A few publishing questions?

kytro360

I want to upload a game to the Apple iPhone store but have a few questions...

With GameSalad do I need a Mac to upload my game for others to use? I use a Windows computer.

Will I own the game or will it be published under the GameSalad company?

Will I keep the money?

p.s: Does GameSalad have ads implemented for me to earn money?

you can only upload apps to the App Store if you have a mac. so you would in the end like I'm doing convert your game salad windows project to mac and then upload from a mac.

to upload an app to apple you must pay $99 a year for unlimited uploads/updates
and no game salad does not own your game. you will own the game and earn any money that is gained from it.

if you are not a pro user for game salad, you will have a mini start up game salad ad at the start of your game.

you need any intel mac to work with game salad, although to make sure you don't buy a mac and have it instantly be unsupported, you should get one of the following, which allow you to run their latest OS. That is the safest thing to buy

iMac (Mid-2007 or later)
MacBook (13-inch Aluminum, Late 2008), (13-inch, Early 2009 or later)
MacBook Pro (13-inch, Mid-2009 or later),
MacBook Pro (15-inch or 17-inch, Mid/Late 2007 or later)
MacBook Air (Late 2008 or later)
Mac mini (Early 2009 or later)
Mac Pro (Early 2008 or later)
Xserve (Early 2009)


Everything you publish is under your name, apple pays you directly, so you keep the money.

If you have the free version, there will be ads put it automatically that pay game salad.
if you buy pro, you can opt to put ads in or not, and if you do, all ad money goes to you.

hope that helps!
