The reason why I've been so quiet recently...

Some might know me, whereas more recent additions to the Gamesalad family might not have a clue. But I'm Ian the 2D game graphics guy from Graphic-Buffet and I have been an active community member for over two years and for the last 6 months I have kinda dropped off the map.

The reason for this is simple: My laptop was too old to run the latest Gamesalad… I have access to DBA templates but most didn't work as they needed later versions… I am a pro GS member, with DBA tools and an Apple account but I can't actually do much… Hundreds of dollars down but a bit stuck..

I tried to use 3rd party devs to create my games but to be honest that didn't end well… Remember to only pay the final amount AFTER you have the game… More hundreds of dollars down

Then I have a new baby who is 6 months old (baby number 2)… More hundreds of dollars down

Then my game graphic site dies when I tried to update it… more hundreds.. well you get the idea!

BUT FINALLY… After many months of hard graft, custom game graphics, blogging and saving it looks like a new mac is on the horizon!!!

I hope that over the next month I will be getting my new machine and be back in action creating games…

My next work in progress IS…

    Will be good to grab that new mac along with the latest version of GS and then all our templates via the DBA Resource Centre Pro.

    Ian just checked and you still have until the 2nd of Feb 2014 for your license, we have released a lot of templates while you have been away so don't forget to download them all but i will need to set up a new license for you (pop me a mail or Skype when you get your new mac).
