Hi Giderosians,

We officially released Gideros Studio 2012.2. Check our following blog:

http://www.giderosmobile.com/blog/2012/02/07/new-shiny-gideros-studio-2012-2-here/

Or, see the official press release:

http://www.prweb.com/releases/2012/2/prweb9105288.htm

To be honest, without your feedbacks and bug reports, this release wouldn't be possible. Thank you each and all of you, who made our dream a reality. We had great fun while developing this system and we hope that you'll feel the same as you develop your apps.

For those who haven't seen yet - Gideros Studio is for sale for indies and enterprise companies with indie and professional licenses, respectively. For more information, see Gideros Studio pricing page (http://www.giderosmobile.com/pricing)

Please twit us, send our link to developers you know, and help us spread the word! Any help appreciated :-)

so to sell a game do i have to buy the indie license?

gorkem

No, you are not forced to do that (for this version).

MikeHart

No, you are not forced to do that (for this version).

Hi Görkem,

please clarify "for this version". I understand it that you will remove the ability to publish apps with the free version at one point. When will it come? With the next version?

Cheers
Michael

SPDApps

i think he means the free version

i'm an happy indy licensed user !!!
(i think you already know!)

MikeHart

Good 4 you. I am waiting to see what Görkem has to say about my question.

No, you are not forced to do that (for this version).

Make sure that when this changes you do not try and hold your customers to ransom and force them to upgrade each year.
To clarify.
Don't have it stop working at the end of a year. Allow your users to choose between getting a new license for updates etc or continue with the last version their license allowed them to use. If that makes sense.

Oh and of course congratulations on getting this far. Now to hammer the news out there and make it known.

One other thing. I would like to support you guys right now BUT I am not ready to release anything. I am wondering if there was a way (cant think of one at the moment to ensure you don't get ripped off) to pay but not have the license period itself start until I have released the first app using it. It took me most of my license period to get up to speed with the beer framework only to have everything ripped away just as we started to release our products.

@mikehart I didnt intentionally said that - please make sure that we are not going to implement any "nasty" modifications in our terms. However terms may always change in the future, but these won't stop or block developers using Gideros Studio. Please raise your red flag if you are not happy with any of our future decisions (again, my last sentence doesn't mean that we'll modify our licensing terms). Oh checking my post twice not eliminate misunderstandings hehe

@mykyl66 You're so true, and makes sense. At the end of the year it'll never stop working. A free license is "forever free".

Thanks guys for RT'ing, and spreading the word - this really helps. After all Gideros Studio is a huge effort (SLOC just exceeded 110.000 lines), spanning almost 2 years of very intensive work.

I get an error when trying to login and download the new version.
I get: "ERROR: Invalid username. Lost your password? "

But yet I can login to the forum. Why can't I login?

Görkem,

I have absolutely no problems with making money on a product. You are a company and so you need to sell licenses to stay alife. One point that let me look into Gideros was the free version as I know that I can't afford a dime in the next 10 months, maybe 15.
I just wanted to know if you will remove the ability to publish apps from the free version of Gideros in the near future (12-15 months). If you plan to do so, I have no problems with it.
As a user I would just like to see if I should spend my valuable time on a tool that might not be usuable for me at a certain point. Like I told you before. Once I have the money for it, I plan on getting a license. Heck I would still use the free version as i find the splash screen a great way of promoting Gideros. But if you plan on removing the publishing ability, then my efforts could be in danger before I can get a license. Then I would rather not use Gideros, no matter how good it is.

Btw. you can use C*r*na for free too, forever. Just not publish with it. :-) See what I mean?

Cheers
Michael

this is a different login and not related to the forum. Create a new one.

gorkem

@flyingaudio the forum username and the download username are different. You need another email & password pair for the download page.

gorkem

@mikehart I got your point. Currently we have NO plans to remove/disable the free version - heck we have never been inclined or thought to do so.

MikeHart

Ok, thanks >-

mykyl66

Got those sample games yet?

adnaan

I didn't realize the license was coming so soon! Will buy next month for sure. Hopefully my game will be done by then.Thanks for your excellent effort.

moopf

As I've said already, I'm really pleased I came across Gideros last week and I'm more than happy to have paid for a license. Best of luck with the launch and here's hoping that Gideros goes from strength to strength.

gorkem

@adnaan many thanks for your support. Really appreciated

@moopf great to hear that, really makes us very happy

Magnusviri

I can't login either. I've created an account and I've clicked the forgot a password link and changed the password probably a dozen times.

gorkem

@magnusviri If this problem persists, can you contact me and then I can set a password for you, then you can login and reset it?

Magnusviri

Whoops, I was using my email for my username and it wouldn't allow that.

erkin

i might be one of the first testers of gideros which i loved at first sight.
how can i buy a version which has the splash screen?
lol but i am very serious.

atilim

) actually your license type will be more expensive: regular indie license + 2 beers + a pizza ;;)

ar2rsawseen

Another suggestion would be to publish some Gideros graphics, so one could include them in the splash screen together with own logo.

atilim

agree. anybody can grab from here: http://www.giderosmobile.com/press/
