Howdy again everyone! I’ve gathered some more updates for you since last weeks’ State of GameSalad post. Some of the release lingo is going to be changed starting this week but I’ll do my best to make sure it’s not too confusing Image may be NSFW.
Clik here to view. Enjoy!
The terrible issue that happened to one of our members recently (essentially having their game copied and uploaded to the app store). This fix will be coming out with release 0.12.0, which is coming in the very near future! (A release candidate is expected to be out today Image may be NSFW.

Release 0.12.0! (Previously referred to as 0.11.2. The next of our planned releases for Mac Creator) I’ve been informed that we’re expecting to have a release candidate coming out for this today! I’ve also heard we’re hoping to have a soft release Monday, or at the latest it will have the same release day as iOS 8. One feature this release will have is in app purchases working for a lot of the larger platforms we support: iOS 8, Amazon, Google, etc. For more important information on the IAP changes check out this thread if you haven’t: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/72359/important-info-on-how-iaps-will-work-in-an-upcoming-release#Head
Release 12 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of Mac creators’ release 0.12.0) We now have a couple developers working on this to get it out faster, and as you may have noticed by the changed title, we are skipping release 11 for windows and going ahead and working on getting it up to snuff with macs’ release 12. I expect much better progress with the extra hands working on it, and I also expect it to still be a ways out due to lots of fixes still needing to be made.
Release 0.13.0. (Previously referred to as release 0.12.0. The first big release since 0.11.0. and planned to come out after release 0.12.0) Still a lot of issues being looked at and good progress being made!
New nightly build for Mac. Still some issues that need fixing before this’ll be out. The one mentioned last week (memory leaks caused by using the change scene behavior) is one such issue that still needs to be resolved. Feel free to follow the status of that bug here: http://bugs.gamesalad.com/show_bug.cgi?id=110
New marketplace. Still some good progress being made! As for new news, I’ve heard that there’s going to be fractional star ratings! I.e. an item could have a total rating of 3.5 stars.
Cross platform creator. Still loads of great progress, sealed lips, and (this week), no mean pictures! Image may be NSFW.

That’s all for this week. More info coming at you guys next week!
