OK, fellas (and fellassies?) help me make sure that I do understand this correctly.

GM:HTML5 as is it right now, at $99 is GM:S + the HTML5 module, right?

So in a few hours/days/err/errrrrrr the pricing will be:

GM:S = $99

and then EACH module for GM:S ( HTML5/Android/iOs/[future module] ) will be $200 EACH, right?

I will not be able to afford the special deal until the end of this month. And it seems like the special might be done and over with by then ... ARGH!

So, I best go sell my copy of Mire Mare for the Speccy so I can take advantage of the $99(i.e. GM:S = HTML5) special going on right now.

Today we are officially closing the GameMaker: Studio beta.

What does this mean precisely?
Does it mean GM:Studio is finished and ready for release?
Does it mean release is imminent?
Does it mean no more new bugs are considered before release?
Does it mean the beta will expire soon?
Does it mean the GM:HTML5 to Studio deal has ended?

Anyhow, I hope once released, the money will start rolling your way. You've been quite generous with the upgrade deal and I hope it doesn't turn out to be too generous.

Sweet. I have my money ready to purchase every export.

I'd like some clarification on this as well:

If I purchase a copy of Game Maker HTML5 now, will I receive a full version of GM:S WITH the HTML5 export option when it becomes available?

I'm assuming YES, until GM:S comes out, then i think each module is $150? I'm not sure but that's basically how it works. The offer lasts until GM:S comes out.

Each module is $200.

Cool! I will only be needing the Windows version :D

[stoneyftw]

I'm practically drooling at the idea of compiling to ioS. ... SO EXCITED FOR THIS RELEASE!

On the note of the people above me, how do we do the html5 upgrade thing? Was it in an email? I hunted all over the yoyogames website but couldn't find anything, I googled it, got nothing. Where do we go to get an upgrade code if you can still upgrade?

[alexandervrs]

Great work, I don't think there are many more bugs to squash after those in the database are taken care of, Studio looks like its pretty ready to make its appearance known! :D

That information will be released when the appropriate time comes.

It was a pleasure helping with bug reports -- albethey small ones. Participating in the Studio beta project was great fun. And it's very satisfying to see the final release in sight.

[MasterOfKings]

It's interesting that it'll cost $200 for something that's theoretically free (in reference to iOS and Android).

Care to share what GM:S has to offer over XCODE + SDK, and Eclipse + SDK?
I'm assuming rapid development is the best benefit?

Plus, if you pay the $200 for the exporter, does that include the cost of becoming a developer for the platform? Or is that extra?

I think this is a buisness trick to get people to buy HTML5 right now. Nothing wrong with it I guess.... just a little jerky in my opinion.

Wait... Reminding people to buy a 99$ product which will save them 200$ as they get a free upgrade to a superior product when it is released is jerky? You live in a strange world my friend...
