Hello, Hopefully I don't get flamed to death but I wanted to drop in a note about it to the users and developers here. Clickteam is the developers of a commercial product (Multimedia Fusion 2) for developing games and applications. We recently released our iOS export module for the product. It was exciting to see one of our users already has a game up on touchArcades review -- http://toucharcade.com/2011/08/09/megacity-hd-review/ For more information about the program please visit: http://www.clickteam.com/website/usa/ios-development.html To see the list of games on the iTunes system the ones I know about are here: http://www.clickteam.com/epicenter/ubbthreads.php?ubb=postlist&Board=134&page=1 Is this the final solution for hard core coders? No not really, but its a great option for people who might not be into as much coding, but have a lot of ideas for apps. You still have to work hard on your creations and develop the logic to make them operate correctly. You just don't have to struggle with the object C. Sorry if this post offends anyone .. Didn't mean it to be spam advertising. Just excited to see our product getting used. Costs: Multimedia Fusion 2 Standard -- about $129 Can create EXE and some Java variants iOS Export Module -- About $129 Flash Export Module -- About $69 Later this year: Android Export Module XNA Export Module Native MAC Export Module The actual development side requires Windows or emulating Windows on the MAC. To do for version 3 is a MAC authoring side. Thanks, Jeff
That is pretty awesome. I used to be an avid user of MMF, and I bought MMF2 but never got into it. It's good to see now there is an iOS exporter. Definitely worth checking out if someone is looking to make 2D games without much programming knowledge.
I don't think we will have a native MAC programming side until version 3 is completed. (year to year 1/2) We have had a number of people running it under windows emulators on the MAC so at least that's an option.
Interview We had an interview about using Multimedia Fusion and the iOS and some stories from one of the game studios that uses it. http://ifanzine.com/gamesare-studios-interview-the-multimedia-fusion-2-ios-exporter
Just as a side note: One of our XNA Export Module beta testers sent a game onto the Xbox marketplace. http://marketplace.xbox.com/en-US/Product/Zombie-Racers/66acd000-77fe-1000-9115-d80258550949 So in the future an iOS developer could develop the base game once -- adjust the controls and recompile it for xbox or any device that can run XNA without having to reprogram the game. Should save some people a bit of work We are hoping for an update to the iOS Export Module in the next month and then a release candidate for the XNA Export Module in the next 2 months.
