    Heh, it seems that there are two threads floating around. I like this one better. It's bigger, but the other one has a poll.

    All orders are up-to-date.

    Thanks. I had a feeling that is was the softwares problem.

    Your Book is such a great help and a huge timesaver.
    Took me hours, sometimes days, to figure something out
    and now it only takes a couple of seconds.

    Thanks again.

    There's a preview at my website...
    http://photics.com/books/gamesalad-textbook

    Just click the "Download a sample PDF" link.

    Also, I updated the page to include a link to the printed version of The Unofficial GameSalad Textbook.

    If you buy the PDF, and have iBooks installed on an iOS device, you only need to drag the PDF into the books section of iTunes. If your device is connected, the book should automatically be dropped into the PDF section of iBooks.

    I am only 15 so I don't have credit cards :( My itunes account uses my parents details. FML :L
  • PhoticsPhotics Member Posts: 4,172
    I think it's better to be open and honest with your parents. Maybe your parents will buy it for you because the book can be very educational. The book has topics that are related to many different areas... marketing, physics, math, logic, 3D animation, audio and more!
  • DimensionGamesDimensionGames PRO Posts: 993
    Yer I will get round to telling them some time...this week :) Your book looks really good!

    Orders are up-to-date again.

    I was busy messing with iAds on my Photics: Revisions "Lite" app.

    This looks absolutely brilliant and the amount of work you must of put in to help GS users is awesome!

    Im interested in the paper back edition any idea when it would be available?

    Sorry didn't read down, it is available :)

    Good morning!

    The orders are up-to-date. Also, here's some information that people might be interested in. Lulu has an affiliate program...

    http://www.lulu.com/affiliate_program

    I haven't tried it for myself, but some of you out there might be wondering about linking to my book from your websites.

    http://www.lulu.com/product/paperback/the-unofficial-gamesalad-textbook/12183604

    From quickly skimming Lulu's web page, it seems that you could make a 10% commission. That's like $3 per printed book.

    Dude, YOU should be writing a book! LOL.

    I'm back after an afternoon break. The orders are up-to-date again.

    Also, August 23 is the last day for free Summer shipping at Lulu.com. (The printed version of The Unofficial GameSalad Textbook ships free in the United States with Lulu's free Summer Shipping promotion.)
  • PhoticsPhotics Member Posts: 4,172
    The orders are up-to-date again. If you ordered the PDF and you were waiting for the download information, you should have an email now. If not, you might want to check your spam filter.

    It seems that there might be an announcement on Monday. Maybe I'll have to update the book. I'm not sure. Gendai Games seems really busy. Maybe they're working on something big.
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Hopefully the update is a software update, not a worded update on what to expect... then again, either would be welcome at this point ;-)
  • hrsmediahrsmedia Member Posts: 522
    Yea any sign of life from Gendai would be good now...
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Even a single cell organism?

    Which I could print it.

    I'm guessing he means wish. lol. But yeah, I'd buy it if I could print it - my screen sucks and I can't justiy the shipping costs of the printed version to Aussie (plus having to wait!).

    WAAAAAAAH! :-(
  • Rob2Rob2 Member Posts: 2,402
    I'm sorry but unprintable pdfs should be outlawed....the clues is in the title...portable document format, printing is half their reason for being and taking that away is sacrilege.
  • AfterBurnettAfterBurnett Member Posts: 3,474
    Although... if the Bible were only unprintable PDFs, they'd have to put laptops in every hotel and motel room :-D

    I hope PayPal gets added.

    Tip: Use a PayPal debit card to pay with Google Checkout. [PP Debit card withdraws from PP balance]

    Lulu Accepts PayPal and they're having free Summer Shipping sale in the United States.
  • iDeveloperiDeveloper Member Posts: 441
    @Photics: Did you know you can sell your eBook via Lulu as well? Maybe you should do that for PayPal users. [Wants to read via iBooks]

    Great job dude. I git discouraged working with GS. I'm sure this book will help
  • DjangoZDjangoZ Member Posts: 40
    Just bought mine - can't wait for the download.

    Photics, you are making a GS believer out of me. I wanted to use the tool last fall but didn't feel it was finished enough for what I wanted to do. I worked with iTGB instead, which was powerful, but difficult in many ways too.

    Ready to switch to GS for game #2! And your textbook is a big part of it.
