    @BlackCloakGS thanks for organising these!

    I have not missed a single one, but usually only sign up minutes before.

    Only drawback for me is that its 2am here and cutting into my creative time. :)

    @BlackCloakGS @ForumNinja

    Thanks for the reminder email with the Calendar links.

    However, I clicked on iCal link to add the appointment and a Zip file of an App was downloaded?

    Edited: Ignore the rest of the original post guys.

    I had a dirty trackball and everything I tried to click was off by a few pixels... and a few pixels in native display mode on a Retina iMac is barely discernible.

    I thought you had sent me a free app :D which is why I said in the original post:

    "What’s up? A free App? Wow, thanks. :p "

    We really need an emoji for forehead slap. It would get used a lot in this forum... by me.

    Wait, just to confirm, for people who are in the UK, this meetup will start at 1am or 2am? This is my first GameSalad meetup. Wouldn't want to miss it.

    Dat GameSalad Research Guy :D

    Pretty sure it's 1am. I may be mistaken though, it's been a whole month since I last had to know :tongue:

    I now just need to work out what questions to ask now that I can't nag about creator speed...

    @Armelline and @Socks should think about presenting a talk next moth. There is so many good guide and tips you two have posted on the forums any of them would be a good talk for the meetup.

    I'd forgotten it's the General Election today (don't worry, I voted!), so there's a good chance I'll be watching election coverage when this talk starts, so please be certain to record it!

    My questions I'd be asking if I do turn up are these, so someone please ask them:

    1. Any progress on custom fonts? Still itching to get those impelmented.
    2. Any chance of getting the 50 table limit removed? Not hard to exceed that. Since I've successfully added additional tables by editing the XML files, I assume the limit is arbitrary?

    And I have a few short topics I could present next month if needed. But same proviso - 5-10 mins, along with one or two or more other speakers.

    Don't worry I will record it like always

    yes the engine now supports it. Now if i can only find time to put it into creator. Currently we are swamped by other things like ARC.

    1. Any chance of getting the 50 table limit removed? Not hard to exceed that. Since I've successfully added additional tables by editing the XML files, I assume the limit is arbitrary?

    Yes this limit is imposted do to some poor code in our tables lib. We hope in the coming months to optimize the lib an lift that limit.

    And I have a few short topics I could present next month if needed. But same proviso - 5-10 mins, along with one or two or more other speakers.

    You could alway put all the shot topics in to one longer talk call it Tips From a Seasoned Pro.
    I am still looking for a presenter for June. I really liked you post on how to use the display text behavior.

    I look forward to watching it!

    ARC definitely the top priority, and every second you've spent working on that has been worth it. It's literally a night and day difference! Looking forward to seeing this implemented though!

    Sounds great!

    I'd be happy to do that for a later talk but I'm so absurdly busy right now that I couldn't do that for June. My offer of a 5-10 min segment still stands though. (Custom fonts would save me something in the region of 50 hours of work on current project, though, so I could always put that time to use on a talk or two ;) )

    Does some one want to do a talk about how to do custom fonts with GameSalad 0.13 for June?

    @Socks do you have any good GameSalad math talks?

    Well now I have to come. Election be damned!

    @Armelline you can always watch on your phone in line to vote ;) Gotowebinar has a mobile app.

    I've used it before, it's actually pretty nifty :D

    I'm all voted already, it's just going to be a VERY interesting result (we're looking at a hung parliament for sure with the likelihood of neither major party being able to form an easy coalition and a real chance of a minority government or another election forced. So I'll definitely have the TV on in the background, but I'm sure I can watch the meetup too :D

    I don't think beauty is the right word to use in a sentence about yourself. :D
