So many thanks for everything. Best wishes at Chistmas too.
ps.: this is amongst us, but I'm a fan of the accent in the clips and can loop watching them just for that. In fact in makes my GF watch the clips with me even though she doesn't understand a thing about Gamesalad. ;-)
Seriously though, you make it SO much easier for us (the code blind) for create the games we have in our minds and for this I am truly grateful. Thanks for a great year and I hope 2012 makes your million
If I did get drawn... Zanda please!
Happy Christmas Guys!

This is a nice little offer from the gang
Why do i love DBA?
Because as you said, you are the #1 site for templates and tools. You offer a huge range of different templates covering all sorts of genres. I have learnt so many valuable things through various templates of yours, its amazing at what you can achieve when dissecting a template and not just swapping out the art (or uploading as is trying to make a quick quid).
The artwork accompanying the templates are always spot on and are better than most games i see released, and no doubt Chris isn't giving his all for the templates.
Music is always fitting and adds another dimension.
Tools ... Tools ... Tools ... Or as i like to say, you saved my lazy ass! Quite simply put, without your tools i don't know where i would be! I spent weeks/months trying to convert a project from iPhone size to iPad, as stated, using the 'Resizer' it done 90% of this for me and then all i needed was 1 afternoon session to tidy it all up. The 'Optimiser', how many times have i let odd dimensions creep through and without the 'Optimiser' i would never have spotted. For me though, the biggest and most valuable thing for me has been the project 'Merger'! I like to work in separate areas, especially if working on a big game and then merge them in. Before your tool, it simply wasn't possible. Now i have stripped many core mechanics/features into mini projects with just the working attributes and actors needed and can drop them into a new project in seconds ... For me, thats just priceless.
I simply cannot count the hours you guys have saved me and the things i have learnt from you!
But above anything else, (i know Darren and Wayne are at least), you're from the good ol' UK and i know Darren once received stick for it ... but i LOVE your accent
As for tool or template i would like ... Hmmm ... I have literally all your tools so that rules that out. Ha. Soo, templates, i have a fair few of these too. I would have to say your 'Running Wild' one as i have lots already, the ones i don't have i know whats going on in there and i think from the 'Running Wild' one there will be lots i can learn and benefit from.
Merry Christmas guys, thats awesome on the user base and hits per month
Wayne is a bit trickier, as he sometimes says hi there/hi guys, it's Wayne from deep blue apps/ideas. Anyway we love DBA mainly because of the accents (of course you sound like the same person to us
But seriously, thank you for the brilliant tools, I think it's because DBA are one step ahead of the game, producing tools which GS really ought to have built in, and saving us hours off development. If I win, I would like a copy of your secret, melt your face tool you're currently building still, failing that, block jump would be good
Merry Christmas guys!
I was very nice, I bought many your templates, and majority of your tools. I'm happy everytime when I can advertise and recommend your tools to other developers from Poland (not necessary to those, who use GameSalad), here's the example from the biggest Apple-oriented polish forum: http://myapple.pl/dla-deweloperow/203273-grafika-na-sprzedaz.html also I brushed my teeth twice a day, and I was polite to my parents and teachers. I was a very good boy
I love DBA because you make my life easier, and my work faster. It was a great pleasure for me, to work with you, to improve DBA Icon Creator, and it brings a smile to my face, thinking that I have a very small part in helping you, and GS community.
Santa, I wish GS Zanda Template this year. I promise that I won't publish it as a template in the AppStore, and I don't want to make a quick buck from it. I want to make DBA proud, and make a very nice, small RPG.
Here's a small poem for you
DBA - Deeper, Better Apps. Thanks to us - DeepBlue Apps.
Merry Christmas Santa Darren, Santa Wayne, and Santa Chris. Hope that next year will be even better for you
Here's a big read for you guys!
Why I love DBA?
I love DBA because your the reason I started gamesalad, I knew nothing about developing and stuff, I did a little web browse one day and found www.deepblueapps.com. I flicked through all your wonderful templates and games, they all inspired me so much!, I got the Thrill of wanting to be just like you guys!, I then searched gamesalad and downloaded the creator. The first thing I did was buy one of your templates, I found the code, the art, the sound all intriguing and amazing, I started playing around with it, and messing with the code, it really inspired me to make my own game. I've always been a massive fan of your tools too because they just work so well with the gamesalad creator, and they look at all the aspects of a developers life and improve then ever so greatly!. I have told great amounts of my friends and other developers that I know, to buy your tools and templates for gs as you can learn so much from them and they are great to work with. Your tools save my life in so many ways, I have fallen in love with your "project merger" and "scene merger" tools, I also love your "project resizer" tool,they make my life so much easier, and faster, I thank you so greatly for coming up with these!. What makes me respect you guys even more is that your all great English-men, so from an Irish-man to an English-man " your some great old chaps, mates! :P" I hope for you a happy and well new year, you can be expecting a lot more purchases from me!,
Alot of us would not be hear without you guys, and I hope you know that what you're doing is just so wonderful!, and I could never thank you enough!,
As for me,if you choose me to win,
I have a lot of your tools and templates, but the one Id really really love is "looney lemmings template" I am addicted to this game!, I realy love it!,
From me. I hope for you all the best for the upcoming year,
Jack Leonard
I'm not sure if this counts, but I like the fact that the prices for your tools and templates seem very reasonable and it's clear that you actually understand what developers need and want (even us amateurs)!
Again, not sure if this counts for a drawing or not, but I'd be interested in the jetpack or hidden objects template...
Thanks!
When i met Deep Blue Apps for the first time i couldn't believe my self back then; cause i felt that i discovered a treasure, Seriously founded tools that makes working with GameSalad much easier, founded the right tools that i needed. such as the Resizer & the Merger; those are just a significant tools. also Screen Grid & PNG Inspector.
I LOVE DBA FOR SIMPLE REAONS :
- Professional tools that i totally depend on.
- amazing support. ( i got an assistant in less than 30 minuets on an inquiry that i sent )
- Purchasing process is fast & easy.
- Programs never crashed.
- Always gets a satisfying result.
What are you doing is amazing so keep it up cause it encourage us to stay wired in.
i was planning to buy those soon :
- Lily-Pad Puzzle Template
- Looney Lemmings Full Game
it would be wonderful if i won and got those cause i have some nice ideas and would to include those in.
Thanks & Appreciated.
Merry XMAS.
Oops i just realized that looney lemmings is not a template;
As for a template its got to be; Heli-rescue for me!, if i win
some project/scene merger love would be lovely.
I love DBA because the tools of them are so great and helps everyone a ot.
DBA makes GameSalad much better. It's much cooler to work with GS with the tools from DBA.
DBA is so great and I hope they make many more and great tools in the future. I really can't wait for the tool "Score Font Maker". I hope DBA becomes a place in the new marketplace.
Cheers

Gamesalad is the best SDK that was ever made. It allows quick prototyping and can create incredible games as DBA has shown the world. But just using Gamesalad is not enough. We all needed those 3rd party tools to speed up development and create even better games. DBA has been able to improve the entire Gamesalad experience, without DBA I don't think Gamesalad would be as good as it is now. From templates to tools, whenever you need help with Gamesalad you just need to visit deepblueapps.com and you will find a template teaching you how to do everything. We have many incredible members in this community like tshirtbooth, quantamsheep, tenrdrmer, and many others. But I put DBA as the best Gamesalad developer there is. I hope you guys continue creating amazing tools and templates (Zanda was revolutionary). If you guys were to select me as the winner I would want the GS Racerz template.
Thanks,

ops i don't have the Block Jump Black and Avid the Germs templates... o.O
Any chance? ;-)
You are amazing!
Merry Xmas!!

there are many reasons that I love you, the tools you have is just incredible, the optimizer I bought reduce 7 mb of my project file and let the file get under 20 mb! And I think the price is also very cheap compare to other software
The gamesalad team can't do all the things in one time, so have DBA to help us for the things we want
That's way I love DBA
and for the tools and project, I will love to have GS resizer, I am sure that will cut down a lot of time for making games!

I've had my eye on that project merger lately. Merry Christmas, guys!
Roy.

(hum not sure if you guys have this over the pond, but here in US, DBA is also a business license.. Doing Business As....)
If I win, is it possible to get the JetPack template?
But who cares if I win, it's just great to be in such an amazing community!
Merry Christmas guys!
