Moving from MAC to PC - Any words of advice?

TomCoffee

About 4 years ago I bought a Mac just to develop with GameSalad. I made a bunch of apps, mostly published to iOS (a few to Amazon) and I have experienced some success as a developer (mostly luck.. but still)...

I haven't even looked at GameSalad in about a year... But way back in the day GameSalad for Windows was wonky, had a different interface and didn't work real well...

Just curious: has it gotten better? I'd like to get back into it (maybe even work on Windows games) but I have limited time and being able to sit down with my Windows 10 PC laptop would be a helluva lot more convenient and useful than having to remote into my Mac every time I wanted to test something...

I'll obviously still need the Mac to publish iOS games.... but was just curious if the Windows GameSalad had gotten any better...

Thanks in advance...

It still has a different interface, same as always. Not sure about any Windows 'wonkieness' since I work on the Mac versions.

My recent experience with GameSalad Windows is that I wouldn't want to be working with it. I am a long-time Mac user, but have seen and worked with the recent Windows builds because I'm working with someone who is on a PC machine.

I don't know why, but the stability of the PC version and reliability as well, were horrible.

We've spent a LOT of man-hours getting the PC tool cleaned up. Still some lingering issues to resolve, but the next PC build in particular should be pretty great (see @CodeWizard's latest State of GameSalad post for more on this).
