I saw this thread pop up today and I wanted to chime in and give people a little rundown on what's going on.
We're working hard on GameSalad 0.9.1 and it will be available very soon.
Expect to see: Pause behavior/attribute, Publishing to Mac App Store, Improved 'Undo' functionality, and a whole slew of bug fixes and improved tool and game performance.
In regards to the dreaded "GameSalad Memory Leak"... It's not really a memory leak. Or, at least, it's not one big memory leak. What many of users have reported as dramatic slowdown within the tool is actually the result of several smaller leaks, and each release we put out has identified and resolved more of them. Sadly, this means that it's not one problem that we can fix in a single iteration. The good news is that we know what it is and we're working through it, prioritizing based of the severity of the issue. It just takes some time.
No, the company is not being sold. We've just been working really hard at finishing 0.9.1.
Also, for more on GameSalad 0.9.1, as well an update on GameCenter in GameSalad and other future features, keep on the lookout for the new "Big Picture", coming later this week.
Thank you!!!! I'm so happy that the Mac AppStore is going to be in the next update!!! And really good to hear about the new behaviors!!! And very glad to hear that it's coming soon
What I think is the most important to be fixed with gamesalad, is the problem that I need to close it and open again every X minutes, because it becames very, very slow... Impossible to use.

I think that summed up the situation nicely.

As yodapollo mentioned they fix some of that in every release but it is unfortunately not something the can get all at once.
@yoda, Thanks for the update. You guys should really think about not waiting until users get this worked up to give any info.
@Yodapollo - thank you so much for the update, we all love GameSalad and update news is something we crave. If its possible to get networking between apps in a future release then a whole new world will be open to us.
I'm very interested to see how this pause feature plays out. I've already made my pause feature for my game, but it's pretty costly to the performance so I would love a better solution that that!
