of MarkUp Magazine as much as I had.

MarkUp Magazine was quite big for a couple of years in the old GMC forums (original topic). It ran for a couple of years until 2009. I had stumbled on old issues of the magazine and archived them on my website and shared with the GMC back in 2013 in the old GMC. I recently went over these again and wrote a few more notes about it and figured I'd share it here with some thoughts.

Most of these pieces will be more historically interesting than practically useful. Looking over it, though, I noticed a few interested threads:
  1. Articles by game developers on making and publishing their games show interesting contrasts with the game publishing process of today;
  2. A lot of pieces on the state of the GMC at the time
Hope others get a kick out of this too.
