Republish/Re-generate your iOS apps to take advantage of this release.
All:
The GameSalad rendering engine is getting a major upgrade soon, folks. One of our developers has been doing some really amazing work on this over the past several weeks. We're basically revamping the engine to use what's known as a megatexture to store all of your graphics in one big texture. The advantage of this approach is that we can draw your entire game scene in a single draw call versus the way we do it now -- one draw call per actor. Our internal tests are showing some massive improvements to rendering performance (especially scenes with lots and lots of actors).
To achieve this, we'll be automatically tiling all of your images into smaller bitesize chunks for drawing. It's a bit complicated to explain but it's frigging awesome.
As we release this feature you're going to see some changes in how GameSalad handles images. We're officially dropping support for some of the more obscure and difficult image formats to work with (non-standard PNGs being one of the most obvious one of these.) Tools like pngcrush, etc. end up creating images that are non-standard and really hard to load reliably in all cases.
To get the best support moving forward, your images should be stored in standard PNG formats.
With the latest release candidate, you'll start seeing some of these changes to how we load images. We've added a new custom and optimized image format to help improve load times. This format, cleverly called "gsimage," stores your images in an optimized way that makes loading and processing super fast. We only apply this image format when you publish your game through our servers. At least for now... one day we may do it in Creator.
What does this mean? Well image loading is faster with published builds than otherwise. Also, if someone gets a copy of your published game, the images are pretty much useless to them. Unless they know how to turn "gsimage" files into "png" files, that is.
Be sure to test your game with adhoc builds or through the publishing process to make sure it works well. If you're using a non-standard PNG format you may notice issues in a final build that you don't see otherwise. We'll do what we can to support popular image formats but some of them are just not suitable for rapid loading in an optimized image.
Keep an eye on coming nightly builds for our improved renderer soon! It's getting closer every day.
Hello yet again everyone and sorry for the delay! I’ve gathered some more updates for you since last weeks’ State of GameSalad post. Enjoy!
Release Candidate 0.12.5. We have a lot of manpower being spent on squashing the bugs that were released in Mac Creators’ release 12. More release candidates will continue to come as as we chug along fixing known issues. If you’d like more info check out this thread: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/72624/release-candidate-0-12-5-is-available/p1
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.0) This is being put on pause for a little while we work on solidifying release 12 for Mac users. After we’ve got that all sorted out Windows Creator will be be receiving lots of work to get it all caught up with Mac Creator. Also I’ve heard that once we have windows all caught up that we will be trying to get Windows and Mac creators’ next updates out at the same time!
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The first big release since 0.11.0. and planned to come out after release 0.12.0) Work on this is also being put on hold some while version 12 is being stabilized. As you probably know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it which is great news!
New nightly build for Mac. This is also being put on hold some while we work on solidifying release 12 for Mac users. I’ve been informed that these should start coming out after we have finished fixing up release 12.
New marketplace. Not much to update here due to running into an issue with our tech stack. However, after some major refactoring, we're back on track!
Cross platform creator. As much as I would like to share with you guys, it’s still not time.
That’s all for this week. More info coming at you guys next week!

EDIT
WARNING This build is really somewhere between a release candidate and a nightly. We wanted to make sure people had the time to edit their games for the new style of iOS In App Purchase. We are running into errors with decrypting some projects and we haven't fully tested Android publishing (mostly because of how long it takes to get into a testable state).
So we implore you, DO NOT SUBMIT BINARIES TO APPLE!
Hello again everyone and I know it’s been a while since a State of GameSalad has been posted. This is due to our “state” not really changing much these past weeks. I’d like to say thank you guys for your continued patience as we focused on annihilating bugs and making a stable version 12 releases for our Mac Creator. Without further adieu here’s the crisp new State of GameSalad post you were promised!
Stable Release 0.12.10! Yes you read that right. We’ve just put up a new stable release for our Mac users! (go get it here: http://gamesalad.com/download/releases) Now that this is out, work is being resumed on our other projects listed blow! This features a lot of bug fixes such as “Fixed Mac App rejections from the App Store” and “Fixed screen rotation not working on iOS 8 devices.” For more information check out this post: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/73545/stable-release-macintosh-gamesalad-creator-0-12-10#latest
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.10) Now that the stable release for Mac is out we have more work than before focusing on getting our Windows users up to date! I don’t have a time estimate as of yet, but it’s high on the list 
Resolution independence. If you are confused about how the new resolution independence features work then check out this thread and ask any questions you may have there: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/73348/notes-on-resolution-independence-on-0-12-x/p1
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The next big release for Macs) Work is still being done on this front, just not as quickly since some manpower is being moved over to get our Windows users up to date. For those who don’t know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it which is great news!
New nightly build for Mac. I’ve been informed that we are working on getting the nightly builds through our new build system, and hope to get one out for you guys in a few weeks! We also currently hope to have a new nightly build for Windows shortly after the release of the new Mac nightly build.
New marketplace! Good progress has been made here as I’ve been informed that the front end of our new marketplace is nearly completed and there’s only 1 major feature left to add!

