This is quite an important feature, especially if there is no free version anymore. I take my computer with me and work when on the move, on the train, in the car or on the plane. I also very often like to take my computer outside, sit working in the park or so.

My images are white in the images tab in the library. That's the only issue I've come across so far.
@BlackCloakGS Since there hasn't been a lot of news regarding 0.14 lately, and the radical changes in the office, I'm getting curious about the 0.14 release status. Is this going to be within a couple of weeks, or months (or early 2016)?
My internet connection has been flimsy for the last few days and that means I have to stop working in GameSalad. There has to be a workaround for this. Also, it might be a coincident but my creator always crashes shortly after losing connection.

For me the most exciting aspect of 0.14 was the new rendering engine, but @Toyman who was the guy working on this (whether exclusively or not I haven't got a clue) went in the Great GameSalad Purge of 2015, when a blood-soaked machiavellian @CodeWizard rose to the top on a throne made from the skulls of dead coders how @Toyman's exit effects the prospects of the new rendering (and 0.14 in general) is unclear, direct questions on the subject have been swerved, so I guess (and it's only a guess) that the previous schedule has been dropped ?
My ISP says that I can expect intermittent internet for the next 2 days at a minimum, and potentially until the 13th July. Offline mode desperately needed!

In another thread, in a land far far away, where posts get buried in a matter of hours. It was confirmed that the rendering engine is still on it's way and that the windows version is already using it.
Ive found a bug with the timer in this current build @BlackCloakGS I had tagged you in the original post but I know you dont get to see all posts so thought id let you know here. Its serious enough to break many projects that fire 2 rules using timers close together. Ive created a sample project for you and logged the bug here: http://bugs.gamesalad.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1213
I use GS since 2010, 90% offline because there's no wi-fi where I work.
It's mad to remove offline mode, I'm feel like when GS announced that you couldn't publish games by yourself

Whoah... Step back a moment here... I hope that was a simple error along the lines, and not a planned change.
If it was planned, then you need to get that changed right now. If I'm paying for a subscription to use a software, then I want to have access to use it whenever I want, without being at the mercy of Internet service providers and whether GS servers are up. If I want to go work for a few days or even weeks at a quiet location with limited online access, then I shouldn't have to worry that I won't be able to use the software I've paid for....
This is just taking things in a crazy bad direction if it was done on purpose, and will drive away paying customers, as it's just getting too restrictive, and risky to use the software... what are you guys thinking?!?
This is the kind of unannounced crap, with no notice given, that gives GameSalad a bad reputation amongst the development community. How can you expect to gain the trust of customers when your hobbling the system like this... Not cool... Unprofessional... and not good for paying customers.
I do hope it was just a mistake, and not someone's "good" idea...

Agreed completely. Limit the number of days a person can use it offline, sure. But it's a deal-breaker for me if I need to be online to use Creator. That said, I've found it a little unpredictable as to when it makes me log in and when it doesn't.
Some clarification regarding the intentions and workings of this seems pretty vital. @CodeWizard@BlackCloakGS
Sounds like we need real facts on whats going on, Online/offline? like the last post will there ever be a marketplace 2 , will 0.14 come out this year , are the price scheme nailed
are im drunk? and so on.....
@BlackCloakGS agree completely with @Chunkypixels@Armelline seriously no offline? I truly hope this is a simple mistake in this release, only a couple of us here in this team but we travel all over the world on business and the majority of gamesalad for us is done on planes or in hotels (not always capable of a reliable internet connection) if there truly is no offline for the foreseeable future then we will no longer be using Gamesalad for our projects.

I second that! This needs to be fixed immediately!

There is going to be an offline mode. We did some rework of auth to support the trial. It will come in a future version (not sure when, we're fixing some other critical bugs first).

Tomorrow I will not work on my game due to this! For me this is the most critical bug
For those with internet/offline mode issues perhaps Personal Hotspot has been overlooked ? anyway https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204023 works great at times of ISP meltdown even just a 3G signal is enough to keep things ticking over.

I had the same problem in .24
Offline is very appreciated. Sometimes I work "on the road".
@BlackCloakGS
Count me in for offline mode as well. Don't need too it often, but when I do it would be great to have that option.
