    Was this game made with Gamesalad? If so how did you add their SDK to your Gamesalad file?

  • JungrilaJungrila Member, PRO Posts: 46

    Hello, gingagaming! This game is surely made with GameSalad. But I don't know how they add their SDK to my app.

    I'll PM you so not to continue this on the forum and mess up your announcement.

    Good luck with your game.

    Ive played this on IOS a few months back, pretty fun :)

    Hi jay2dx,
    thank you for reply and playing may game.
    I have added "Easy mode" and "Single-touch mode" with it.

    It seems that there are some questions about my app.

    LeTang's business model is sharing profits by banner ads and interstitial ads.

    However, GameSalad doen't support any banner ads with Android.

    So, instead, I added my own banner ads which bring users to my other games.

    The loading wheel in the middle of the scene is also only an actor made by me. I sent my apk made with GameSalad to LeTang. They added their SDK to it and sent back to me. Probably, their SDK is like a launcher with advertisements.

    And, we added "except Japan" in our contract. Now, 90% or more of my users are from Japan.

    I think damage is small even if they are swindlers or the like. ;)

    Hey Jungrila.

    You should be very worried about what they added, as your app is behaving very suspiciously.

    1. Start by itself on the background.
    2. Shows ads over any other other app running!!!

    Malwarebytes doesn't detect anything yet, but I had to uninstall it to get my system back.

    Thank you diogoreden, I'll ask them about this issue and consider the measures.

    I have been loking into this company Latang Inc after some recent correspondence. A simple google of thier company name turns some bigs stones. They are infamous for installing malware on your device, which shows adverts not just in your game!

    The thing is, it goes undetected by most malware software and when the user realises what is causing the malware, they think its you as the game is published in your developer name and not letang inc! There is some threads on the net blacklisting developers who use letang inc.

    Proceed with caution is my advice.

    I've been trying to tap into the Chinese mobile market after I saw this article

    http://www.techinasia.com/10-android-app-stores-china-2014-edition/

    but all these website are either in Chinese and/or require their own embedded SDK. Anyone have any success with Chinese appstore aggregator?

    I appreciate you for your advice, gingagaming.

    I can't find such threads.
    Could I ask you some examples?

    Thank you. It was one of my earlyer games that needs revamping if I'm honest. My latest Retro Bingo is pretty cool if you like that sort of thing! Its awaiting approval on iTunes, but is out on Google play and Amazon and is starting to get quite a bit of attention in the way of downloads/feedback. Have a peek here:

    @gingagaming
    I have been trying to do it own my own from the list below but almost impossible w/o a Chinese translators to help you every steps of the way. Also, most of them require their SDK embedded to your apk.
