So, I know that we need to have a PayPal account to receive the money, but does it need to be on the email account that we use for GameSalad? I have a PayPal on a personal email account, and not one on my GameSalad email.

Thanks

No, it doesn't. Mine was on a different email and I already received some of the payments.

Quick question: How do we see our Appbackr scores they gave the games we submitted?

As yet there's no confirmation that games that weren't pre-scored are either being scored or are eligible for the extra incentives.

i got some of my free months today, but still no paypal payout from Gamesalad. Anyone here got free months and GS payouts already?

BBEnk

I got all my months for my 3 games but no payout. BUT If you read the post made by GS they said we would get free months this week and Incentive payments would be around 30 days later after they get money from Tizen and only Appbacker payments were made this week.

also note: I did not receive any e-mail saying I had my free pro months back just happen to notice my badge had returned so I then check my setting at it was all there.

CodeMonster

Mmmm everyone seems to be getting their free months now.
I had to games sent in early jan so I hope I get it soon

Vision Strike Ware LLC

I got my first 3 free months of pro. So excited to get back to publishing! WOOHOO!!!! Thanks guys!

I'd like to point out that i'm missing out on thousands because the Tizen sdk won't work on my computer. Even though I have 10 out of 10 for one of my apps. No smiles from this corner

CodeMonster

@IcedB same, i could only upload 2 apps because after i uploaded two, gamesalad creator would crash every second and now its fine but back then it wasnt, so i only got to send in 2 , but thats a shame! sorry man

No yet for both payment and pro.

Armelline

I submitted some in December, at least one in January and at least one in the first few days of February. No pro or money yet. I'm taking that to mean I wasn't eligible for any appbackr incentives. Really wish they'd clarify that.

Tvndra

No pro or cash yet... hopefully this week! ( ~O) ~:> )

Chaser

No pro! No GS cash nor app backer incentive. Submitted to GS 1/16 and1/21 both were scored as noted in my email from GS

Axygames

have faith, GameSalad is great, GameSalad is the light ^:)^

wpaten

I have been paid for 2 of my apps. I have also received my pro membership months for what looks like 5 of my 10 submitted apps. That all happened within this last week.

I'm pretty sure their working hard from morning till night going through the list of hundreds of people that submitted for the Tizen program. They are probably going down a list from those with most games downward.

Must be a headache trying to validate all those games and double checking to make sure who is getting what and that a game hadn't been submitted twice, etc. Judging at the speed things are going. It's probably not easy. Imagine just checking on a single person probably takes 2 hours on average so they are probably only getting through dozens of people a day. That is my guess anyways. They can't just hand out incentives and free months just by looking at a list else they end up giving more to people with errors in the system, or scammers and such. Unless superman is in their staff looking through hundreds of documents a second and stuff, this isn't gonna be easy work to do. On top of the programming and bug fixing they already have to do, things aren't gonna be nilly willy.

We have hit 1,000! Thanks to everyone who participated!

The main post has been updated. I'll follow up on Tuesday with the feedback from my call with Appbackr later this afternoon.

CodeMonster

-- Free months: free months have been processed for all known validated submissions as of the 1/31 report from Appbackr.
Dan

@dgackey i submitted my apps around mid/early jan and did everything i was told, so does this mean im not getting the incentives for my 2 apps?

dgackey

@CodeMonster, that's not the case at all. It just means Appbackr's reports didn't match your game, and therefore didn't send us payment for it.

As I mentioned in the top post, Appbackr's had some issues that they need to resolve -- not matching a bunch of games that were submitted properly is one of those issues and the primary thing I'm discussing with them this afternoon.

FallacyStudios

@dgackey Yea I agree with @CodeMonster . Can you check up and see what is up with the status of apps submitted from early to mid Jan? I got paid for one from Dec, but nothing from Jan.

My bad, I had submitted this prior to seeing your post above.

dgackey

Again guys, that is the focus of the call I am having with Appbackr this afternoon. The issue is on their end and I expect them to resolve it.

CodeMonster

@dgackey oh thats cool then so im guessing since my apps didnt match appbackrs report i wont be getting the appbackr incentives right?
but ill just be getting the 3 months of pro + $50 per game accepted?


cheers

-- Free months: free months have been processed for all known validated submissions as of the 1/31 report from Appbackr. Once we have verification from Intel regarding the rest of the submissions we'll go ahead and process them too.

Should I be concerned that I have December submitted apps and haven't received any free months yet?

dgackey

* Appbackr sent us a list of users they believe were GameSalad developers.
* We know they missed a lot of you.
* I'm talking to them soon to explain this to them and secure their assurance that they will find and pay us for the games they missed.
* Once I have concrete details to share I will post them here.
* Free months have been credited to people we know have been reported as valid thus far, but as soon as we have a final list from Intel we'll do the rest.

CodeMonster

oh that makes sense, thanks heaps @dgackey
