Have some questions before I purchase the PRO version of GameSalad

HappyGOLUCKY

Hello,

I'm planning on purchasing Game Salad PRO but have some concerns.

Question 1. I have the free PC version currently and have been working on an app, Can I transfer my current progress to GS PRO?

Question 2. When I decide to publish my app will GS put any of its advertisement on my app (after I purchase pro) ?

Question 3. Will any of my content (app its self, intellectual property or monetary gains) be of any kind of ownership by GS?

Thanks.

1. Nothing is transferred, a Pro license gives you access to more behaviours in Creator and other things see GS info for the list. You just keep working on your game in Creator as if nothing has changed.
2. No
3. No

@colander Thanks for the info!

Can I currently on my free pc version test my app on either an iphone or android though?

For the iPhone you will need a Mac or you can use mac in the cloud. You will need a Pro license to publish to android. The difference between Free and Pro can be seen here http://gamesalad.com/creator/pricing

@‌Colander so you have to publish in order to test the game out on your device ?

Hi. "Publish" in this context means basically only upload game project to gamesalad, compile to whatever platform or device you like and download the ready app (your actual build).
It doesn't mean that it will be published on the App Store or whatever.
It is all very well explained in several help areas throughout this page.

for a true test, yes. but you could use the viewer, but that is not a good representation of how it will perform.

@jonmulcahy‌ Viewer? What is that?

jonmulcahy

you can download them here, although you need an apple dev license to build the package:
iOS: http://arcade.gamesalad.com/download/getViewer
Android: http://arcade.gamesalad.com/download/getApk

@jonmulcahy‌ I downloaded the apk for my android. Although I dont see the "Preview on Android Icon" in Gamesalad.

Make sure your connected to the same network on both devices. Try quitting GameSalad and the Viewer and reopening.

The viewers currently do not work on the Window version of GameSalad. The latest nightly build of Windows creator does have support for the viewers.

@BlackCloakGS‌ Im confused so because I'm using GS on windows I cant use the viewer?
