I just downloaded this to my MacBook Pro.

An empty compiled game is over 40 MB - and it uses freaking BMP files as resources!

When you push Cmd-Q in the compiled game, instead of quitting, it dumps a BMP file on the Desktop. WTF?

Parts of the program still reference the "Alt" key. Cmd-W doesn't work in the IDE.
Contrast that with the original GameMaker, that ran with less than 16 MB of RAM.

Perhaps this Mac conversion is based on an "emulator" (like WINE)

Well it is still a WIP, but you're right in that SC will always be superior in that it was specifically made for macs.

How did i miss this topic? The YoYoGames Game Maker sounded pretty cool to me.
Then I just now noticed it will only work on an INTEL mac.
i don't know whether I should be happy or pissed off. :(
