@scrapee_net - We are recording a video right now with @Coopaloops. He is our User Interface Designer and will walk the community through the UI changes with Windows Creator so you guys can see everything. Stay tuned!
Now I can: 1. Use my powerful 8-cure cpu PC, to get smooth experience while working in GS. 2. No need to alwas switch between PC and Mac, use sharemouse software, dropbox sync and all that crap. Now I’m simply one click away from starting to work on my game. 3. Work everywhere! I have PCs in every room, at my work, even at my village. And with windows tablet, I can work even on the bus! That is sick, in a good sense
And even a tiny possibility of making game for windows pc, makes me really happy.
Once again. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!
havnt used the windows creator yet but im definitely happy about it. id much rather be using GS in Windows as I create all my artwork on a PC then i have to go over to a mac to do the GS stuff. Its a constant back and forth thing between the machines. Plus my PC is hella faster than the Mac.
that was my exact suggestion that i made the other day. to have the rules in a seperate window next to the actors. this will greatly increase my workflow. actually addressed everything that i thought was wrong with the original UI.
i find you waste far too much time looking around for actors or going back and forth between them and opening them, to check/re-check/modify rules.
also the addition of the X/Y co-ordinates on screen greatly helps
I don't know what to think. When I first saw this post I was extremely confused. I felt sightly disappointed because I had a feeling something new was coming and this was not as great as I thought it would be. This will probably destroy the forums though. Now every single annoying little kid in the world will be able to rip people off on the forum. I don't feel too good about this. I hope my fears won't come true.
@youngster9 There will be two forums (or more like a sections) - for Mac, and Windows users. So if you don't want to - you can see only Mac topics, and don't care about Windows users.
EDITED: to not confuse anyone - there will be a PRO only section, instead. I like this idea even more
@SaladStraightShooter, good to know I like this idea much more, and you will be able to add another feature to Pro membership advantages - access to such forum is a great opportunity to learn advanced GS stuff
@VeiraGames make sure your email address is in the top section
Do you mean in the creator setup? I have but left organization blank, put the serial key and get a message that its invalid. Have sent the issue to gs team so just have to wait now

@LaurenSalad & @SaladStraightShooter - I love the new UI! Would it be good to start a sticky about it - what we think is good, what we think needs changing? Would you like me to start it.
Sure @Braydon_SFX. Start a thread under the new Windows categories and even feel free to embed our walkthrough video with @Coopaloops. That way people will have a dedicated place just to discuss UI changes.
I wouldn't pay much attention to the comments section....several of the people who work at IGN even say that a lot of the people that comment on their articles are immature, ignorant & etc.
Congratulations - a really nice looking job. I will certainly run this one on my parallels desktop and see how it fares in Windows 8 (beta). On the age thing - c'mon people, some young folks really are smart (I've just retired from teaching computers for the last 20 years) but - if you don't like what someone is posting or asking just don't read or respond to it.

Here you go! Also, in the future, just scroll all the way to the bottom and click "Report a Bug".
