Do they charge to publish a game? I've never looked into it in detail.

I thought we already could do Facebook with HTML 5 and windows phone am I wrong on that?

TheGabfather

Windows Phone!

Would love to utilize the free WP certificates we got from Microsoft last year )

@mounted88 - You have to be AAA to publish to XBox I believe.
- Thomas

Socks

Gameboy.

RP

XBLIG (Xbox Live Indie Games) does not require AAA status/product.
Check out XNA game studio/express.

mounted88

I was gonna say its indie why would you have to be AAA thanks @RP

OUYA or PC

Windows 7, Windows XP

Facebook- that feeling you get when people get spammed to play your game- there is no other feeling in the world to compare it to!

Or Xbox,

Windows phone has a minimal market share I would say HTML export without arcade.

But I would prefer they adopt more global things before shooting for more specific platforms.
I picked xbox because it would introduce gamepad based inputs + joysticks.
If this were implemented in a global fashion, this could pave the way for PS4, Ouya, or even Bluetooth based android gamepads.

They new blackberry OS has a desktop app that you can put in an unsigned apk, and it will spit out a BB app, ready to be signed (a .BAR file).

You can use these tools to help verify that your app is compatible with the BlackBerry platform, repackage your app as a compatible BAR file, and sign your app so that it can be distributed through the BlackBerry World storefront.

So GS doesn't technically support BB, there isn't really anything stopping you from putting your games there.
GS already provides an unsigned APK, so there isn't really anything more to do on their end.

I take back my vote. We need DOS.

Blackberry is awesome because of their offers, a month ago they promised your app would make 10k per year and they would split the difference.

But....

Xbox Live is more profitable and as 3tig pointed out you already can try to put your games on bb which I wish I thought of a month ago

Ouya would be nice... when i test my games on the tv using a ps3 controller and my sony phone via hdmi, its great and runs perfectly. I think gs games would run perfectly fine on the ouya.

SolarPepperStudios

Well, I voted for Xbox but I didn't think about the other. Here is my wish list for platforms:
Nintendo Wii (U)
Nintendo (3)DS
GameBoy (Way to go @Socks !)
MS-DOS (version 3.1 :P )
Ouya
PlayStation
Steam
iPlay (Apple's new gaming console)

The android package cannot use certain android features. The 2 projects I tested used those features and the converter said it was impossible to proceed. So no, we don't have BB support.

HTML with tables and custom screen sizes.

Wii U and 3DS. Nintendo is becoming very supportive of independent developers and smartphone app devs. Let's meet them half way Gamesalad!

"If the video game giant can find a way of persuading high-profile and indie smartphone developers alike to develop for Wii U specifically, the console could be given a much-needed shot in the arm." - GMA News

"This could be a perfect fit for many titles offered on Android and iOS." - The Next Web

@uptimistik I would LOVE that! @CodeWizard needs to implement that! One question though: Would they make it at the HQ or would you print it?

CaptFinn

So is this thread a way to tell GS what direction to go next?

SlickZero

So is this thread a way to tell GS what direction to go next?

No, not really. This is just a poll by a member of the community. Although, GameSalad has a history of listening to the communities input.

CaptFinn

Seems like a up and coming game making software would have talked to a up and coming game platform like OUYA. But that never went anywhere.

UtopianGames

No option for neo geo?

Darren.

YoRooster

I quite like the whole Windows phone interface cause it's been bold enough to try something a little different.

@DeepBlueApps.com Neo Geo would be awesome!!! Shame the Neo Geo X Gold turned out pants! I still wanted one just for the console dock

@Utveckla_Games - You do realize that the iPlay was a joke? (A very funny one at that.) Just checking :P
