This place needs to be busier.

You guys have any suggestions for increasing the GMG population?

Free muffins.

1. Create new games and re-create existing games in HTML5 GM.  Space Marine would be awesome in HTML5 GM.
2. Put games on Kongregate and other places.  Put a link to the GMG within the games, or in the text descriptions when you upload the games.  In the games is better.
3. Make sure that the server is really secure and that you're paying for enough bandwidth, because all kinds of people will come pouring in!

I like how you think! We can make a very fancy splash screen that runs when HTML5 Games load. One that advertises the GMG. Advertising the ability to make these games for free....

So the next question is, who wants to start remaking Space Marine?

[GMG Kurt]

The only question is do you want to force people to using html5 GM to advertise for the gmg?

[Gan]

Absolutely not!

They can if they want to. I will not ban or exile them. I might take away their free muffin access though.  <-- Good idea X. I might actually have to implement this.

Edit: I think I'll add the splash screen as default. And they can manually take it out of the compiled code. Or I'll add an option in settings to get rid of replace the splash screen.

Heh heh, give out muffin sigs on the forum for people who make a good game in the new GM.

A contest involving the HTML5 GameMaker (with a real prize) might draw some users in.

ohhhhhhhhhh I like that Idea 

[Gan]

Hmmm. I'm not rich yet and the HTML5 isn't popular enough to make ad revenue...

Perhaps the winner could win some type of non-monetary prize?
I can make cool lookin sigs. I can make 3D objects, animated, with someone's name in it. I can do favors, I think I'm a pretty good programmer. I can add features.

Ideas?

how about you can collect virtual trophies. Your newest one would show up by your name. Just a small GIF icon, but very distinct in design from contest to contest. A way to show "Hey I won renown"

[Connors]

We don't need to focus too much on making things just to draw in users though I think we should continue current projects and keep making games.
And I'm gonna port my collision engine one of these days.

[EqwanoX]

i disagree, we need examples to show off html gm and get peoples interest

[x]

If you get one hit game that has a cult following, everyone will be all over this place.

[Gan]

Ah man, we need Silverwind to make an RPG in the HTML5 GM!
