Howdy again everyone! I’ve gathered up some info to share with you guys. Enjoy!:
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.10) We’re still working hard on getting Windows Creator up to date with our Mac Creator. One such thing that’s currently being looked at is: Changing the previewer to use the Lua engine.
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The next big release for Macs) Work is coming along on this and there should be a new nightly build out in the near future for you guys to mess around with some of the new features! For those who don’t know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are Facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at Facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it!
New nightly build for Mac! We’re making nice progress on getting the next nightly build out. I’ve heard it will have some big performance changes and that we are hoping to get it out sometime this week or next week!
New marketplace. Good progress has been made here with one major feature still needing to be finished. Our web guys are also working on a new homepage which is very near completion!
GameSalad Game Jam 2014! Our first Game Jam ends tomorrow at 11:59PM EST so be sure to get in your entries for a chance to win a free year of Pro, a Kindle Fire HDX, or even $1000 cash! In case you missed the details, see the Game Jam 2014 forum post here: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/73549/free-months-of-pro-cash-prizes-gamesalad-2014-game-jam. I’ve also been informed that the second Game Jam will be kicking off Monday (the theme will be released then) and that the winners of this Game Jam will be announced sometime next week!
Cross platform creator. As usual there’s been a lot of good progress here and we’re still keeping quiet.
That’s all for this week. More info coming at you guys next week!
edit: There's one last thing I forgot to add. At some point in the near future we are planning on making Mac desktop publishing a PRO only feature.

@ForumNinja - Regarding question 4, do you mean a website homepage, or a marketplace home page? Either one will be welcomed. : )

@ForumNinja an update of the road map would be good it has been five months since it was last updated.

that is what we are using in iOS to do Facebook sharing. Our phase 2 of the sharing feature is to open it up to what the OS supports and let you apply a filter.
@ForumNinja Thanks for the update. I also agree with @colander a road map update would be great.
Woohoo! My fingers are starting to itch, this is probably the longest I've ever been on a stable version and it's making me nervous!
"...Cross platform creator. As usual there’s been a lot of good progress here and we’re still keeping quiet.

Many times you have responded to the Cross Platform Creator as having " good progress".
Since you are able to measure each progress and deem it good or bad. Just how much more "good progression" do you need, to be able to say....."Download the Cross Platform Creator.. here"
Has the latest versions of xcode, not made it easier for GS to allow us new features that have been impossible or difficult in the past? Easier access to Microphone? Video Player? etc etc......?? Anything?
@iknikitin There will be async multiplayer through playstogether in the near future
Im looking forward to the performance boost! Imo thats what you guys should focus your work on.
They are going to begin Alpha testing on the cross platform creator with 20 Game salad users.

Oh, wow! Same here, would love to be part of that and see how far it can be pushed!
Hey guys can you please give a quick look at my app I'm a first time app maker it would be very helpful for some feedback https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.BallTap.game
I'm sure people would love to give feedback, but asking for it in this thread is not the place. Try creating your own thread for this topic.
EDIT: Nav, it looks like you're spamming the forums with your posts. You're asking in threads about other topics.
