As far as I can do with the GameSalad

doug_smuppet

I would like know with GameSalad I could make a game like Super Mario or Donkey Kong?

SlickZero

Yes. You most certainly can. And welcome to the forums!

Tnx SlickZero, I downloaded yesterday, and I like so much, another thing, I can Import animations from 3DS max?

RUPAS

@doug_smuppet if you can import images from 3DS MAX, but only frame, ie you create your animation in 3DS MAX and then export png sequence animation.

SlickZero

GameSalad does not support 3D, so you could not import 3D files directly, but you can export out a .png sequence from 3DSM and use the "Animate" behavior, or another method of cycling through a set of images which can be found in a thread here on the forums.

Here are a few links that will help you get started learning GameSalad. Literally hundreds of videos to help you along the way, and these forums are a great place to get answers if you get stuck.

I need learn and read more about GameSalad. I read that, I can create a game for many platforms, to not distort the images, what is the best format and size should I use?

SlickZero

That would be the new Universal Binary feature. This thread is where a lot of discussion is taking place about using it properly, and how to prepare your game for using the feature.

I've done a few tutorials on platformer development you may want to check out. It's just the beginnings but they might help.
