YoYo Games will help developers publicize their titles with GameMaker: Player

YoYo Games, the creator of the GameMaker: Studio game engine, has launched a new service that enables developers to play and share games made with YoYo’s tools — helping address the immense problem of discovery.

The GameMaker: Player service lets developers share their games with a million monthly visitors to the YoYo Games site as well as with gamers worldwide. GameMaker: Player also shares concepts and early access builds, and it distributes games for free or paid models on multiple devices and platforms.
