GameSalad Create a Game From Scratch Part 1

[Somakulary]

The Change Velocity Attribute does not make the actor stop... what is the problem?

[VIRUS187online]

its only for macs as ppl who buy PCs are homeless!.... LOL

[TheWickex]

@VIRUS187online Had your brain been bigger than the size of a pea, you would've known PC stands for personal computer, which refers to both Windows and Mac computers.

Continuing, people who use Windows are people who prefer customizability, power and price over looks. You can get a vastly superior Windows PC for half the price of a shitty Mac, with its horrible OS, crappy hardware, and as we can see here, brainless users. There's not a single reason to buy or use a Mac.

[TheAbstractNinja]

@TheWickex thus another prick wasting our time with their personal opinions. Goodbye :)

[bakugan817]

it only works for mac? -_-

[1TheStuffChannel1]

In the new GameSalad, how do I stop the background being collidable?

[1TheStuffChannel1]

Thanks for this, helped me so much!

[NicksLocker]

What behavior would you put if you want to make one of the actors jump but then come back down?

[NicksLocker]

Nice tutorial, thanks for the help. My school's SWAT team is doing some challenge to see who can develop the best educational game. Now I can show everyone how to use GameSalad.

[OzoneGamingOfficial]

How do I make a actor image

[RawZBeefx]

I know this may be a stupid question but if you were to make a game in this program and upload to the app store and if you want to put a price on the game will you have to split the price because of the program ?

[nitsuj1001]

@RawZBeefx

no every dollar you earn is yours.

[nitsuj1001]

@RawZBeefx but you could donate to help the developers to improve the programm

[KillerPanda189]

can these games be uploaded to app store for iPhones



[xMinkks]

@KillerPanda189 yes.

[hhhhhhhh778]

is this for do something for the i phone?

[bucks699]

when i preview it, everything works fine going down but then when i go up it continues going off the screen, I've checked to make sure i did it all correctly and i did. Any reason why its doing this?

[RoyStorey]

@bucks699 Make sure the main Up property is "Up Keyboard is Down". He didn't really mention that and it got me the first time too.

[1TheStuffChannel1]

@RoyStorey This won't work D:

[1TheStuffChannel1]

@bucks699 I have the exact same problem. Anyone?

[BjarkeDuDe]

Is there a way to make more advanced collision shapes?

[CrustyDiscipline]

My background is colliding with the actor, how do i stop it on the newer version

[mdubrules]

what program did you use to create objects

[guppidicus]

great tutorial

[uturnonfun]

the director of transformers 3 just got a wedgie.

[TalvellaMaa]

Does this Game Salad thing only make side scrollers?

[Applaren]

@TalvellaMaa noo

[KameoArtois]

Bachground hahaa

[kld0093]

I don't get it

[channyhong97]

what kind of design software did you use to make those characters?

[Applaren]

@channyhong97 probably photoshop

[SuperLineGuy]

dang i thought it was creating a game scratch :/

[pivotlordlol]

how do you copy the attribute



[macewan]

I highly recommend watching this tutorial for those first starting out.

[Zkrudriverz]

i've got a problem that has nothing to do with this but i can find any solution on the forum.

It seems like rotation interupts acceleration so, my actors start accelerating, i press the mouse button wich tells the actor to rotate and turn left, the acceleration begins from zero.

So how do i make it rotate while still accelerating?

[Akiuk100]

Window's Please I don't want to use A VMware torrent. Torrents are lame az hell

[itheisverdendk]

Is Gamesalad only to make iphone or ipad games?

[Macamune]

Um, I am crating a game and when i press the up button, it keeps going up and never stops UNTIL i press down.

[jippojon]

@Macamune same

[MultiJacob123]

windows plz!!!!!

[WheeBurhProductions]

I do exactly what you did, and yet my character moves for no reason....

[purplesrsmv]

so this does not work with windows?

[animation508]

for iphone 4: 960x640

[AndersonNguyens]

awesome!

[wangbang01]

my guy can go up, but not down, does anybody know what I should do

[rockinsparzy105]

I'm thinking of doing a hack-and-slasher stickfigure game with a moral choice system, kinda like Mass Effect. Do you think that would be possible to do with this program?

[Deadarknight]

got a question, it is about creating character. What program should i use? are there any free and easy to learn program to use? I am fairly new at this and i want to try my hand at it before I jump into it in college.

[QuiescentBedlam]

how do u put it on facebook

[GuitarGhost123]

Is thiw for windows too?

[yeahdrewman13]

@GuitarGhost123 Nope, not yet.

