"Yes, but we will only make one payment." - Sandy
This seems kind of limited doesn't it?
"...we’re not trying to make this technically hard, quite the opposite really. We’re genuinely interested in proving that Game Maker, and the community can make great games that work well on handhelds. If a 480X272 “view” works well for the game dynamic, then it means it would still be a good game on a 480X272 display." - Sandy
You can't use full screen or you're game will be automatically disqualified.
