Hi,

We have opened up pre-ordering for AGK. So if you're keen to be first in line before the release date of 15th August it's time to pre-order.

updates

I missed this bit before; but it looks like TGC are taking an unwelcome departure from their previous "all updates are free" stance they followed for their other products...It's a bit disappointing; but I suppose not all that surprising as that's the common model nowadays...

Just when I thought my morning was going to just be another crappy Monday boom, this came out. I guess I'm a little sad that I can't publish Tier 1 on my own but can only do that through Tier 2. Guess I need to bring my C++ Skills up to speed come August.
Placing order at Noon.

A little later than some. Two(2) hours behind server time, but my order is in.

Very good news. Just a couple of things..

Free bug fixes and any minor updates

In the business model mentioned earlier, a purchase would buy a years worth of updates. Does this mean that we now get bug fixes and minor updates indefinitely but have to pay for all major ones? I have to say I think that makes a lot more sense if that is right. The first model would encourage TGC to wait a year before including new platforms!

I guess I'm a little sad that I can't publish Tier 1 on my own

I'd like some clarity on this (sorry if I've missed something) but is this actually true? I gather that you still need a Mac to publish to the Apple App store so if you don't have one, that would be one less platform you can publish to yourself. However I've not seen anything that says you can't publish your tier one games to stores. I thought that tier one bundled the player up with the app so that you could publish it by yourself.

Thanks.

I would have liked to see a "12 months of updates" model. I think charging for major updates is super lame tbh. I guess I'll wait for phase 2 since web programming is important to me.

do you gain something by preordering? Like do you get it cheaper/ earlier?
