This really opens up a lot of game development possibilities! Now you can store data remotely, and you can even create a turn-based game all synced through servers! Awesome! Available on a pro account only. New monetization options: New ways to make money! Chartboost and RevMob Ad Networks have been added to the software, which means more ads being inserted into your game, equalling more profit for your game. Looping behaviors: I'm super excited about this one! Looping and loop over table behaviors reduce the complexity of your project by far! For example, what would have taken 10 behaviors now will only take 1 or 2 at the most.Įnhancements to text and strings: You can now display text relative to the position of an actor. This alone is exciting, but there's more. New display options, substrings, and replace and find functions allow complex string editing. I've seen this already running some of my old projects in version 0.11 Optimized rendering: The whole rendering system for images has been revamped, which drastically improves the performance of your game. New multi-touch options: Now you can detect up to 11 touches at a time, increasing the complexity of gameplay that you can deliver to the world.Ĭustom loading icon (pro accounts only): Instead of the standard loading icon, you can now create your own.

Thus, this allows you to unify your design throughout the game.Īnd more features: Tables (a super powerful system we will use throughout this book), changes to the Change Scene behavior, Google Play Tablet Support (for pro users), stretch mode allowing you to develop for the iPhone and deploy to a PC (GameSalad will compensate for the screen size difference and stretch the screen accordingly), tweaks to the rule system, and changes to the OpenURL behaviors.Īll these changes are drastic, and you will see how great it is when you dive into GameSalad. Oh! How many projects I've lost to crashes and bugs! Now we don't have to worry about any of that! If you've used GameSalad in the past, you are going to notice a massive difference in performance and ease of development. Now that you know what's new, let's get it on our computers. Miguel DeQuadros is a game developer and the founder of the independent development studio, Wurd Industries, based in Ontario, Canada. He has been developing iPhone games since the release of the App Store back at the exciting release of iOS 2.0. Since then, he has released 10 games and 1 entertainment app world-wide on the App Store with more to come from Wurd Industries. He was originally interested in 3D animation and graphical design, which he focused on mainly in 2004. But, he then got the game development bug and has been developing iPhone apps since 2008, which also allows him to use his creativity and knowledge of 3D animation for cut scenes and videos within his apps, and he is loving every minute of it.

Starting from his first project, Toy Tennis, back in 2008, down to his current project, SpaceRoads, for PC, Mac, Wii U, and other platforms, he continues to develop high-quality apps and games alike. Moving away from simple game development tools, he now primarily uses Unit圓D, 3D Studio Max, and the Unreal Engine for his current project in an aim to create very high-quality games. His games can be seen on the App Store on iOS, Steam Greenlight, Amazon, and IndieCity, and of course on his website, His games have been reviewed on YouTube by Action Soup Studios, and you can also find his interviews there.In this Pixelmator 2 review I point out that there are some things with Pixelmator that could certainly be improved upon. It has got better with version 2 of Pixelmator, in that it is now possible to fairly easily, add some drop shadows to text and to shapes. In the past I would be able to create drop shadows in Pixelmator, but only by using extra filter plug-ins and the one that I used was from Noise Industries. Well not the only way - there is the making a duplicate and making it into a shadow layer.
