Read More.GameSalad is as an easy to use Game development platform that can be used to develop games without having to write any code. not happy, and won’t be returning to GameSalad once my games are updated. i more recently signed up for a month to update my games, having been told the android issues were resolved, but now finding my updates crash on apple. I recently published my last game a couple of months ago to android, before cancelling my membership, only to find the updates GameSalad did, made my game crash on Sony and Samsung devices. You’ll get better quality and value for money from a number of other platforms like unity and unreal engine, to name a couple. It’s great for someone wanting to learn or refamiliarise themself with the basics of programming logic, but if you spend more than a few months with this engine you’re only suspending your own development and learning, as well as wasting your money on what’s a highly restrictive overpriced construction platform.
