disagree my friend, I rather see them work on some stuff that should be here since a while

i look for
+50 mb extension files for android
+rewarded video support

robertkdale

50 plus mb extension files for Andriod would be nice
and reward videos. Hopefully GS is already working on adding those features. I'm sure at some point they will have Apple TV Support. Probably not this year though.

I wish they would list what features they are currently working on. This way GS Devs would know where they are at. Perhaps a status update once a month.

@BigDave @robertkdale what about loading time and scene changing time,GameSalad games and apps lagging back and taking too much time to load and scene change..where hardware technology is moving forward.

robertkdale

@NimbleBug you make a good point. I have been using GS for over 3 years now and those issues have always been around. Hopefully, the GS team is working on that and will release an update this year.

@BigDave you make a good point!! I'd love to see those features implemented before Apple TV tvOS. I strongly feel GameSalad is lacking/slipping behind without 50mb extension files for android and rewarded video ad support...

Sorry but no. I just don't see game salad games a thing on a TV. I'd rather see features we'd been asking for a while now.

I've got 2 games on the FireTV, and they look and play incredible. It is so awesome to see your game on the big screen.

Absolutely - supporting tvOS should be the current number one priority for GS.

Agreed. I'm thinking my games will come out first for TV's now... mobile devices second.

Does anyone know if the Game Salad team has a new Apple TV Developer kit?
I have read here on the forum that they might be considering supporting Apple TV but have not yet committed to it yet.

I think one of the reasons was that they don’t have a Developers kit yet.

@BlackCloakGS @CodeWizard Any word on if this will be added anytime some guys?

There are some games that I would love to make/play on Apple TV, waaaaaay more so than on mobile anything. YES! Of course!

I made a comment about this at the last meetup

@BlackCloakGS for those that didn't catch the meetup ??

@tmann

TVOS support isn’t coming any time soon as it requires a lot of work on the GS Devs end. They are essentially moving slowly towards support.

Honestly, this is why I am learning to code for it now using Swift. By the time GameSalad has support for TVOS I will already know how to code for it.

@robertkdale If you watch the 'BuildBox 2 Event Replay' video on youtube there is a very obvious apple tv controller image at 31:20 - who knows ?

Just saw it @tmann
