When will Loop / Loop over table / Scene selection by index be available in PC Creator?

Hi.

New Gamesalad user and first post here, but does anyone know when the above features will be implemented in the PC version of Gamesalad? As a development tool it seems quite restricted without this kind of functionality, and it looks like these have been available in the Mac version for years.......

Thanks.

    The loop function hasn't been in Creator for a year yet. It's still a "new" behavior. If you read the State of GameSalad posts (stickied at the top of the forums) you can read about GameSalad's updates on Windows Creator.

    Honestly…i would save up for a 2nd hand Mac if you can, not only is it better to work with imo (i hate the windows version) you also get the latest updates.

    Im not anti windows in any way but it seems the wait for the new features is getting longer and longer?

    They're still developing the Windows version. They're currently working on the large update which Mac got earlier this year. This includes the new table functions and new behaviors as well.

    Thanks for the responses guys.

    The "State of Gamesalad" thread still doesn't even hint at a release date for the Windows version, only that they're "working hard" and hope to have a nightly build out soon....so I think it's safe to say not this side of 2015. Am I also right in saying that the nightly builds are only available to Pro users?

    As for buying a Mac, I'm a newbie to Gamesalad, so I'm not bought in at all and have always been a PC user. I've started working on my first game (prototype), but sounds like it's probably worth me checking out Corona or Construct 2 (or just diving in with Unity as I wouldn't mind giving that a go anyway....even though the 2D sounds like it's just a bolt-on). This is only likely to be a hobby while I'm in-between contracts for work, so won't be spending anything unless it looks like there's a possibility to monetise something I do in any way.

    The forums here do look really good / helpful and I've liked the simplicity of the creator so far, but it does seem like the PC creator is going to be an afterthought for the foreseeable... :-\

    I'll probably finish off what I'm working on and post it here when done to get some feedback on the idea anyway, then see where they are with the creator at that point.

    Thanks again guys.
