edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Last week we all heard about the 14 years old kid who create the game that beat angry bird. We heard about how he started using GS and then he changed to Corona. I didn't understand why since I believe that everything that he include in it could be easily made with GS. Its not like for example Peachpellen created a game that could be done with GS but she did it using Corona to be able to add Open feint. That I understand but as soon as GS include Game Center or Open feint, then that excuse will be over.
I am always looking for games created by GS to see how some of you take the GS capabilities to the hole nine yards. Some times also to get an idea of what can be done with it.
Last night I came across a game created by Fanstudio called Sweet Froggy. It is a game that has similar mechanics but with better art work and sound. For me the only advantage that the Corona game has over this one is that it was created by a 14 years old kid after reading a book from he's school library... How cute is that...
I just wanted to say to every body that you can achieve greatness with this tool but sometime its difficult to get there because of only one reason, the most important... The piece that is in front of the computer ( for those of you that don't get it, I am talking about you ). Get out there, don't get discourage, keep trying, push your self...
I know some of you might be thinking, who is this guy telling all this, what has he accomplish, 2 apps that don't sell more than 5 units a day?
I will tell you: I will get there, I know because I will not give up.
I don't have a doubt that the stuff that GS can't do right now will be added in the future.
I will wait and stop complaining of what cant be done and will focus on what I can do.
Hasta la vista and best of lucks, see you all at the top (some day)

    What is the story about a 14 year old who made a game better than Angry Birds?

    Bubble Ball rose to top free app a week or two ago and it was a game that started out as a GS game but was switched to corona at some point in development. Possible due to the the claim of GS direct.

    its an ok game but the fact that it was made by a 14 year old was picked up and ran with by the news and I think some morning talk shows or something which ultimately drove its downloads through the roof over 3 million last I saw but i'm sure its more now.

    Well said, @LordTarantor!

    This community has made some stellar games for the Apple App Store! Also, Sweet Froggy is awesome! :)

    Well put LordTarantor. I look forward to growing with GS. I'm weeks away from releasing my first app and can't wait to get started on a new game I've been thinking about.

    Thank you guys, I'm really glad that you're enjoying Sweet Froggy! :)

    GS is an awesome tool, it just needs some add-ons like Social networking and GameCenter....and arrays :)

    Hope to see these soon!

    @Yodapollo why is the "Subscribe To Topic via Email" function not working?
