Next update!

Please GameSalad, WE NEED SOME NEW BEHAVIORS.

thank you,

Still rather see more improvements in memory management/leaks...

we need features, i have never actually had any major problems with stability or leaks :P
i dont mind closing GS every so often and re-opening it

We need to make apps and games, so please let us make apps with apple's style (I don't know what it's called) i.e table views, keyboards, tab bar apps.

I need prototype who can talk to each other.
there are workaround to obtain same results, but...well, they are workaround.

Shpint

and I need to update my app =.=

Pixel Collision would be nice... but I would like to go timer, constrain and graphic crazy without it slowing down to a crawl first...

@Hachiko - instances can talk to other instances in the same scene. AFter clicking on the big padlock in an instance you can then access them in the expression editor under scene -> layers

Minimizing the hit on spawning objects would be nice.

Pixel collision detection and better reliability on calculations would be nice as well. All in good time, tho. I'm sure the engine will only continue to get better.

Unless something has changed, pixel collision is not supported by the physics engine they use. Box2D doesn't work.

Yep, I know, my games are only instances.. But i want prototype to do that, easier and it works with spawned actors too. Like I said, there are workaround to make prototype see each other, but you have to use some "fantasy"

@Hachiko: Prototypes should not know about other instances. It's a principle of object oriented design.

But I agree that there should be an easier way!

Are things like gyroscope, compass, proximity sensor, bluetooth and wifi features under development?

I still find a few glitches with collision and I'm sure that collision rules take part in pretty much any game so personally I'd like to see that working nicely. Wouldn't say no to the use of keyboard or pixel collision though

Yeah I believe pixel collision, although very nice, would be even more taxing...

Fixed for you! And seconded!

Memory management is realy a big thing~

I'd like faster load times, like we had in 0.8.7

Cappuccino maker, hair dryer, fax machine, air ionizer, electric toothbrush, and an automatic toilet snaker.

Oh...AND SOME OPTIMIZATION on the GAME ENGINE!!!

Yup, no new features. Just getting the whole thing working better and faster.

I dont even realize how they could possibly step backward... F*ck 0.8.8 and 0.8.9 and resolution independence, and multitasking (even though I love all that stuff). I say, don't release any update if your stepping backward in some way. I could've made it another month without an update as long as it didn't create any new problems, only fixed them...

I have a suspicion that GS games arnt compiled, merely interpreted.. It would explain why it takes so long to load, and the engine is so bloated...

Gendai! Compiling our sh*t should be problem number ONE! (As long as you fix all the bugs introduced in .8 and .9, not to even mention all the other ones....)

I think GS 0.8.7 was my fav, it at least had decent loading times, and was "stable"...

There is an easier way: programmatic object references. Prototypes don't have to "know" about other instances, but they need to be able to reference them, ie:

Background.Scene.("myActorName"..aNumber).Color.Alpha

We should be able to place code like this anywhere, in any object. The lack of this capability in GS is causing blood to run down my face from repeatedly banging my head against the wall.

I think the interface and work flow could be improved dramatically.
Online leader boards and in-game purchasing would be great too...
