Game Maker 8.1 is out, it has more features and corrected some bugs. I hope we can make pretty good games with it
Any comment about it?

But u know i will get illegal pro version again

Illegal version has virus. :3

They made it so you can't get the Illegal version. You have to buy it and then you get a code that you put into the lite version to upgrade.

Illegal stuff is for n00bs. No offense.

I recommend you buy it, as I already have. It's a lot easier than getting a virus in your computer.

Bottom line: Buy it. Don't get illegal version.

I will get an illegal version, because i dont pay

Not getting it because I don't feel like re-downloading it. At least not right now. But just so I know, what features have been added?

And no comment about the illegal downloading. If you want to go ruin your computer, fine by me.

I think that means that gmk aren't compatible anymore. If so, HELK NO I AM NOT GETTING GM8.1 EVER.
