A Message to the GameSalad Community

October 29 2010, 6:43pm

Hi everybody! I would like to thank everyone in the GameSalad community for their comments, critiques, and concerns over our previous announcement of GameSalad Direct. We really value your feedback! In fact, I’m pleased to announce that we’ve made a number of changes largely as a result of your comments with more details to come soon.
GameSalad will be launching a new subscription and membership program that will continue to allow developers to publish under their own Apple developer accounts. Under the new program, there will be no “per app” submission costs and no revenue share. For those of you who valued having GameSalad manage the publishing process, GameSalad will still offer to publish some titles under a different program.
Next week, we are also launching a new “Professional” tier subscription, replacing the current “Pro” subscription. Further, the current “Express” subscription will also be seeing significant tweaks as well. We are pricing the new subscriptions competitively and users will be given a fast and cost effective way to upgrade from their current subscriptions.
The new memberships will go live concurrently with GameSalad 0.9.0, coming soon. Everyone here at GameSalad is very excited about this new plan and what it means for people making games. Thank you for your thoughts, suggestions, support, input, concerns, emails, and even phone calls. Mahalo.
