"Share" function?

bazookaBen

we need this! users need to share screenshots via email.

PS: there's the twitter tweetsheet, but not everyone has twitter.



Edit: Changed thread type to discussion and To the proper category.

Is this GS creator feature or in-game? Can you give an example of a game that does that?

I think it will be cool to add a screenshot options which can later be used in the game or with the tweet sheet (like the random screenshot in JetPack), but I'm not sure what feature you are talking about.

bazookaBen

i'm talking about just taking any screenshot and sharing it via the email function, which is built inside the app. Like Instagram.

i know this sounds a bit app-ey, but games can benefit a lot from this. If you look at Zynga games, players love to screenshot their farms and cities, and send them to friends.

So you are asking for a couple of features:
1. Behavior to take a live screenshot and save it
2. e-mail behavior
3. Access images from the device photo albums (I assume this is where the screenshots is going to?)

bazookaBen

Um you mean the feature already built into iOS that can already be accessed at anytime? Why be redundant and overstep apple built in features? One can take a screen shot on device by pressing home and power at anytime and send it via email. Many times Apple doesn't allow apps to do duplicate features which mirror it's own.

it would be exactly this function
I do interactives games for childrens pre-school (0-6 years)
who can not read and write
but are able to recognize the icons on the touch screen
and I would like to put a button on the screen (photocamera icon) that saves the screenshot on the photo-album

thanks

in all honesty its a very Niche feature. it would not improve gameplay or games in general overall. yes your idea needs it but theres 100 other games that need something more pressing for every one game that wants this feature. its all about priorities. I think @codewizard would be more than happy to add this in the future but would venture to say most likely after far more pressing performance and feature updates.

Noted.

thanks
I hope that in the future you will put this option
because young children are very happy to be able to save their pictures in the photoalbum
and maybe in a future send to an external web site and put them in a gallery type app mostropino

thanks for your attention

Share screenshot via Facebook, Google+ or email is extremely important feature for games to go viral. GameSalad games relatively small games and in order to take market share in such competitive markets like IOS or Android, they need to have social elements, such as share with your friends. (For example you can share your highest score on facebook and when your friend click on that post, link can take you directly to android or iphone store. )

i hope GameSalad will add more social elements in behaviors. I really think these features are really important to have.
