This week we’re super excited to announce that GameSalad has teamed up with Amazon to bring you new development opportunities for the Kindle Fire!

For starters, you will now have access to development options specifically optimized for the Kindle Fire platform, including drag-and-drop integration with Amazon’s in-app purchase and GameCircle APIs.

And for a limited time we’re offering free Kindle Fire publishing to our entire developer community plus one free month of Pro Membership for each game that gets published to the Amazon Appstore! If that isn’t enough to get you juiced up, Amazon will also spotlight the best games in a special section of their Appstore!

In order to claim your free months of Pro, you'll need to let us know when your app is live on the Amazon store.

Once you've submitted the app and it's live on the Amazon store, simply go to the publishing site and click the "Submit" button next to your app as shown in this helpful image:

So, get with the program and submit all your apps!

We're excited to announce this promotion and can't wait to see what you all come up with!

    Wow! Great stuff! So, question... Can PRO members submit new games and get a month of PRO added to their account?

    Awesome job guys!

    Do we have to do anything special to have amazon know our app was part of this promotion?
  • CodeWizardCodeWizard Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 1,143
    Once your app is live, let us know through the "Submit" button described in the original post. Then we'll work with Amazon to highlight the awesome ones.

    I assume this app is for new apps only correct? :)

    Apps that aren't in the Amazon store already, aye. Unless you update them to use IAP and/or GameCircle.

    ugh, trying to get the kindle fire build of my finished game, Math Trivia Number Madness out, but it's taking forever to upload to GameSalad's servers for step 1 of publishing.

    @CodeWizard

    2 Quick Questions!

    1. Do you have to pay the Amazon Dev. Account fee, or since Amazon is in on the promotion don't need to? I'm asking this because it says "Published for free to kindle fire"- does that mean published for free on GS's side only, or also Amazon's side?

    2. Do you get the free month via a redemption code, or is it just automatically tacked on?

    Thanks

    Once your game is live on the store then let us know and we'll verify. Once it's verified we'll give you your month automatically.

    Thanks for the reply, but I edited my post while you were typing your reply. Could you also edit your post to answer my second question? You can delete this post after that :p

    It's only free on our side. Any fees to Amazon are between you and them. Although, to my knowledge, you can do this for free. Please correct me if i'm mistaken. :)

    Oh ok...well that would have been a bit too good to be true :p thanks for the reply

    Best promotion of GameSalad history- thanks GS! :D (and yes, I did check my calendar to make sure it wasn't April 1 ;) )

    EDIT: Just checked- there is no fee for Amazon! :D

    You should do something like this with apple game center and allow game center multiplayer. Or actually use play heaven. As you can tell I am not a andriod fan. :D
  • brickamatorbrickamator Member Posts: 316
    Will this work with amazon ads?

    The diagram does not state this so I think not.

    I have quite a few apps on the Apple App store already that I haven't put on the Amazon App store. Is there a limit to the number of free months that you can get?
  • CodeWizardCodeWizard Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 1,143
    No limit! The promotion ends at the end of November.
  • BazookaTimeBazookaTime Member Posts: 1,274
    This is really cool.
  • lycettebroslycettebros Member, PRO Posts: 1,598
    Glad it is until November gives me time....

    I preferred Amazon mobile ADS rather than these two features...

    Then so every time we sign an app we have to manipulate the keystore?
    it's useful to store the keystore associated with the game?

    videotutorials now could be great ... please
