GameSalad 0.7.0 is here!

December 28 2009, 7:22pm

GameSalad beta version 0.7.0 is now available for download, bringing you some great new features: Attribute Saving The single most requested feature since GameSalad launched is finally here: saving! Use the new ‘Save Attribute’ and ‘Load Attribute’ behaviors to store and retrieve data such as high scores, unlocked levels, control preferences, character stats, save game data, or anything else you want to be preserved between sessions. Easy Drag-and-Drop Asset Management Adding images and sounds to your game has just gotten a whole lot easier, with fewer steps required for a wide variety of related tasks. Create and place a new actor by dragging an image straight from your desktop into the scene, animate it by dragging a group of images into the behaviors area, give it a Play Sound behavior by simply dragging the sound file in, and much more. File types won’t slow you down either, as GameSalad can now automatically convert new assets from many different image and sound formats. New Template Tutorials Several new GameSalad tutorials are available, each providing a step-by-step guide to building one of the template games. These tutorials range from simple walkthroughs for the first-time user, to advanced material for more experienced game creators. To access these tutorials, click the info (’i') button beside one of the templates in the GameSalad dashboard, then click ‘Start Tutorial.’ Download GameSalad 0.7.0 here.
