GMking.org’s Game Development wiki service, GMpedia.org, has finally reached its 600th article milestone! Our 600th article was the “temp_directory” article, which discusses the temp_directory global variable in Game Maker.

We’re really glad to having reached such article count, which indeed makes GMpedia.org one of the most comprehensive game development and Game Maker wikis out there (not simply taking into account an article count, but also the nature and length of the articles available).

GMpedia.org is a project of GMking.org, along with other publications such as MarkUp Magazine, GMTV, and the GMking.org audcast. The wiki format of GMpedia.org makes it a very open source of information, but its great and organized structure makes information more discoverable and makes it easier for contributors to know how to contribute exactly. The GMking.org staff is also very dedicated to GMpedia, so we check when new content is added by other contributors and make sure its up to par with our standards, as well as make sure it uses proper wiki formatting, naming conventions, style guidelines, templates, etc.

Anyways, congratulations GMpedia for the 600 articles. Soon they’ll be 1000 I’m sure.. lets start counting days till then !
