Hello! It's that time again... time for another weekly state of GameSalad post.

Estimated Stable Build Schedule

No stable release is scheduled yet, but we're getting close! QA is still digging through our first release candidate for 0.11.0. A handful of blocking bugs are stopping us from pushing out the first release candidate. We're working through them as we can.

Amazon in-app-purchase and GameCircle are in QA and being tested. Once they've received a clean bill of health, we'll push out version 0.10.4.

What’s New This Week?

1. QA is banging on the new Amazon IAP and GameCircle systems. I'll do a followup post that gives more details on why this is awesome... the summary is that we'll be opening up Kindle Fire publishing for free to everyone for a limited time. You'll be able to take full advantage of IAP and GameCircle in your apps without being pro. I can't wait to see what you guys put out there! :D

2. We're continuing to optimize the HTML5 engine for Tizen support. We've got two engineers working away on this problem to get it finished up soon. We've made some really good progress this week, but more to go!

3. We're back on the iOS 7 compatibility issues. It's looking good. There's some issues with the Creator with Xcode 5 that we're still working through before pushing this through QA.

4. We released a preview of the coming GameSalad Distribution Network for all pros. Click here for more details.

5. We're still trying to wrangle the contract necessary to release async multiplayer into the nightly build.

6. Various Android bugs are also being fixed for the nightly builds. Keep an eye out for them.

    @codewizard if by wrangle you mean what they want to charge? I know I am willing to pay a fair fee for server usage. I know you guys are running a business so a reasonable fee would not be an unreasonable request in my opinion.

    By wrangle, I mean we're waiting on lawyers to do their thing. :D

    @CodeWizard, I am wondering how big is a Kindle Fire, is it Ipad sized or Iphone sized, because my game, Math Trivia: Number Madness is still in development, and it's Ipad sized right now to fit all of the actors.

    what about the ability to take files from a server, weren't you guys working on that?
  • sniffy176sniffy176 Member, PRO Posts: 48

    Great as usual.
    It seems every week there is always a new feature that is just around the corner. Getting excited for the release now.
  • 68kStudios68kStudios Member Posts: 219
    Please don't forget the "new behavior that will allow you to contact a web server, request a JSON document and put it into a table"...any update about this?

    he said earlier that it's tied together with the async multiplayer.

    How have you been waiting for a year on a feature that was only brought up a month ago? I suppose you mean in general not specific to JSON.
  • LeonardDeveloperLeonardDeveloper Member Posts: 4,630
    Interesting to see how JSON would be integrated, Does this mean we'll have some sort of console going on?

    I think the JSON data will go straight to a table.
  • CodeWizardCodeWizard Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 1,143
    Yeah, so I've tried two different formats for this "state of" post. Originally I kept more detailed track of stuff that was pending and whatnot. More recently I'm focusing on just what's new for the week.

    Seems like I should have a hybrid approach... or a page on the forum that I update with the stuff that's coming and the ETA. Gee, almost like a roadmap page. I'll see about getting that going so folks don't think we've forgotten anything.
  • KevinCrossKevinCross London, UKMember Posts: 1,894
    @CodeWizard, can you have one page on the site that's updated regularly with fixes and new features coming in the next release please? As well as a roadmap? Forum posts are great but everything seems to be split and scattered across different threads and posts, and to see any official comments we have to wade through pages of non-official comments.
  • CodeWizardCodeWizard Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 1,143
    Echo... echo... echo... ;)

    Yeah ok, admittedly I didn't read all of your last post. But yes, one page would be nice.. But not a page that can be commented on.
  • CodeWizardCodeWizard Inactive, Chef Emeritus Posts: 1,143
    Agreed. I might do it on the forums but disable comments just for easiness. I like your thinking!

    Have to agree with @kevincross on this, Would just make it a bit cleaner.

    @codewizzard Do you think that it would be a big update for support of vector files? (i.e: .PDF, .AI, ETC - It would make it really handy for UB Purposes) I've been developing something in Corona using Vectors, It just sparked my mind re this in GameSalad, After All Corona compiles in lua as well, This also works for Corona's enterprise solution (Which compiles in Native - Javascipt or Obj C) - Which would essentially mean it shouldn't be too hard to be applicable with a Lua engine & Native engine?

    (Could an API be called for both Java & OBJ C for use of vector files within Apps? I'm speaking about the guts of GameSalad Creator itself.)

    @CodeWizard - Or just add a "What we're working on" section to the Weeklies, just a few bullets so that people know you haven't forgotten and don't have to say "Any updates on XXX?".

    Any updates on XXX?

    QS =D

    QS =D
    X=Not a specific value
    So I think he means a "random"/not a specific update.
    But that's just a guess ;)
