    I also got it

    Do you playtest your game before publishing?
    It's sad that they have to ask.

    ...and one of the reasons why I'm suspicious. Do they really think Pro Users don't test their games?

    To tell you the truth I'm also a bit skeptical. I dont see GameSalad using survey monkey. I didn't complete the survey. If we get a yellow post here telling that its legit i'd gladly complete the survey. But yea like you say this looks suspicious.

    Maybe they just asked that to you Mike ;o)

    I completed it
    They used survey monkey for the feature request thing they did a while back. You know the one where they where going to do a new survey after each release. Its not like there is anything On there to steal your Identity.

    And yeah Photics you'd be amazed at how many people don't test their Games Before sending them to apple. Even pro users. I have seen so many times people trying to figure out how to submit to the app store and their stuck on provisioning profiles. If they had built adhocs they would understand what people are talking about when they tell them to build distribution profiles

    Suspicious? What would anyone else gain by such information? Of course its legit. Lots of business use survey monkey. I'd rather they use something like that to get it out there than take resources away from GS to create their own survey

    Ha ha... BOT was tested. It was a constant part of the development process... and why the Type 1 controls were created. Apparently, I could have done better. Yet, I did quickly respond to the complaints. 1.1 has great feedback.

    DISCLAIMER: I'm NOT A LAWER OR FBI AGENT...

    ...but I completed the survey. It seemed OK to me. The only questions that seemed personal were age and location. The age question was a range and my location (city / state / country) is really public knowledge anyway.

    I just filled mine out!

    I had quite a few words for those little boxes.

    I was pretty harsh on The "priority tech support" feature. :) hope they take it to heart an actually create something that makes that seem like a legit perk.

    Bringing up an old thread but I just got a new survey from GS - Except its for the basic user - I'm a pro member. Any one else?

    So do I
  • DreamLabDreamLab Member Posts: 2,127
    Yup I got it too.
  • tenrdrmertenrdrmer Member, Sous Chef, Senior Sous-Chef Posts: 9,934
    Nope I did not get one. :(

    I feel left out.
  • MegapixelIdeasMegapixelIdeas Member, PRO Posts: 476
    I didn't get one either. I am a Pro member
  • 11clock11clock Member Posts: 450
    I didn't get one, unless it was thrown in my spam folder.
  • AsymptoteellAsymptoteell Member Posts: 1,362
    I did get one. For once in my life I feel that I have contributed to this society that I live in. My life is, at last, complete.

    Asymptoteeeeeeeelll!

    Are you a pro member? Also how did you receive the survey?

    Are you a pro member? My theory on this is that Gamesalad is sending the people surveys that didn't fill out the last survey. I filled out the last survey and this time I didn't get a survey.

    i have never had a survey from GameSalad, just checked my spam / junk folders & searched my inbox, but found nothing. I might possibly get one later?

    Quite rightly I have not been sent one as I'm neither pro or have any coherent thoughts on anything but wrestling. But I shall watch out for one while trawling my offers from Nigerian Princes and those concerned about my failing performance, and let you know.

    pip pip kipper!

    Dear Friend Kipper,

    My name is Prince Bob,
    I have been unjustly removed from my throne in Timbuktoo.

    I cannot access my bank account with $6,999,888 in. Please can you access it for me and help my countrymen who are in the grips of tyranny.

    All I need from you is your account number, password and sort code and then I can give you full access to my account. For your troubles I will give you $100,000.

    Thank you my friend!
    God bless you.
    Prince Bob

    Hey guys!

    We did send out a GameSalad user survey via Survey Monkey. Due to the high volume of users, you might experience some delays in receiving your survey.

    The survey is official and any inconsistencies that you might experience are potentially just an issue with the survey provider. We're looking at new survey software that will provide a better experience for future surveys.

    We hope that you will take the time to complete the survey and give us your feedback on your GameSalad experience. Your feedback and suggestions are important to us and will we use this data to enhance and expand the GameSalad user experience for the future.

    Thanks guys!

    RISE... RISE... HA HA HA HA... MY THREAD LIVES AGAIN!

    I didn't get any survey emails. I have PRO, and maybe GameSalad is tired of hearing my option. HA!

    The more I see comments like this, the more I start wondering about life in Texas. You really need a strong web developer.

    Anyway... you're running a copy of WordPress on this website. Maybe this would help...

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-survey-and-quiz-tool/

    ...and there are lots of other survey plugins. I don't know why people use Survey Monkey.

    And for those that didn't know, yeah, GameSalad has a blog... http://gamesalad.com/blog/ ...apparently it was updated... twice... since I last checked! I missed those updates because the blog is no longer a prominent part of the website anymore.

    Maybe their web developers keep leaving because of all our complaints ;)
