Well, it's certainly good to see good progress, ze?

Now, if only I could have this sort of good news with my own games *laughs*

[faissialoo]

but if studio is not too high(not over £30) then i might get it

Expect it to be in the 200-300's.

that is way out of my price range,

The reaction to this price change was mostly positive, sales have actually increased, not just in total revenue but unit sales have increased by about 50% since we increased the price!

people want to get it before it is too high

also gm html5 (as said below) is too much, it is better to learn html 5 than pay £100(compared to like £20 for lessons) so, yeah

Since GM HTML5 is $200, I'd put studio substantially higher.

[Robert3DG+]

Hopefully that's not the case (At least as far as substantially is used) and they're just banking on people seeing HTML being worth that.


Of course there's still no damn word on whether studio will have HTML5 export.

Yes, studio will also include HTML5.

In the PocketGamer interview here it sounds like GameMaker Studio would also contain HTML 5 support.

In turn, sometime in early 2012, there will be an even more capable version called GameMaker Studio that will complete the circle, combining HTML5 support with iOS, Android, Symbian, PC and Mac.

Could someone from YoYo Games clarify that for me? Will GameMaker Studio include HTML5 support? I just want to know what product(s) I need to buy later on

[Robert3DG+]

Yay, information straight from Yoyo member!

Oh man, GM Studios price is really up in the air now.

$500-$600 is what I am thinking.

Two questions come to mind for me.

1.) If we buy HTML5, will we get a discounted price on Studio when it's released?

2.) Will Studio give developers access to all of the phone's functions? Such as the microphone, Wi-Fi, GPS and the likes?

[redspark]

Thank you for the update. I'm very eager to see a complete list of Studio features. Perhaps more videos or presentations of how the new features will work. I like this concept for supporting multiple platforms much better than the current one. Studio will definitely be on my wishlist -- if not in my shopping cart the moment it is released. Thanks again.

I see no reason for this.. specially thinking that HTML5 buyers dont get a discount if they bought 8.1 before..

2.) Will Studio give developers access to all of the phone's functions? Such as the microphone, Wi-Fi, GPS and the likes?

I dont think so, YYG never said anything about this and i doubt they are allowed to do it anyway.

Not a good comparison.

And they are already offering a discount that goes well beyond the potential 25/40 dollars people paid for their GM8. They are offering $100 off, thats the incentive. Adding an extra $10-$15 for some purchasers won't increase purchases at all.

An incentive for those who spent $100-$200 on GM:HTML5 is much more important. But this is dependant on how long it takes for Studio to be released after the release of GM:HTML5.

Personally I think that GM:HTML5 will end up as just an interum product. Available only until the release of Studio. After then, it will just be gobbled up into Studio.

Which is exactly why I asked.

They are allowed to access those things, but I'm not sure how much device library support they've added (or will be adding).

[RekNepZ]

Guys, don't get your hopes up on the timing thing. I can't say Sandy is the best at predicting when things will be released.

They don't want to disappoint us, so they wont promise you anything that has even the slightest chance of not going ahead.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight. Do you know how hateful this community is? Anything they do will disappoint some of us, and they know it.

Sad, but true.

- if they miss a due date, members bash them for not running their business right.

- when they deliver on time, members bash them for releasing too soon, and not having enough new features.

But like you say, YoYo has figured this out, and they don't take the GMC seriously. (The one exception is Mike/Russell in the GM 8.1 forum. They request our comments, and pay attention to ones that make sense.)

[Cakefish]

Just to clarify is HTML5 £63? US$99 = £63 right?

[makerofthegames]

99 US dollars = 62.6979 British pounds sterling
99 US dollars = 71.7703 euros
99 US dollars = 96.9903 Canadian dollars
99 US dollars = 1287.9207 Mexican pesos

There; now you know a lot more than you asked and I look like I have a lot of time on my hands.