[NLvidsProduction]

my player just goes down when i press preview, i cannot control it

[CorporalGoogoo]

@FredMayX2 Same, cant figure out why, Ive done all he said

[siskavard]

Thanks for this tutorial. I'm getting to know the software. I was curious if it's possible to make a rhythm game with this software? Thanks

[MusicVisualizers]

please make this game for vista O.O

[SimonMOak]

Is this programmable? Or is this just Free Drag and Drop??

[UnclassifiedProducer]

This tutorial is lame. "First we're going to start with an empty project..." How about telling us how you pull up an empty project? This looks like a very old version of the software... but it is listed as the latest version tutorial on the site. If you're going to depend solely on video tutorials to explain how to use the software, make sure the tutorials are up to date.  Otherwise... truly lame.

[nestea5]

where is collision button??

[ps3444]

Check out this cool game made with gamesalad. Outer Space Adventures

[visavis95]

Wow this is phenomenal software. Great job. And i have a quick question. How did u make the game go on forever while the enemies were generated randomly in different places?

[awabeh]

ypu are the best gamesalad

[Cooldudealoha]

How do I make an npc that move back and forth

[DFKVids]

@Sumosumo84 - they are considering making it for Windows.

[BOomBo0mKid]

is this only for the mac computers

[sumosumo84]

yes because it has to do with making iphone apps also

[karl1998]

@BOomBo0mKid D: D: very very very sad

[arblini06]

thank you man i'm voting you rate 5 star very nice

[4thetruth2bsaid]

thanks so much having fun for now.

[Fakepup]

Nothing like making a game to learn how to truly appreciate the art form. I should know :P

Miguel @ FakePup

[xXZarlachXx]

lol.. this isn't from scratch -_-

[purerangeu11]

how do u make a fps game???

[dukeaddict237]

dude start with the basics.

[mrh112]

i dont think you can with this software :( this is mainly for birds-eye view and side on view games, not 3d stuff, that would be cool though

[Zkrudriverz]

can u make fps games?

[babahihibaba]

some of the things you used in this are thing's my gamesalad program doesn't have

[gendaigames]

This video uses a much older version of GameSalad, much has changed since then. The latest version has all the functionality seen in this video and more.

[babahihibaba]

kk :D, i still used this video for advice :D. thanks

[xleo21]

im didnt try this yet

but it looks super awsome :D

btw, you coded this in objective c?

[RandomTurkeys]

where is the "collidable" button? Did you get rid of it all together or put it somewhere else?

[gendaigames]

There is now a "Collide" behavior, where you can choose with which actors a given actor can collide.

[Zkrudriverz]

@gendaigames i don't have an additive button

[ozboybrian]

@gendaigames Yeah Agreed My charecter flew right up I have no idea why =S

Where's the latest tutorial?

[kris10ish]

@gendaigames Do you know what i think everygame that is made the developers should make a sepret program like for example cryengine 2 or 3 should have a game maker that is easy to make games with that can be like crysis you kono

[gboiz88]

what the qua i dont get it

[pontiospaokkaiarkoud]

i dont can open the program what can i do for open it

[tbvdb]

this is stupid. if you want to make the app you have to pay 500 dollar per year xD just ridicoulous

[Cyan76]

I know right! This should be free so I can make like a bajillion apps without having to hire a programmer or learn programming myself and sell them all on the iPhone!

[tbvdb]

I thought that the intention for this program was to let the casual person make games. but @ 500 dollars per year it is just ridiculous for a casual person who wants to make an iphone app!

[Johnnsen]

For casuals that may be true. Where does it actually state that price point? And I'm not sure whether it aims for the casual iPhone developer. It is cross platform stuff, but the iphone part may not be aimed at casuals.

[charlesvdb]

how can I create gravity?

[gendaigames]

You can add gravity by going to the Scene Editor and in the top left, choose the "Scene" tab. Underneath you'll see tabs for Layers and Attributes, click Attributes and you'll see the setting for gravity. Play with different values to find one that suites you.

[daylife17777]

@gendaigames

I have a question, can u create characters in gamesalad? or do u have to do that on your own? Photoshop? etc

[Lichman12]

This seems really really complicated...think I'll just stick with the old fashioned coding

[charlesvdb]

Is coding easier???

I can't code but I find this not so difficult and code looks impossible to me :O

Maybe I have to buy a coding book to make iphone apps ....

[Wilsonaire]

I notice when you click, the Target logo appears. And I don't mean just a generic target, but it looks identical to Target Corporation's patented bullseye logo.

Oh, and GameSalad looks neat. :P

[Dojan5]

It's just so we can see the position of the mouse :P

[Sebastian1011]

for the motion rule, it is easier to just use the "Move" Rule.

[kozzmin]

ok ,were is part 2 ?
