New Gideros Website

ar2rsawseen

This could go to both status update and website features, but I'll post it here for now.

We are announcing Gideros Labs:

@ar2rsawseen Ok so now as a Free Member may I use Facebook plugin for my next game without violation of license? Facebook Plugin for Android is available at github now, but I can't download it of course from official Gideros web site... :-S

atilim

@fxone yes. For the future plugins, the upgraded members will have early access. And after some time, these plugins will also be available to free users.

fxone

@Atilim Thanks for an answer!
@ar2rsawseen google licensing :-O in beta... This is it!

gianmichele

Well done guys!!!

hgvyas123

excellent love the idea

Nascode

Great idea!

@ar2rasawseen @atilim Love the Gideros Labs idea and it's good to see that those that have made a purchase commitment are now being given early access. I personally feel that every Gideros release should initially be made available, even in beta form, to paid users ahead of public release. At present there's not enough to really differentiate between what you get if you pay and what you get for free - broadly speaking that isn't really sustainable (been there, done that!)

SinisterSoft

Early access for paid is a good idea. Corona did it and that's why I paid (until I found Gideros!).

gianmichele

Yup, agree with it.

One thing that I was quite impressed with how Loom Engine is handling request, is that paying customers can vote or propose things to be implemented in the engine. The one with more request they get done.

One of the major votes was shift the scripting API away from the cocos2d paradigm and to the easier and more known Starling.

OZApps

Paid or Free, the Labs idea is amazing and am sure that will help shape the future of Gideros.

OZApps

and just another question, are the projects on Labs view only? or do the buttons to try/download show up if one was a subscriber?

hgvyas123

@ozapps, @ar2rsawseen

i can see the download button in labs however the links are appears to be broken

ArtLeeApps

I like the Labs too, you can see what you can use in one place.

ar2rsawseen

@fxone sure you can and all existing plugins that were already announced will still be available in repositories and will be maintained and updated as it was before.

@OZApps if you are an upgraded member you should see the download button (if you are logged in of course)

@hgvyas123 are you sure that you are still logged in? Maybe you left page open for some time and session expired?
If the problem still persists, pm me and we will try to solve it

ar2rsawseen

And of course any further suggestions are welcomed, how to improve Gideros Labs, which information to show, etc

@ar2sawseen
I am very happy to see how things are evolving.

hgvyas123

@ar2rsawseen

tried this again just after logging and yup link is broken sending you the link via pm

mysps

nice! @ar2rsawseen

thanks

paul_k_clark

Excellent. I like the way this works in parallel to the release schedule.

SinisterSoft

@ar2rsawseen It's happening again, tried both IE and Chrome...

"You must be logged in and upgraded to see this file"

(tried normal and incognito modes)

ar2rsawseen

So for you it sometimes works and sometimes not?

Ok, I will think something for it, mean while if you want to access anything and can't do that, you can also ping me and I'll email you anything you need

ar2rsawseen

Basically you see download button but can not download the file, right?

For now I've decided to redirect logged out users to login page, to prevent browser from caching the response, hopefully that will fix it

SinisterSoft

I was logged in, then I clicked on the download, it went to the log in again, I logged in, then went to the labs again, it then downloaded.

ar2rsawseen

@SinisterSoft awesome, now I almost know what is the problem
I'll experiment more hopefully tomorrow

keszegh

doesn't "Some of Gideros Benefits" on the main page sound strange?
i would say
Some of Gideros's Benefits
or
Some of the Benefits of Gideros
or
Some Benefits of Gideros
or
Main Benefits of Gideros
or
Main Benefits of Using Gideros
or
Main Benefits of Working with Gideros
or whatever else

perhaps some native english speakers can judge this better though.

ar2rsawseen

@keszegh fixed

ar2rsawseen

And I also added a new section FAQ:
http://members.giderosmobile.com/knowledgebase.php

If there is anything else you think needs to be added there, let me know

fxone

Hi Guys @Ar2rsawseen and @Atilim! I provide my developer profile url address based on your generosity: http://www.giderosmobile.com/profiles/my-name-is-originality as url for customer support at several stores. Could you please consider to add for developer profile also subfolders like 'Privacy Policy' and 'Terms of Use' with self-editing possibilities as well? For example:
http://www.giderosmobile.com/apps/my-name-is-originality/privacy_policy
http://www.giderosmobile.com/apps/my-name-is-originality/terms_of_use
I think that these two types are obligatory, when you would like to provide full functionality substitute of sites for indie developers, as you've done it so well nowadays I hope it wouldn't be so time (and assets) consuming
Btw where the emails from developer site/profile are going? I sent yesterday one to test it and I've not received yet this one.
Best,

ar2rsawseen

@fxone ok I'll see what could be done for policy and terms, noted and added to todo list as well as testing contact form
