@adent42 I would appreciate it if you could give us a review on the current situation and where the company is headed.

Is this still A reliable tool for publishing games in the coming years In both Apple/Google stores?

Does GameSalad have plans to take part in the AI revolution?

I always thought the company had tremendous potential, I understand the focus on other markets.

I suggested in the past and I suggest again today more than ever to consider the possibility for paid users to receive the source code and/or add their own code, even if for an additional payment.

AI Is so so powerful, GameSalad must find a way to harness these abilities to both users and GameSalad benefit!

Looking forward to your response.

Thanks

For question 1 GameSalad is a _mostly_ reliable tool for publishing. The stores keep throwing changes at us and sometimes we're slow to respond, but we do eventually.

For AI we're just trying to find the time, but yes we want to integrate AI (and it also works for both our developer and education markets):

• Step 1, fine tune an LLM that can answer questions about GameSalad
• Step 2, integrating image gen AI into GameSalad
• Step 3, train an LLM to do Text to Code.

Part of the reason we haven't moved faster is waiting for the tooling to settle down (and figuring out how much it will cost us / how much to charge. AI is EXPENSIVE), but mostly between maintenance and other issue we're just moving slow lately.

Step 3 is hard until we can figure out how to map GameSalad code to text descriptions of what it does in a scalable way.

It's unexpectedly easer on "real" code because while the possibilities are more complex, there is also a whole lot more training data. It may come down to going through the forums and find all of the "how do I..." questions and then mapping those to sample actors or behavior sets to do that very thing, but again, it takes time to train.

Hope that helps!

@adent42 thank you for the reply.

You can use the community to help train the model, I'm sure there are still some experienced users here who would be happy to help (me included).

I hope you're following developments in the field, the products people achieve without knowing how to program are amazing.

GameSalad should be part of this ,hopefully soon then later.

Thanks
