Thus, this allows you to unify your design throughout the game.Īnd more features: Tables (a super powerful system we will use throughout this book), changes to the Change Scene behavior, Google Play Tablet Support (for pro users), stretch mode allowing you to develop for the iPhone and deploy to a PC (GameSalad will compensate for the screen size difference and stretch the screen accordingly), tweaks to the rule system, and changes to the OpenURL behaviors.Īll these changes are drastic, and you will see how great it is when you dive into GameSalad.

New multi-touch options: Now you can detect up to 11 touches at a time, increasing the complexity of gameplay that you can deliver to the world.Ĭustom loading icon (pro accounts only): Instead of the standard loading icon, you can now create your own. I've seen this already running some of my old projects in version 0.11

Optimized rendering: The whole rendering system for images has been revamped, which drastically improves the performance of your game. New display options, substrings, and replace and find functions allow complex string editing. This alone is exciting, but there's more. Looping behaviors: I'm super excited about this one! Looping and loop over table behaviors reduce the complexity of your project by far! For example, what would have taken 10 behaviors now will only take 1 or 2 at the most.Įnhancements to text and strings: You can now display text relative to the position of an actor. New monetization options: New ways to make money! Chartboost and RevMob Ad Networks have been added to the software, which means more ads being inserted into your game, equalling more profit for your game. This really opens up a lot of game development possibilities! Now you can store data remotely, and you can even create a turn-based game all synced through servers! Awesome! Available on a pro account only. Network behaviors: You can now sync information from any server. 240! That's a lot of bugs to squash, but the GameSalad developers have done a great job. As you can see every 0.2 seconds I spawn a blip just off the top of the screen.The website announced over 240 bug fixes. I've included a screen shot here of the 'code' used to spawn the alien contact blips. For instance for the attacking aliens, I started by using the built in particle system but then changed to spawning actors because the particle system lacks an area emit function and I needed to emit particles inside a screen width box at the top of the screen. Like learning any new system the most time consuming part was learning which features were the best fit for my design needs. Last night I spent about 3 hours making an Aliens 'Motion Detector'. With that being said, if you play by the rules of the sandbox you can create nice looking and playing apps very quickly. I would say that, some coding experience would be useful and that the api allows a lot of freedom within the sandbox that has been created. GameSalad claims 'no coding required!' and 'almost limitless freedom' as features of their product.
