What kind of computer are you using for game salad? What does your workstation look like? Just wondering as I might be upgrading soon

    @jamie_c Hey Jamie, long time. Hope life is treating you well. How often do you use GameSalad running Mojave? I was warned off upgrading and the reason why I haven't purchased a new MacBook as I can't lose the use of GameSalad. I was under the impression Mojave messed it right up. I think @Armelline rolled back from it too. What are you running Ted?

    The RC version linked in a sticked thread runs okay on Mojave so I updated. I'm on Mojave now though I haven't dared update to Catalina yet due to 32bit apps.

    @gingagaming, what @Armelline said. The RC version seems to run fine on Mojave. I hadn't used the previous version in months because it was not working right under Mojave, but the RC seems to run fine. I have no problems at all. I'm just about finished with my latest project and have been working on it daily for about 3 weeks now with no problems. It has a dark theme now which took a little getting used too, there are still a few quirks with that, but nothing that stops anything from working.

    Unfortunately I needed to upgrade my computer for work purposes and GS feels like it hit a brick wall when running in Catalina. Looks like I won't be finishing my games any time soon... if ever.

    Are you sure you're on the RC? It should run just fine on Catalina.

    Hey, the PC Creator isn't bad! I love it, only my computer just crashed yesterday while doing it, but that's because of a computer problem I've been having for years. (I'm very sure). Started using the Online Creator now, it's smoother.
    Or are you using the Online Creator? Fun fact, the Online Creator works even on a phone... not easy, and some copying limitations I'm pretty sure, (for instance, control c isn't really an option on mobile... or is it?), but it can work. :open_mouth:

    Actually I don't know if you can even access instances on mobile. Can't seem to. But I may have before.- Sorry for the tangent @goliath.
    That would be hilarious if I could say say that my "computer" that I use for GS primarily is my phone! :lol:
    But it's not.
