I'm a professional illustrator (who doesn't play computer games) but has been searching for over a year and a half for software that might allow an idiot like me to make interactive children's book/apps. After a few dismal false starts I was pointed to GameSalad.

What a revelation!

This is an absolutely amazing piece of software. And the potential for producing books/apps for children is extremely exciting.

But when you consider that I know nothing about mathematics, failed every maths exam at school, and dropped it as a subject as soon as I possibly could, the fact that I now wake up at 4 o'clock in the morning suddenly realising what cosine, tangent or random expressions will actually allow me to do is, in itself, a remarkable achievement.

Well done.

    Welcome! I also make children's interactive books/apps. Well app at least! I have a real simple one up on the app store now and am working on my next one. I can't wait to see what you come up with!

    Welcome! Gamesalad is an amazing piece of software even in it's current beta state. I'm looking to use Gamesalad to produce a book/app at some point and the best thing is making an animated book is a piece of cake with GS. The hard part is the art, for me anyway;)

    Look forward to see what you come up with

    Hi Tinkelly,
    I totally recognize the thing you are going through.
    I sucked at math in high school, was drawing comics in my book instead ;)
    And now I use cos, tan, sin, and formula's with loads of brackets and actually understand what I am doing (most of the times).
    So, welcome here and where are your illustrations? Do you have a site? ;)

    Cheers,
    Ludwig

    Pixar? Lucas? Aardman? I make a deep bow.
    Not only for your Curriculum but also for your skills.

    Cheers
