Agreed. One good note for windows users is that they've brought in a new person to work on both I believe. So hopefully that'll get things rolling around here for features and monetization.
@thekidinboston The Windows version does have access to the iOS In-App Purchase options. However, to make an iOS game you will need a Mac to finalize the publishing to the App Store.

Me too. I am hoping the issue with the preview will be fixed soon. I can not get the preview to work in the Windows beta version.
The Mac & Windows version of GameSalad Creator will be in "Beta" for a very, very long time...
And to the Original Poster - Windows Creator 10.5.0 is being worked on right now, then 11.0 will be released after that. This is what I was told by the big boss... So, we are very, very far behind...

I think it is time for me to buy a Mac.
11.0 ISN'T the next release? Damn. They say they're working on a unified version, but I like the way the Windows version looks and works, and I'm sure the Mac guys love theirs.
I don't want to have to re learn and re-get-used to everything.
Not sure if this is the problem caused by the version of the creator and the viewer but I gathered I can not view on my android devices at all with my windows creator (The creator is 10.4 and the viewer is 11.0). I tired on my friend's mac and it worked like a charm! (and i m not a Mac fan at all!)
Also I found quiet a few problems with the windows version. The phone or the camera view dont have any icons. There is no reset button in the creator's viewer!! Also when I try to use expressions the window always pop up behind my taskbar and I cant reach it. The menu scroll is very laggy and makes it hard to go through the code! I havent even got to the the final stages and I am well disappointed with the engine so far.

PS. We Windows users will not have to re-learn anything, as the Mac will be transforming to the Windows UI, not the other way around.
Shame about it being 10.5. We're REALLY far behind.
And good! I prefer the Windows UI!

Codybeans, are you telling me that you cant utilize the monetization in the Windows version?!??!

gotcha. Thanks... I was getting scared that publishing and monetization were completly worthless.

As unfortunate as I am to say it, no, it really, truly isn't.
