In the title it says for new people but lets face it, not to many people are going to be able to read this post since they erase all the post that affects their Image... Its like GS its trying to conceal the truth of the things that are wrong to all the new people that after seeing the adds are coming here to check GS out...
I really love GS for what it has let me do so far. But what I love the most is the community. very kind and helpful.
After reading about all the changes and seeing the reaction that has caused I came to realize that I was wrong, this is not right. This is not fair.
This program has a lot of flaws, yes you can even still make great games but you still need some knowledge in order to make one great game. There are a lot of crappy games out there because it easy to use and more easy if you are looking to make crappy apps. That is the reason for some of the bad reputation. Another reason is the memory leak that affects some games making them glitchy or faulty. Yes there are games without glitch or faults created by GS but most of the other games do has this faults but its not because of the game, its because GS.
There is no Game Center, unless you pay $2000 you were not going to be able to use iads or in app links and that sort of things. They said this is going to change but it looks like its for the worst. Anyway we don't know because they are never clear until the day it happens. There is no communications or at least with us, the members. Sometimes its easier to know or get news in other places the here in GameSalad own community.
If you are around checking GS to see if you can give it a try, my recommendation is to wait. Wait an see what happens keep reading the post se what some people are saying especially people like: tshitbooth, firemaplegames, photic, quantumsheep. This like many other has spent a lot of time in GS and as of right now they are some of the people who help the most in clarifying doubts about how to do stuff. Because the people fro GS doesn't budder to help that much in this matter.
When I started GS I learned how to star, like many others with the videos of tshirtbooth and some other but mostly tshirt's. For me he is been there all along and for me he is one of the faces of GS. I read in the BOMB THREAD FROM GS. That someone asked what would we do is people like I mention earlier ( including tshirt) leave the community? Codemonkey responded that he was going to be around helping the people. No offense Code, I really admire your work but in the 4 month that I been here you have not shown, not even 5% of what tshirt has shown in this community... I am really glad you fix the joystick problem from your demo, but after 4 months of constant post asking for help... many people were trying to fix the joystick that you created but no one could. You fix it and I thank you for that, its not about that, it about that some people feel the need or the pleasure of helping more than others and tshirt has shown that its one of this people so I don't think that find to say or imply that if he is not around everything would be the same because it wont. Have you seen how many tutorial videos he have out there to help the people? I don't think that if you put together al the tutorials created by the GS people are going to add up to the amount of video tshirt has created.
And we thought there were good news ahead...
Photics, my recommendations are: if are going to corona or unity and create a book as good as the one you created here, you will get rich and please reserve me the first copy but please sign it first...
Its sad because the community worth a million so if you are planning or will plan on moving to some other place, please let me know. No matter were we go if we help each other the way we do it here we will learn everything even coding.
