Inside GameMaker's mission to democratize Steam Greenlight, and find the next Super Crate Box: "This is not just about getting game developers to critique other game developers’ content."GameMaker: Studio was among the first non-gaming software to be released on Steam three months ago - a tool for game development across all levels of ability, for ages 0-99. Or at least, from entry-level to wizened professional.

It arrived with the ability to upload your completed game onto the GameMaker portion of the Steam Workshop for others to play and critique, with the eventual goal of developers getting their game into the Steam store. To show the seriousness of their intent, they’re offering a $1000 bounty to the top rated game on the workshop.

GameMaker: Studio patch makes software Windows 8 compatible; competition launched to encourage submissions

Bringing it up to speed in line for the release of Microsoft's new operating system, Yoyo Games have released a patch allowing GameMaker: Studio to export games directly to the Windows 8 marketplace (where they'll be vetted by Microsoft folk before appearing for sale). The patch will be applied to the Standard, Professional, and Master Collection editions of the software, so those of you who have been dabbling with the free edition won't be able to make use of this update.

If the patch isn't enough to push you into laying down money for one of the GameMaker releases, Yoyo Games and Microsoft are hoping to tempt you with $500. More on that below.
