Can someone clarify the whole hammers thing for me?

Also what a PAINFULLY UGLY logo. Not only can they not even do a logo properly, the smily itself is an abortion.
Thankfully the creator's full name, Albert Zak, has been published everywhere and will undoubtedly show up in Google for many years to come, which means no serious design bureau would consider hiring him for anything other than licking envelopes.

Hammer and ball was the original logo for Gamemaker.

Mac Version of Game Maker Delayed Indefinitely
Sorry to bring bad news, but our Mac Developer has resigned this morning with pretty much immediate effect. The existing beta has expired and there is little point in releasing another candidate as there is nobody to deal with bug reports. There are still too many bugs, so until we know how and when we can complete the project, we’ve taken the painful decision to temporarily suspend our plans to produce a Mac version of Game Maker. We’ll keep you updated with developments as soon as we have any news.

Anyone with extensive experience with Lazarus development and a good understanding of OpenGL should feel free to contact us at yoyogames.mojohelpdesk.com.

you are hearing correctly. yoyogames is asking for open help on trying to get the mac version of game maker completed. some other quotes in the comments by sandy:

Quote

The Mac Game Maker developer was a contractor. His family asked him to cut down his workload. We might have some better news next week.

Quote

You got as much warning as I did. The developer is a contractor and we pay him for performance. He was struggling to make a the “final” milestone and was under pressure from his family, so he basically stopped work with no notice.

in other words yoyogames hired some random guy to do the mac version and apparently he is unable to do it now. i think decision making skills are not the strong point of yoyogames.

Amen to that.

Yoyogames screwed up the whole point of Gamemaker, to create some cool games, to, "Hey there kids! Want to make a game! Ok open up this example and change the graphics and sounds! Here is your fun game!!!1".

Ho. ly. shit.

It's one thing to be scammed by a make-believe programmer who doesn't actually do any work, but not even realizing it afterwards? That's stupidity on a WHOLE OTHER LEVEL.

I don't really like Yoyogames. They don't seem to have good legs to stand on, and their vision for Game maker's future isn't as ambitious as it should be. I mean I'm sorry but its been maybe 6 years since I've even touched the thing, and its barely even improved in its capabilities.
