Game Maker 8 was released today. I haven't had a chance to register it yet, but I noticed that it comes with a fair share of resources by default. Other than that, it looks good so far, can't wait to use it more in-depth.
Do they have a change log or anything? Or are there major bullet points as to what is different about this version from previous? I'm curious...

That's about the closest thing that I can find.
I'm also loving the new logo. I'm not sure how many followed the whole debate surrounding the new logo, but I'm pleased with the decision.
I feel like this should have been a free update to gm7 but hey its nice to see it growing and being worked on. If they make money and are able to make the next game maker better then yay.
One of the biggest things i like about this is the new script editor. Im downloading the free/lite/unregs vs now.
The new logo was originaly going to be...

Haha. The top one is a little bit scary. People completely raged when they saw that it was the new logo. Yoyogames received death threats, complaints, etc.
As avgn would say "what were they thinking!?"
I have installed an took a quick look and it seem a lot more professional introduction to the software. Other than that it seems the same. But this is only like the first 10 secs with it.
question. . . If you paid for GM7 do you have to pay for GM8?

Yoyogames received death threats,
That was me...
Any way once I finish my game I will switch right away.
Is there a way to save all your files to gm8 without losing anything?
Yeah the new logo is by far betting then that kiddish smiley.
Hahahaha, yeah, all the adults probably looked at it and said "I don't want this to target 13 year olds, and this logo will do just that!" If only they knew that wouldn't make a difference!
Did anybody notice the pacman in the second logo?
If you haven't found it yet look!

It's not a Pacman, it's a cross between a 'G' for Game Maker and a power switch symbol.

Who the hell would send death threats because of that logo? I mean yeah, it's incredibly bad, but nor worth killing people over. (Then again, I seem to be overestimating people here...) Like the 2nd a lot better.

Everybody is an idiot. Live to understand that, and it all begins to make sense.
Still looks like pac-man to me.XD
But yeah I'm so glad they changed the logo.
And the death threat was probably a joke, I doubt anyone really would kill just for a bad logo XD, but if they were serious, then that's just ridiculous. But yeah, the second is waaaaaaay better, that smile is just disturbing...
Im gonna miss the old one though, it was so simple, yet so... gamemakery.
I dont know why people hate of softwrap, it's perfectly fine to me...

Would be fine if programs using it didn't randomly decide to stop launching on my laptop :P Also pretty weird that it puts some of its registration files in your default shared/public folder on your computer.

Didn't they say they were getting rid of it? !@#$...
Also Game maker traditionally has the change log in the help document under "What's New".
I really like the new GML editor!
:p

It actually was intended to be a Pac-Man.
I think Mystery was being sarcastic.
