Hi,

Has anyone seen game-editor.com? They claim to have iphone and ipad support now.
Any experiance? I saw that there is a script language and no physics.

    In all honestly it looks ugly and the second you mentioned script language it lost all of the remaining appeal that it had.

    Game Editor I think similar to game salad, I kinda played with it, long time ago, made a small game for PocketPC, that's cool that they are making GE for iPhone.

    @Peach lol their older site was worse, This one actually looks ok.

    I agree. But the engine is of high quality. Have u tested? Right now a free beta for iphone is running.
  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    If you manage to have a go with the beta you will be surprised at how simple it is. A little bit clunky in places yes, but some working inbuilt easy tutorials and it blows GS totally out of the water as far as smooth graphics go, none of the random glitches and jumps.

    Does the program look anything like the homepage?

    If so, how badly would you say you were blind after it? Fully in one eye? Or partially in both?

    If I'm going to learn a coding language, it's gonna be Objective-C, not some proprietary jargon that I'll never use if the company goes under. GUI interface for me all the way. Gendai just needs to polish their program a little more.

    Beyondthetech is trying it out...hopefully he'll share his thoughts..
  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    Whacking out a few generic scripts is childs play compared to Objective-c and it has a pretty good gui.

    @bark, I think he already has http://game-editor.com/Testimonials

    Ha, I'm still listed in the Testimonials. We're talking summer 2005, I think.

    any luck with the iphone beta?
  • akindlbaakindlba Member Posts: 3
    Try the incursion e.g. the incursion demo from GE. Cool. Exported this to Windows, Mac OSX, several windows phones and it even works on iphone and ipad.
    ...before u judge....
    Or do u know any other tool to develop on windows and export to iphone directly??? Without xcode or any server send-receive process?
    Every tool has its charm, gamesalad and game-editor.

    I agree. Gamesalad has a great user interface and game-editor has great performance and windows support.

    I used to create 2 games with Game-Salad.
    SushiMax
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/sushi-max/id360857091?mt=8
    GigaForce
    -Not succeed

    Right now, I create all of my new games with Game-Editor.
    GigaForce, Shown as New and Noteworthy last week
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/gigaforce/id392298622?mt=8
    Prince of Dragons
    http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/prince-of-dragon/id396451476?mt=8

    Results:
    Personally, Game-Editor is very stable. Easy to learn and create.
    So far, 2 games made by Game-Editor can make USD$100 a day/each.

    For sushimax, created by Game-Salad, I spend 2 weeks for fixing bugs.
    Loading screen is so slow.

    I used to make GigaForce with Game-Salad before doing on Game-Editor.
    -Spend 3 weeks with Game-Salad for making it. and d still can not be played/sold on Iphone because it kept crashing on Iphone.
    -Spend 2 weeks with Game-Editor, Then, I could upload to App-Store without any problem.

    What about their license??? I thought they rape royalties as well. I guess I'll have to check.

    Here I found this, but dunno if this only applies to the express license... maybe I'm a dunce... my head hurts from programming class.. anyway:

    Game Editor license is pretty low too.
    Express version (With Game Editor splash screen) is only USD$99.
    For Pro version, I have no idea yet. But it would be cheaper than Game-Salad.
  • JuggerJugger Member, PRO Posts: 238
    Pro - USD$1499

    From reading through their documentation, they only charge a royalty if you create your games on PC and want them to take care of the converting the game to Mac/iOS publisihing process. (this is offered for Mac users too who dont want to go through the process of doing certificates etc)

    If your using a Mac version of the editor, and do your own certificates and builds, then you just have to pay for the software license fees, and theres no royalty fees.

    So theyre offering 2 services.... One for the complete novice, and one for more experienced developers.... which is how GameSalad should be thinking....
