Amazon is really excited about promoting the GS community, and we think that's a huge opportunity. This is a great thing for GS developers, as we are working on things like Fire TV and other new platforms that will bring more options to GS users. Yes… on their forum… "You've probably noticed for a while now that we've been doing a lot more promotions with Amazon, and have heard us mention that we are working with them to feature more GS-created content on their store and their devices. Shame on you, GameSalad!Īnyway… I wish all of you following my ramblings a happy new year and all the best for 2015! Well… they have lost my trust for sure now and I had the pleasure of working on some of the featured games with some of the best GameSalad coders. It’s been put off as a ‘minor mistake’ on the side of GameSalad.
How can a game engine creator abuse trust in such a blunt way? Aren’t they relying on the community to make games and promote their tool by delivering standout applications? Isn’t a game engine only as good as it’s most popular games to promote it? I have had art stolen, games ripped and redistributed, publishers leaking beta versions before release and endless deals going south but this one even surprised me. The fact that the games were on the store for free, while their own version of the game might as well be up with a price tag attached made it even more strange. None of the developers I worked with knew about the deal. It turned out that the creators of the game engine at GameSalad decided to put all games (nearly 800 apps) from their online html5 showcase and competitions onto Amazon.

All of them for free and without the developers’ knowledge. Those were suddenly listed on Amazon for the kindle fire. Some of them with friends in the UK and US working with GameSalad. I have been working on a lot of games over the years. Suddenly, a friend points me to the Amazon store. It was totally unlike me as I hate the cold and the snow but had a good time nevertheless.

A nice holiday season spent offline and a trip to the snow made up for it. Trying to the year with some new posts after a not so good end to 2014.
