Considering Game Salad

aniketwadkar

Hi Guys ,

I am not a programmer but I have some ideas in my mind which I need to convert into iPhone and android games . Do you think this will help me make sophisticated games .

How powerful is this platform and hows the library for 3D objects .

Please Help .

2D only.
No Arrays.

You can do pretty much anything else though, with a little effort.

Hope that helps!

Most games can be created with Gamesalad, and its very easy to use, no coding. You could make a sophisticated game with it.
But gamesalad does not support 3D objects.
It does not support android yet, but they want to get android for us later this year.

Hope i helped..

It's where people announce their games. There's usually videos to accompany these, so you can get an idea of what's possible.

If you're a non-coder, GS is a no-brainer... it's still not "easy", as game design is more than just coding (which believe it or not, GS DOES require, only in GUI form).

For 2D games, you can't beat it. If you're set on 3D, the only option really is Unity, but you'll have to learn a scripting language such as JavaScript... much easier than coding natively in C++ or Objective C, but still by no means a walk in the park.

GS is the ultimate for letting you concentrate on the design and is a heck of a lot more fun than any other SDK I have encountered!
