GameSalad 0.8.9 Beta – App Loader Fix, New Blending Modes

July 23 2010, 6:37pm

Hey, everybody! So, as I’m sure most of you are aware, there have been some issues with Apple’s Application Loader and using it to submit GameSalad games to iTunes. Rest assured, we’ve resolved the issue with GameSalad 0.8.9 Beta, available now! In GS 0.8.9 there are no longer any issues regarding Apple’s Application Loader. We’ve also resolved the timing issue related to progress indicators, clock start time and actual game start time. All timers should now be in sync with the start of a scene. In addition to these fixes, we’ve also thrown in a small graphic feature: additional blending modes. In addition to the normal, opaque, and additive modes, you can now choose screen and multiply as blending options. For a little more explanation on blending modes, check out this page on our Support Wiki. You can find these blending modes in the actor’s graphics attributes as well as in the Particles behavior. So, for general overview, here’s what you’re getting in GameSalad 0.8.9 Beta:

A pretty small update, but a vital one we feel. And, believe me, there’s some exciting stuff on the way! In the meantime:
