    Was doing a little research and look what I've stumbled on. A post that was done just a little less than 3 years ago

    http://forums.coronalabs.com/topic/9780-yet-another-lua-2d-game-engine-gideros/

    Lots and lots of familiar faces :)

      yep, in for the long haul...

      I was in touch with Gorkem and this was our first correspondence (in July 2011)

      Gideros Mobile is neither open source nor free (software). We currently let developers use Gideros Studio unlimited provided that we put a splash screen for advertisement purposes. This includes using the full Gideros Studio set (including texture packer, font creator, IDE, SDK and Player).

      Serious developers who are not comfortable with this option can pay, so they won't see any limits, splash screens, etc. On the other hand, Gideros Studio currently is unlimited for everyone who want to dive into effortless game and application development, and we are planning to provide this free, unlimited version for some time for developers to get used to it.

      Please do not hesitate to ask questions or send recommendations for our roadmap - we'd always be glad to hear from you.

      PS: We are about to upload more examples to our server very soon, and our Android port is almost there :)

      Yes, these were the days. A lot has happen. But Gideros still looks the same since back then.

      @Mike, yes, you can say that about those days, since then you are an author, I am an author and @ar2rsawseen is an author. Albert of Karnak Games who was supposed to be the first author of a Lua framework book (for his own reasons did not carry through and someone else became the chosen author - thrust on them) and now will have a second book to their name.

      The community has grown, advanced, we had some cool breakthroughs, WAX, Plug-ins they opened doors for Gideros and sped up things, but yes, you are correct there are spurts of activity, we jump/move forward and then stay still for a while, but we are still progressing.

      Those days seem like yesterday, how time flies like arrow and

      fruit flies like banana ;)
