What’s up GameMaker people!!! in december we got a new update!
I. Featured Map
We want to put some awesome Map Makers in the spotlight this month to recognize their hard work, highlight their creative maps, and encourage others to get inspired by their ideas.
This month’s featured map is…
Tic Tac Toe by BFI01
Tic Tac Toe is a couple months old at this point, but I don’t think it has ever got enough attention. It uses a bunch of fancy actions and was way ahead of other maps when it was made. Mainly because Fumaz added certain features specifically for this map, but STILL!
II. Maker+ Giveaway
Another Maker+ giveaway?! Last month we had our second giveaway, which was won by I forgot to do it! We’d like to show our appreciation for you all again by offering another 2 weeks of Maker+! To enter, all you have to do is to vote in the poll below!
Winners will be chosen February 14th! If I remember!
- i want maker+ for 14 days

Community Art Highlights! 
This month the art gallery is short but sweet. So this is a reminder to visit the Munchy discord and star some of the wonderful art that gets posted there!
Written by Mysaan.
Quite the bunch from this month; however, the part is wholly ending. See you next month!
