    Great! Yesterday I thought it was off this month. I'll be lurking. :smirk:

    May be able to make this one. If not, I'm very much looking forward to the recording!

    I'm guessing Q&A portion of the meetup is pretty much going to be him getting hammered with questions about Chartboost Rewarded Video Ads in GameSalad.

    You just know its going to be the number one topic brought up :)

    Just a note, 1 hour until the meet up.

    Was not able to make it, but looking forward to the video!!

    Sadly... due to low attendances, and the amount of work that goes into organising a meet up, they've announced that this is going to be the last one for the foreseeable future.

    Shame really, as they've covered some interesting topics. But if its not worth their time to do them, then thats fully understandable.

    Im guessing timing just wasn't good for most people to attend. Ive attended most of them online, but at 1am UK time, I can understand very low European attendance.

    Still... sad to see them being shelved, for whatever reasons....

    I am always watching when they've shared on the youtube

    But I live in Turkey, when you say meet-up at 7-8 pm, this time for me 3-4 am so I can't join in that time and that's not a problem for me, I still enjoy watching on YouTube.

    Check out my games on the App Store!

    Such a shame. I've never attended due to the time difference (I also live in the UK), but have watched many of them on the Youtube channel and have found them to be a great learning tool.

    Sad to hear that. Unfortunately Thursday's are tough for me; a different weekday would be better. Or, even Saturday's would be great - weekends are more flexible for me.

    They did say that if anyone wants to organise them they're happy for that to happen. I've got a few topics I'd love to talk about when I have time and I'm sure I'm not the only one, so if anyone wants to take on the job of running the meetup there's still potential for them!

    I believe I already have access to the Meet-up page ( @BlackCloakGS ? ), so I'd be happy to create the meet-ups when we have an interested speaker. I know I'd be more than happy to present a few topics here and there.

    I'm trying to get firm answers to a list of optimisation questions from the team, with the intention of using the gathered information to do a talk about optimisation. I've received positive signals back so far. I have a long list of questions myself, and so once I have firm confirmation that we can get the team to answer them, I'll make a thread to compile questions other people have too. Things like if using change attribute linear.velocity.x is more efficient than using a move behaviour etc. Little things that when you're pushing for every ounce of performance might make a difference. Look out for that thread next week, hopefully!

    We should do it on a weekend day and at a time that works for people in UK. I can do one on the new features when 1.25 is out.

  • PhilipCCPhilipCC Encounter Bay, South AustraliaMember Posts: 1,390

    Gees, I hope I didn't jinx things with my smart-arse remark about 99.99% of members not attending a couple of days before this last one was announced? :'(

    I am disappointed that the GS Team are not continuing monthly Meet-ups because I always attend and I always learn something. Time wise it is easy for me because 7pm in Texas is 11.30am in South Australia.

    However, it is heartening to hear that @Braydon_SFX , @Armelline and @Lost_Oasis_Games may organise something. I'll fully support you guys and attend. If the time doesn't suit me, and you choose one to get better participation, I'm happy to watch a replay.

    Thanks, @PhilipCC. I'd also love to just start a session where we can all join in and just discuss all things GS. Nothing scheduled for a topic really (but hat can change), just join and discuss games, help each other solve issues with our games, and just have a good time. I'd love to do that.

    But not sure if there's much interest for that kind of thing. :)

    We should get some veterans together and talk game design and answer questions. @Braydon_SFX @Armelline @RThurman @Hopscotch @tatiang @Lost_Oasis_Games sounds like a good panel!

    So I'd be happy to set up the GotoWebinar for people. We generally don't do weekends because, well, we have weekend stuff. And the timing is because we're in Texas. But if everyone organizes something, and I'm free during the time period, I'd be happy to set up the webinar.

  • HopscotchHopscotch Member, PRO Posts: 2,782

    I am all for it, sounds like fun. Also, it will be a good signal for the community at large.

  • crestwoodgamescrestwoodgames Member Posts: 191

    @adent42 Do you know if there will be a video of this presentation on youtube?

  • PhilipCCPhilipCC Encounter Bay, South AustraliaMember Posts: 1,390

    Over a month has passed without a Meetup on my calendar which made me feel a bit maudlin as it was something I always looked forward to. :/

    So today I held my own :D and listened to all the recordings and particularly enjoyed @Braydon_SFX 's January effort.

    Those were the days.

    Thanks Dave. I subscribed and the broadcasts are great.

    I just miss seeing @BlackCloakGS eating pizza if I arrived online early. :yum:

    I doubt it. It's been archived along with the others... :)
