Mass Exodus from GAMESALAD!

edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Hey guys, I know the serious devs here are planning on leaving immediately. (Including myself).

So where to go? The popular choices here are Corona and Unity (and some others). Theres been some talk of bringing the community with us.

Where do we go though!? We could use Synthesis forum, we can use Photics forum. We can even use the Corona or Unity forums.

Alot of us here have little to no programming experience. (I'm taking C++ classes, but just started).

It would be great to learn a new engine with the gang. These forums have been some of the most friendly and helpful forums ever. Its only because of the people though. We can recreate it anywhere! I'm leaning toward Corona personally. Would anyone like to learn Corona together?

    Mass exodus TO GameSalad

    Actually, I think I know partway why this is happening and there might just be a mass exodus to GameSalad.

    With this new model, it makes it a lot easier now for a company like mine to penetrate the education market and get kids in school all over Singapore to adopt GS. Every new class that we run will be 20-40 new hands on deck. ^_^

    @Chosen - I've started working (barely) with Corona. Have been trying to finish up my current GS title before moving my work to that platform.

    I've been thinking... A lot of folks are concerned that Corona has no GUI yet, so it occurred to me that maybe it might help to have an interim "layout viewer" for folks who need to visually position their images (myself included). Obviously this won't help with writing logic in Lua, but I started working on a simple layout editor that might be eventually of interest to folks looking to get into Corona.

    Tiled already does layout, just need to read the tiled files.

    I won't leave GS yet, there has to be some good to this. I'll hear that first.

    In the meantime, I'm thinking Corona as well.

    The GSProForum will die when the URL expires....probably about the same time GS folds. I recommend the Corona or Unity forums. I will be on Corona for now...maybe Unity later.

    Yes, then after that we'll have to go elsewhere :)

    They should let all us early adopters renew for another year now since they claim to need the money so bad.

    Photics forum

    I'm busy with another project tonight, but I'm planning to add vBulletin tomorrow. It's a lot better than bbPress.
