Hello there just wanted to introduce myself : ) My name is Simon and live and work in London. Im an artist and have always been a hardcore video game player. During my university time I learnt 3D programs and began to delve into video game modelling etc and landed some small time jobs.

Now I want to take it more serious and expand my artistic career with Gamesalad. Im really excited to have seen what some of the senior members have already done and like any software I am ready to get my hands dirty and learn. I hope I can build up a great friendship here with the community and look forward to seeing your creations!

p.s. Not sure where to put this bit but basically looking to get a mac mini to start up however there is not much details on the specs needed to run gamesalad efficiently? What setups are others using please?

    Welcome to GameSalad, MonsoonGames!
    I will look forward to seeing your first iOS creation.

    If I am not mistaken, GameSalad will run on a Mac Mini, so you shouldn't have any problem with it.

    Again, welcome and feel free to ask any questions.

    Hey Braydon thanks and I have seen your creation with penguin pounce! Really great artwork and am hoping you are successful with it!

    I presume you mean one of the later versions of mac mini as gamesalad need to have snow leopard correct?

    @MonsoonGames - Yep, I would be safe and, if possible, get the newest Mac Mini.

    Thank you, I might finish the game today! Then it's off to beta testers. Thank you for the kind words. :-)

    Hello and welcome to the gamesalad community MonsoonGames! There are plenty of awesome tutorials out there in the website's cookbook, and on www.gshelper.com (& more) to help you learn how to use this program and quickly release some games of your own!
    Best of luck with it all! :D

    Greetings Simon!

    lots of great artist … now making great games in GameSalad!
    enjoy yourself!

    love MacMinis … so neat and powerful!
    if you are buying … buy the best … visit the Apple Store in London
    (you can take free course at there)
    think you will want Mountain Lion OS
    … next year snowLeopard will probably no longer supported
