Update: GameMaker Studio Standard is now 100% free.
GameMaker Studio version 1.2.1214 was just released, and with it comes an offer to upgrade to the Standard edition free of charge. Valued at $50, GameMaker Studio Standard is a significant improvement upon the free version of the software which imposes harsh restrictions on the resources that developers can make use of.
Additionally, developers can use their free Standard edition license to upgrade to the Professional edition for only $50 more. It’s likely that this is a time-limited offer, so if you’re using the free version of GameMaker Studio be sure to act quickly.
Race.a.bit is available to the public for free for the next couple of weeks. The game has a huge social component – players can create their own levels with a powerful editor, share their tracks and times with players worldwide across all operating systems and can send challenges to other players to beat their best times on any track they completed. All the developers ask is a tweet/facebook post.
