Hi,
Kudos to the Gamesalad staff for releasing the 1.25 update, and fixing some bugs....However, when will GameSalad have the option to export to Steam ( Exe ) ? Most of other game engines out there, have this feature, yet GameSalad doesn't have it. When I updated the Gamesalad to 1.25, I didn't see it there.....So, is this something Gamesalad will have in the near future? Thanks and God Bless....
Sincerely,
Sunday

I know, right?!
@luke2125 I'll bet you're one of those people..
In the short term, you can use the HTML5 export + something like http://nwjs.io/ or http://xdk.intel.com/ to build for a number of platforms, including Windows EXE.

Gamesalad never mentioned to work on steam support for 1.25
Just because they worked a long time on an update it will not magically spit out features you wished for before you went to bed.

@jonmulcahy is working out the method @adent42 showed above. Right now he hasn't got it down yet but we already talked and once he has HTMl 5 to exe export worked out he is going to teach me and I am going to do a video series on it.

yea you can kind follow along with what I'm doing here:

I've generated Mac / Windows / Linux binaries that work great on all 3 devices. Working through some small hiccups which are more to deal with the HTML5 wrapper over the app. I've been posting about the issues I've found an workarounds in my thread.
HTML5 wrapped games need to work great as an HTML5 game first. And if you expect to get on steam, it better not look like a mobile game. During my greenlit process, 90% of the comments were about it being a mobile port. I had to reassure everyone that the game had basically been redesigned for this version.

@Dues....Well for starters, I don't like McDonald's, except Sub-Way, of course.......I'm one of those people, who thanks God for the good times and bad times, especially the bad times......

@adent42: Thank you adent2 for your support and kindness.....

@BigDave: There were previous posts, long, long, time ago, that GameSalad was working Export to Exe, unfortunately, things changed like the business model, change in personnel, etc....Therefore, as a paying customer which a lot of people are, been here already 6 years, I think it was proper for me to ask, I don't think there's nothing wrong is asking for clarification. If Gamesalad Staff, doesn't feel that at this time or in the near future, it's not beneficial as whole to implement Steam Game Exe, then please let us paying customers know, that at this time it's not feasible. I would completely understand......Also, I don't wish Gamesalad features before I go to bed, I don't believe in wishing....I do believe in Return on Investment. I've been around this boards for 6 years, and seen the ups and downs of Gamesalad, and always stuck around investing in Gamesald and it's business model, but I think it's time for me to go and invest in another game engine.....My yearly subscription runs out in July 2016, and then goodbye....
A big thanks and appreciation to CodeWizard, adent42, Lost_Oasis_Games, Braydon_SFX, MotherGoose, SteveJ, and others who've helped me throughout the years with their insights, tutorials, and questions answered.....Thanks, really appreciated....God Bless
Sincerely

GameSalad 13:34 was better.
I believe gamesalad is going to implement steam down the road as they did get green lit for steam but 1.25 was not the build for that. It was never part of the plan. 1.25 took longer due to staff downsizing. This delay pushed everything back. As was said you can do html 5 to exe so basically you can do it right now if you read up on it.

So you are mocking this guy and his religious beliefs?
I'm not sure.
As a person of faith as well, it was a harmless joke a play on gamesalad versions. I didn't see it as an attack on anyone's faith.

I guess I don't see the humor in stating a GS version is better than a passage in the Bible. I find it disrespectful and will leave it at that.
No problem.
The Lord has a sense of humor too. Prime example when the Philistines stole the Ark Of The Covenant God smites them with hemorrhoids. Now that is funny.
