edited November -1 in Working with GS (Mac)
Ok so let me tell you a story. Yesterday I stopped by the apple store just to have some fun, and I put my game, Farm showdown on one of their iPhones to see other peoples reactions. Now I am waitin for someone to come to that iPhone. Finally these two kids come there are I see they're playing a bunch of popular games, and then they click my app. They wait a few seconds staring at the GS logo, click the screen10 times thinking somethings going to happen and then they're just like WTF and go back to the home menu and play plants vs. Zombies
which took like not even a secon to load!! They didn't even get to try my game just because of the load time :( I hope it improves!

    I agree. It would even just be a step in the right direction if it was setup so the first half of the load time showed the GS logo and the second showed your own. The image change would at least let people know that something is happening. It would make the wait feel like less time.

    Unfortuantely though we're now living in a world without patience, we want things when we click, we want it now. Think of how much the old dial up internet has dramatically changed over the years, you just cant expect people to wait anymore!

    I didn't realise it was such a problem. There's a video link somewhere on the Support page showing a dramatically improved load time as a feature of a GS beta (can't remember which one); comparing the time with the previous beta it was almost 4 times as fast, I seem to remember.

    I'm sure you'll agree that memory management/performance are aspects of GS that the team never leave behind; I guess we'll have to be patient and wait for gradual improvements which are bound to come over the coming months. Dat's what I tink.

    ;-)

    Hey, that was a great idea. I guess in some ways it's good people cant try before you buy at the App Store.
