edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Im really starting to get frustrated now; we need an update for Heavens sake!!! Im looking for in-app purchases to come out and that will be the most amazing time of my life. Also, the memory leaks in my games need to be fixed too. Has ANYONE gotten any info on when the new 0.9.0 version is coming??

    Saturn is lined up with the big dipper and my dog is using her right paw to scratch her ass even though she is clearly left pawed. So I'm thinking tonight's the night.

    Well, things do look really bad. There's supposed to be a meet-up in NYC this Thursday, but the exact time and location has not been specified. It's been over two months since the last update and there was no "big-picture" update during September.

    I agree, I'm not going to ditch GS that's for sure, but I am looking at other options for game #2.

    Yeah I am getting quite concerned myself. It doesn't take long to post an update or just to say "Were still here and working on the update".

    Not great customer service to keep your customers in the dark.

    I love GS just posting my 2 cents on the issue.

    Thats what is happening to me...
    When I started Gamesalad last year there was an amazing update every 2-4 weeks!
    So I was convinced that all the memory leeks and horrible glitches would be fixed. Not right away but it was on track. It still is, but the GS team now seems as if they think that they can say nothing and still have their community... I for this reason have started to return to Objective-C, using the Cocos2d libraries. If a spectacular update is released I will continue to use GS but the "magic" is gone. Eventually I am only going to use GS for prototyping if things continue to go this way.

    Tonight?

    Thinking of learning cocos 2d myself

    Prototyping for sure. I'm going to look at Corona and that new one Rocket Pack or whatever it's called but I'm no Programmer, which is where GS has a legup of course.

    Not the best way to keep existing customers. And can't look to good for potential new customers.
    Now with so much new (or coming) competition, I would try to keep as many users as possible. Guss they have to learn it the hard way...
  • RHRH Member Posts: 1,079
    @ Shizane, do you know if they have emailed testers yet? I was hoping that I would get to try it out but I doubt it as I don't particularly have much to offer. (I'm referring to rocket pack)

    Are the GS Team really going to call it a day ? Didn't they secure a $1M loan recently or was that to pay for other things besides development ?
  • scitunesscitunes Member, Sous Chef Posts: 4,047
    now that my dog proved that she is ambidextrous I am going to have her code in cocos3d or possibly torque4d (yeah this newest version warps time using realtivity - it's sick!).

    EDIT: DAMN! It seems she is only ambidextrous when she is scratching her ass. At least it means there will DEFINITELY be an update tonight (otherwise corona6D here I come!)

    There is no way that they are going to call it a day. They can't.

    I don't think the lack of communication means they aren't working on stuff, or 'taking the money and run'.

    For whatever reason, they have just decided to stop telling people outside of their organization anything. I do think they are working hard, and I do think the next update will be something awesome.

    I just wish we got a weekly status update saying something like:

    1st week september: working on new features
    3rd week september: new features done, crushing bugs
    1st week october: 90% done with bugs, testing

    I dont think they get an internet connection where they are now.....some remote island sipping some delicious drinks and soaking in their millions!!! Mwhahahhahhahaha..

    In all honesty though, I hope we get our update tonight. Remember last time they did this, we got retina display, iads (pro members only) and a decent amount more. I am really hoping that we get gamecenter, pause and memory fixes....

    It would be nice to hear.... hey, we hear you guys and it's coming....I know they said it before but that was like 2 months ago....

    I personally think that GS needs to communicate better, but I also think that this forum community expects too much. I think it is easy to blame the current GS for low sales or game that doesn't work like you think it should. But when I play some of the top games made by some of the best GS game makers I realize that this software as it is is amazing. I also hope for improvements, but to me this software is worth every penny and then some.

    I know people say its beta, but in a sense it will always be in "beta" because apple is constantly improving their idevices and GS will always be in a state of change as it responds to apple's devices.

    We can make great games right now.

    The update will come when it's ready and there will not be an "awesome game" behavior that you can drop in and watch it do the work for you.

    So I would recommend teaching your dog Xcode or else make great games NOW and when the update comes (and it will) treat it as a gift - the current version is worth WAY more than $99 so any improvements are just free gravy.

    happy gaming!

    @Shizane

    At this moment Corona

    no blending mode (add, screen..)
    no particle
    no color adjust
    no stage

    sure corona are more power, but compare the game making with GS, there is no big games is making with corona!!

    Is it true that update is coming?

    according to my dog there is

    yep, there she goes again!

    If this update doesn't come by November, I'm positive I'll leave GS. Four months without an update is plain ridiculous. I also really hope GS includes iAd for express members, who NEED iAd. (I often wonder why $2000 people NEED iAd) This forces us express members to make our games $0.99, which some of us want to make free games but can't. (No second source of revenue)
