Hi guys I have just finished reading a few posts about GS forgetting about us and another one with a list of demands!! I mean seriously I understand that people want more features that puts us on par with XCODE developers, but these posts have made me feel annoyed with the way that the same people keep steering on about these topics.
Ok lets break it down nice and simple yes pause should come back and thanks to Yoda it's certain that it will.
All the features on Giacommo Poppi's (detailed) demand list is what the average XCode PROGRAMMER has available but we are not programmers!!!!! Understand that!!
People have been posting about alternative software but they demand programming code even tho it's cutdown. GS is the only software that allows none programmers (that's u and me) to create games to the level that we have.
Now this has started a trend of community members trying to make a living out if this software and if people don't support the GS by buying express or Pro then GS will go under! It will not be around forever and is only available because Apple hasn't stopped it. Think about what would happen if it shut down tomorrow then what? Enjoy it for what it is and the success that we are having.
It was my intention to have a rant and who am I? Someone who can see the bigger picture.
GS will deliver it's in their intreats for self preservation but until drag and drop becomes available from other venders it's all we none programmers have otherwise you already have Xcode installed USE IT!
Chogie out x

I think that many people, including myself are wondering how corona manage to do so much more compared to GS.
I Know how to Xcode, I have been programaing for a lot of years, but it is SO SLOW, that I don't want to return there!
So I will stay with GS!
and it still takes less time than to code in xcode...
I'm only saying that GS is slowing down (i mean the whole "project") and that many people are thinking about changing creator because of this.

I'm not considering anything with coding, and I don't think very many really are. People are here for the simplicity... and that comes at a price.

HAPPY NOSE JOB!: Nesen Probe is on the App Store. If anyone want's to try it out, codes are still available near the end of this thread: http://gamesalad.com/forums/topic.php?id=8097
I for one appreciate Gendai's efforts with Gamesalad. It's not easy pushing all these features into their engine, optimizing it, and making it user friendly for non-programmers.
If you're not happy, then learn how to program with xcode, and you'll see just how difficult, and how it sucks the fun out of programming games.
And would people prefer little updates with more consistency, or wait for a massive update with way more features!
Be patient, it will be worth the wait.
I think i might move on to corona in a couple of months... I just don't think gs is powerful enough...
I bet that if Joe or Tshirtbooth ad made their games in corona they would have ended up in the top 100 section.
Users notice instantly if it has been made with GS so they leave terrible reviews...
:S
Am i the only one who thinks it this way?
The best new feature that could be introduced to stop itunes users being disappointed with GS games would be a quality filter.
GS certainly has a reputation which is why I don't want the gamesalad splash screen, but I'm certainly not paying 2K for PRO. They really need to lower the price.
That's the number one reason I want to get rid of the loading screen!
I kinda agree with their comments about how a lot of people do buttons. You need to give the user some indication that the button was pressed. Put a change image in the "Touch is pressed rule" and put the action in the "Touch is released" rule.
Other games I've played coded in xcode don't necessarily have a graphic indicator, but rather a sound effect. But since the scene loads so quickly, the issue goes unnoticed
