Hi guys. Just wondering what are the top features everyone would like to see? For me, the ability to be able to integrate video would be awesome, a save feature is a must for creating games, i'd like to be able to have the game save your highscore and i would like to see url forwarding on the express. I know its available in pro but there is a huge difference in cost there, i would just like to be able to add my email and say 'feedback email: feedback@blahblahblah.com' and when they click on it, it simply opens up in email. Seems a rather expensive upgrade just to be able to use that feature. What i will say though is GS is simply awesome, the developers deserve soo much credit, it has opened up a whole new fun world for people who nothing about coding like me. Thanks

Oh yeah, ability to scrub animation!!
My wish list (as it stands now) is borne more out of excitement than frustration. The things that I can think of right now are:
1. Persistent memory
2. The ability for one actor to access or modify the attributes of another
3. A collision intensity attribute. Currently an actor can detect when it collides with another but it only knows its own speed. There is no easy way to determine the intensity of an impact.
4. Vector- in stead of point-based collision detection. The current algorithm allows a fast actor to travel clean through another, whereas they collide at slower speeds.
5. A better way of selecting and manipulating actors on the screen. The thick lined, inward facing controls only work for large actors and people with lots of patience. My wish list includes the selection of multiple actors for sizing, deletion, moving, rotation, copying, etc. Corel has a brilliant way of doing this (hint). One should also be able to delete actors directly off the screen.
6. A zoom function. My nose leaves marks on the screen when I try to manouvre small actors around.
7. Polygon collision shapes
8. Better text handling (paragraphs etc, for rules and other text pages)
9. Ragdoll abilities and all the rest
Al in all, I am pretty impressed with GS and I am willing to spend time and effort to grow with it.
I'd like to add:
1) Show/Hide for scene layers
2) Lock/Unlock for scene layers
3) Ability to select multiple actors/layers in layer tab
4) Ability to select multiple actors in scene
EDIT: I guess these aren't really features but more just for usability.
As for ktfright comments - I was having a problem with positioning too - but I download a free ruler (http://www.pascal.com/software/freeruler/) to overlay it across the creator. I hope that will help until they add a ruler.
It's now Wednesday morning, and it still does not work. Todays error "Code Signing".
Great product poor execution.
it's just been bad timing.
There are two things I really really want. the URL field to be an expression editor so we can pass in variables, and the ability to save attributes from one session to the next.
