    Cheers SlickZero - But in another thread a few days ago SSS had stated that the marketplace team had caught up with the backlog... all but me it would seem!

    @Digi-chain 23 day wait so fair, with no response following two follow up emails. Same boat i guess.

    Useful info guys, re: the waiting time, thanks. I think I'll hold off submitting my 140 music tracks for a while till they've caught up...

    Cheers for sharing IcedB.

    I'm now at 3 full weeks, no response...
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    From my own experience its dreadful.... Always very delayed, Sometimes you wonder is there someone there!
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    4 weeks now - still no response from GS!

    @SSS - seriously man, what's going on?
  • IcedBIcedB Member, PRO Posts: 384
    5 weeks...Maybe we'll get there in time for xmas
  • RPRP Member Posts: 1,990
    That is a drag to hear guys, I hope that they get things up for you soon.
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    Lol this is crazy, GS hasn't even replied to this.......
    Well there a lot more indie markets with a wider audience, Maybe try submitting it to one of those, For example check my sig
  • RPRP Member Posts: 1,990
    Very true there are other venues.
    I think it would be a good idea for an official GS status/stance on what going on for those eagerly awaiting an update on their sellable assets. Hint hint ;)
    Some folks may have strategic/action plans. I'm sure they would appreciate that estimate for TOA/TTD. Hinty hint hint :D

    Hey your template looks awesome. How much do you plan to sell it for?
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    Yeah I agree with you all - it's very poor form from Gamesalad.
    If I took 5 weeks answering customers emails I'd get the sack from my job!

    @DanDaMan - If you mean my Dungeon Template then thanks! I haven't yet decided on a price. I may create more assets for it yet... as it doesn't look as though it'll be on sale any time soon!
  • IcedBIcedB Member, PRO Posts: 384
    @Digi-chain I might hold back on any additional asset creation considering the estimated wait for any re-submission reaching the store.

    @LeonardDeveloper is it acceptable under GS terms and conditions to submit our works to multiple stores?
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    @IcedB - I haven't even submitted my template yet. All I've done is sent an email requesting to be a seller (3 emails in fact), once/if I'm accepted I'll then submit the template and hope I don't die of old age before someone responds! ;-)

    @LeonardDeveloper - Yes, perhaps you're right that other stores are the way to go. I'll check them out.

    For the record, I sent an email asking similar, didn't get a reply, so just went ahead (about a week ago) and sent 50 or so of my music tracks straight to them....wait to see what happens...

    @icedB
    Yup, Its acceptable by GS T&C's Otherwise they'd be taking the IP rights of your assets, Which is NOT included in their contracts

    @digi-chain
    Wonderful! - Trust me, Theres a wider audience for most of these sites, Check out http://thatdevelopermarket.com :)

  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    Ok my weekly update (I'm hoping it'll shame GS into sorting out it's PR!):

    Now 5 weeks since email sent. No response.
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    There must be a reason theres no official response on this - Perhaps the marketplace is undergoing development
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    6 weeks, no response from GS.

    @SSS - can you please reply to this thread, you seem to be ignoring my questions.

    If the marketplace is no longer accepting submissions, or no longer taking on new sellers, can you please let us know.

    It's extremely frustrating for us. And it's also extremely unprofessional on your (GS's) part.

    Ive been trying to send a submission into the marketplace for the last week and keep getting SMTP errors when I send from any email address, stating the marketplace submission address cannot be reached. Is anyone else having these sorts of issues on top of the long wait?

    @Digi-chain Tagging @SSS won't work... You might want to try @SaladStraightShooter. While I'm also compiling materials (templates!) for the MP, I am a bit concerned by this. Especially since this would appear to be an excellent revenue stream for GS, if properly executed. Any insights would be much appreciated SSS. :)
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    Thanks for the tip LiquidGameworks.

    @SaladStraightShooter - I'll repeat what I said in my last post:

    @digi-chain @liquidgameworks
    Its getting a bit cluttered anyway IMO its quite hard to find things if you don't know the name of them, With no response in 6+ weeks, I think its time to try other horizons... Do let your time waste away.. You could at least be selling these elsewhere while waiting for GS to get they're act together on the GameSalad Marketplace (-:
    Like http://thatdevelopermarket.com for instance ;)

    I myself am also waiting for a responses on GS for this...
  • LiquidGameworksLiquidGameworks Anchorage, AKMember, Sous Chef Posts: 956
    @LeonardDeveloper Honestly, I'd cool it with the pimping your website. While its neat you're trying to start a new marketplace, I think you may be going a bit too far blatantly advertising a competing entity to GS's own MP.
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    @liquidgameworks
    Cheers... Thanks for the info - I will oblige

    @LiquidGames - I don't think that @LeonardDeveloper is really advertizing his marketplace and he's really not trying to take away customers from GameSalad. He is simply trying to offer better solutions for people in this thread while theyre waiting for a resolution on these issues from GS. After 6 weeks I'd look for a temporary alternative, wouldn't you?
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    @LeonardDeveloper - I've sent you a PM.
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    @Digi-chain
    Look forward to it, Checking now

    Does the marketplace accept stuff that's being sold elsewhere, does anyone know? Cheers.
  • DigiChainDigiChain Member, PRO Posts: 1,288
    I believe so, I think some of the DBA are available here and on their own website.

    But it seems pretty irrelevant anyway since nobody seems to have had any marketplace correspondence for a couple of months.
