I love Gideros Mobile.

There I said it.

And not just because it's free.

It actually solves several pains for me. I am an Android Developer by profession and always wanted to make games, but between the long hours at the job and family life, it's really tough to get anything else done. I never thought Game Development could be so easy.

In coming months, I am going to release a few apps made with Gideros. You have my respect as a Developer and my money as a User. Eagerly waiting for you to release the indie license.

Hi Adnaan, glad to see you again here. I was hoping to get in touch with all early adopters, one of them being you. Thanks for showing up again. >:D<

Hi, sorry for hijacking, Adnaan. Your post made me realise - you can't actually buy the indie license yet? When will that be happening? I wouldn't want to release an app with a Gideros splash screen, I want to give you guys some money. In fact I was going to decide in the next week whether to go with Gideros and was going to pay up then!

When will you be able to buy the indie license?

You won't have Gideros Splash screen
Right now it's free, paid version is on the roadmap
Right now you can set your own splash screen

Oh wow, that's incredible. I'd still like to know when I can give them money, however

@moopf - sorry to disturb your communication with Adnaan - we'll be announcing our final release (2012.2) in Hamburg, Germany during the Casual Connect conference (http://europe.casualconnect.org). You'll have the opportunity to buy the indie or enterprise license.

Atilim is packaging the final release, and we are testing the end-to-end purchase flow. There are some time-wasting things to be done around, like improving the Reference Guide, adding the missing functions to the autocompleting list, adding some templates and examples, updating the product roadmap (http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Product_Roadmap), release notes (http://giderosmobile.com/DevCenter/index.php/Gideros_Studio_2012.2_Release_Notes), and press release.

Thanks for your interest and your support towards making Gideros Studio the most user-friendly mobile development environment.

@ar2rsawseen true - for beta8, you don't have to put a splash screen. In fact, developers are all pushing Gideros Studio here in all the way they can, so we do not bother to force them to implement a splash screen at all with games developed using our betas. :-)

@Gorkem, I was never gone . Though I get very little time to do game development. But, recently I decided to get into Game Dev full-time, so expect me to be here regularly .

Thanks for taking a keen interest.
