State of GameSalad on 9-4-2014
Hello yet again everyone! First I’d like to apologize for being a day late on this post (it looks like I’ve been caught with my pants down).
As I’m sure everyone is getting used to by now: I've gathered some more updates for you since last weeks’ State of GameSalad post. Enjoy!
The terrible issue that happened to one of our members recently (essentially having their game copied and uploaded to the app store).We’re still working to resolve this issue as soon as possible! We have a fix being tested by our QA team in house currently (gotta make sure the fix doesn't break anything else) and are hoping to have the fix out to everyone in the near future. More info in this thread: http://forums.gamesalad.com/discussion/71779/can-you-re-engineer-a-store-build-gs-game-gs-source-code-safety#latest
Release 0.11.2. (The next of our planned releases for Mac Creator) More good progress being made here. Some ugly bugs that occurred when using the Viewer on iOS 8 devices have been killed and will be included in this update. One such issue that has been fixed is the text and graphics being misaligned.
Release 11 for Windows users. (This is the Windows version of the last big release Mac Creator got.) The many bugs here are being slowly but surely worked on and after release 0.11.2 for Mac goes live this will become a higher priority!
Release 0.12.0. (The first big release since 0.11.0. and planned to come out after release 0.11.2) Still a lot of issues being looked at and good progress being made! One such major issue being looked at is memory leaks caused by using the change scene behavior.
New nightly build for Mac! There’s still some issues blocking release that need to be fixed before this will be available to you guys. One of the issues stopping this is the one mentioned above (memory leaks caused by using the change scene behavior). Feel free to follow the status here: http://bugs.gamesalad.com/show_bug.cgi?id=110
New marketplace. Great progress still being made here. As for new news. a little birdy told me that the marketplace is having makeup put on! (the app is getting its physical appearance worked on some) I stand by my statement of “Should be great when it’s done!”.

Glad this is on there, while i experienced this much worse in previous versions, I still notice gameplay can get a little bit laggy when the game has been open a while and a lot of scene changes have occured

@Hopscotch Hahaha clever
@Braydon_SFX @jamie_c I wasn't sure if it was too mean, but I figured "Hey. Worst case I just have to remove it." and couldn't resist
@PhilipCC No it's not me haha
@Hopscotch Guess you didn't notice the "pants down" link in ForumNinja's first paragraph.

I don't miss things like that @PhillipCC, but I do scour @ForumNinja's posts for clickable areas. He WILL sneak in something like that once a teaser is available, I can just see it in those eyes.

I like new interface, it's so minimalistic
Shadows Peak is an atmospheric psychological horror that explores the dark side of a player.

It has been two weeks now if we don't want our work stolen (That's assuming my work is worth stealing ) myself and everyone else can not publish until this is completed.
I really hope this is number one on GameSalad's list of things to do. I know you can't release it until it is tested and not going to break anything else. I just want to know if you are throwing everything at it including the kitchen sink to get done asap and is not going to drag on and on.

@colander There's a reason it's number one on this list
@colander we are working really hard on this. Depending on when iOS 8 is release we will bring out the encrypted project fix with iOS 8 support or release the hot fix (hopefully ) next week some time. It is the top thing we are working on and it is almost through QA.
@ForumNinja @BlackCloakGS "Good to hear"....patiently waiting tapping foot
Edit: Added @BlackCloakGS we posted around the same time and I missed your answer

@colander In Tuesday's Meet-Up we found another issue that will need to be dealt with in iOS8.
Apple are changing, once again, the way IAPs are handled. At the moment there seems to be a temporary measure up in iTunes Connect where you must submit your binary with only one IAP, get it approved, then add your other IAPs!
What's coming next relates to kids making purchases in an App without parental/guardian approval. Like a Parental Gateway but on Apple's end. The GS Team are aware of it but need to see exactly what Apple do and if it affects GS Creator.
I was at the meeting and heard that. Changes are ongoing with all of the platforms from time to time. Its not much help being able to publish for the latest OS if your work can be stolen so easily. My concern was obfuscation would take a back seat to iOS 8 and other things. It is good to know it is number one and will be out soon...I hope.

beautiful
@colander Touche! I didn't know you were at the Meet-Up.
I agree about obfuscation being the greatest immediate concern.
BTW, Apple's changes are already appearing in iTunes Connect. I just logged in and they have changed the front end and entire layout since this morning.
