I am not sure that this question has been asked before or not, as I am new to GameSalad, and I have looked through the forums already, I just may have overlooked this question.

Can you transfer all material made with the Free version, even published games to Pro, and then have them monetized (Free games in the App stores), where some of the monetization goes to, say me, instead of all going to GameSalad?

I want to eventually go Pro, but I am on a budget at the present time, and the budget does not allow for the expense just yet. Any answers would greatly be appreciated, as I am excited to be apart of this great community and awesome platform that is made available to those, like myself, who aspire to develop games. Thank you.

    You can transfer your projects Yes.. You just re-open them in the Pro version.

    What/How you present your apps after that is up to you as far as money goes..

    @dusty_cap Apps created with GameSalad can generate money through app sales or through advertising revenue. With the Pro version, you have the option of including advertising that can earn you money. Any apps created with the Free version of GameSalad creator would need to be republished (e.g. with Pro services added).

    Wow.. I'm gonna try an follow you.. First, I am not aware that GS takes your money when you publish to the Apple side.. And the Google side, definitely not, as you cannot publish to Android WITHOUT the Pro version of GS.

    But if you decide to use whichever Pro functions to improve your published App, then you simply nuke the existing version of the app and then publish the upgrade.

    With the free version GS keeps the playhaven money. With pro you keep it.

    What I am trying to say is, the Free version of GameSalad, all monetization on the apps for Free apps in the App stores of Google, Apple, etc...go to GameSalad, which is fine, I understand that, but if I have app(s) already made with the Free version of the GameSalad creator, and then eventually upgrade to Pro, will those app(s) be eligible to be monetized (since they already are), but, to where I can possibly, if the app does good, be compensated as well for my already created app or apps that I created with the Free version when I eventually upgrade to Pro in the future, which I know any compensation from monetization would be from the time when I upgrade to Pro, and going forward in the future, and not when I created it with the Free version, at least that is what I would assume? Please correct me if I am wrong.

    I hope that is not too confusing. Thank you for any clarification to this question.