Hello again everyone! I know there have been some suggestions from you guys for us to stop work on the Windows Creator and I really don’t think that’ll happen. I would like to thank you guys again for all your patience, you guys are awesome! Now on to our current state:
I’ve seen some issues being had with Game Center (games not being recognized) as well as the “Request Purchase Data” behavior causing crashes. We’ve come to the conclusion that these are being caused on Apple's side. There are some threads open in the Apple dev forums on the subject about the Game Center issue (check out the end of this thread: https://devforums.apple.com/thread/241761?start=50&tstart=0). The issue with the “Request Purchase Data” behavior causing crashes is both ours and Apple’s fault. The crash is due to how we handle receiving null data for the price and name values. We’re working on a fix for the crashes that should be coming out in the near future, but this won’t fix the issue of Apple sending us null values in the first place.
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.10) We’re still working hard on getting Windows Creator up to date with our Mac Creator. One such bug that’s currently being looked at is: Creator will crash if you stop the Viewer on an iOS device then click "Back To Editor"
Release 0.13.0. for Mac users. (The next big release for Macs) Work is coming along on this. I know everyone is excited for this release, but it’s still a little ways out. For those who don’t know, a couple of the major additions that will come with release 13 are Facebook integration and the new rendering system. It’s my understanding that our first pass at Facebook integration will include being able to post to walls (images, text, and even URLs). The new rendering system should bring improved performance and memory usage with it!
New nightly build for Mac. We’re still working on getting a nightly build through our new build system, and whenever we get that worked out we’ll be releasing a nightly build for you guys to mess around with!
New marketplace. Good progress has been made here with one major feature still being worked on. Our web guys are also working on a new homepage!

This acquisition ensures that we can provide managed server hosting for all of our users that want to put asynchronous multiplayer into their apps!
This feature is currently available in our latest "nightly" build and will be re-enabled in our next release. After this initial release, we'll turn our attention toward rolling out more of the platform's features: text chat, achievements, and leaderboards
We'll begin assimilating their webpage soon and rolling it into our main site.
This is exciting news, folks! We're getting more and more cool stuff for you to use to build more sophisticated apps faster.

Hello again everyone!
Last month's GOTM competition had a ton of great submissions! It was a hard choice and we will be doing some more "honorable mentions" of other submissions that we thought were awesome last month. You guys can expect this announcement to be out sometime this week!
Here's a few reminders again about how the Game of the Month contest works:
I will open a “sticky” forum thread for submissions that will be closed at the end of Monday, November 24th. After the thread is closed we (the GameSalad team) will choose our favorite submission and announce the winner during the following month!
We will contact the winner via email soon after the thread is closed. Each winner will be asked to complete a Developer questionnaire and I will use this information to create a blog post that promotes your awesomeness!
We will feature the Game of the Month in dedicated Forum, Facebook, Twitter, and GameSalad.com blog posts!
The Ground Rules:
Submission:
*Your game must be complete and published to the appstore or GS arcade! (We have to be able to play it to know if it is worthy of winning!)
*Just to be clear, this is not a post to simply "announce" an upcoming game.
*Please limit your entries to 1 app per person.
*Apps must be posted within the sticky thread in order for it to be considered.
*You can resubmit your app if you submitted it last month and didn't win. (You can also resubmit an app that's been entered in more than one GOTM so long as it has had a significant update).
*Please include a Youtube gameplay/trailer video with your submission if possible.
*We also prefer that the game was published in 2014 or late 2013 (November or December).
Contacting the Winner: In order to be featured, winners will have one week to submit answers to a questionnaire (for me to create a sweet blog post about you).
Once again, let the submissions begin and best of luck to all who enter!
Hey folks!
Many of you are familiar with the promotion we ran earlier in the year where we offered you a FREE MONTH of Pro in exchange for publishing to Kindle. Well, we're back with a new promotion that you're going to love even more: the GameSalad Arcade Game Jam!
GameSalad Game Jam 2014 is a series of rapid game development competitions using the GameSalad Creator that culminate in cash and prizes, promotion on GameSalad Arcade and Amazon, and the ultimate bragging rights in GameSalad game development. There are two competitions, each with a different theme, with two weeks to develop your game and submit your entry.
The top three games from both Game Jam competitions will be selected by GameSalad staff to receive a year of GameSalad Pro membership, and additional promotion for the game and the developer.
Additionally, 6 winners will be drawn at random to receive these fabulous prizes!
All approved game entries will receive a free month of GameSalad Pro and be posted in a special section of GameSalad Arcade for each competition. The best entries as decided by GameSalad staff will also be posted on a GameSalad Arcade channel on Amazon*
You only have two weeks, so focus on replay value and fun. Think "cartoon short" rather than "epic movie." Each game however must be fully functional, contain at least one complete level, and be otherwise polished and free of bugs. All games submitted need to be designed for and tested on touch devices as well as desktop browsers.
*GameSalad will publish select games on Amazon for promotional purposes, with developers retaining all IP rights.
