Unfortunately for GS one of the best selling Paid apps I have seen made with GS has been redone with Corona and Resubmitted to Apple. That doest send a very good message about the Engine.

Thanks, Arton!

@tenrdrmer: Hopefully it doesn't come off that way. I think GS is fantastic software. It totally changed my life when I discovered it! I still tell everyone to try it out, it is just so cool!

I would have used GS forever, but when they announced their DIrect publishing model, I just couldn't stay on. Of course they have since changed direction, but that was two months after the original announcement, and by that time I had been using Corona every day.

I have been using Corona every day for five months now, and I really enjoy it. But I really enjoy scripting stuff. I love the control it gives me - it allows me to make better games.

But it certainly isn't for everyone. You really have to enjoy programming. If not, it will show through in your games!

I think there's room for all different types of game engines.

And you can be just as successful with GameSalad as you can with any of the others!

A wonderful answer Joe - congrats. (I said it on Facebook when Ansca made the post.)

Well deserved, indeed.
