I've been waiting on GM to reply too, but to a different message.
I asked if AM development was still moving forward, and whether the HTML output would support more features any time soon.
What is going on? Why is GM so unresponsive? Is GM-Support working, busy preparing a new AM version, or is he just losing interest in AM and no longer paying attention to what is going on?
Has GM-Support perhaps switched to a new email address and thus lost track of our messages? I really want to believe that GM is simply very busy working on the next version of AM... and that this is the reason responses have been so scarce. But I'm getting a bit worried.
BTW, if GM will respond to our messages and confirm that AM is still in development, I will seriously consider upgrading my copy of AM.
However, I really don't want to spend more money on AM if development of the software has stalled... if that's the case I might as well focus all my energy on other toolsets such as Construct 2 or Gamesalad or Game Maker: Studio.
AM needs to move forward and support more than just Windows; the HTML output was a step in the right direction but more is needed for AM to compete.
There are over 700 million mobile devices (phones and tablets) in use worldwide running iOS or Android. There are also over 100 million Mac OS X systems in use. If AM can get better-developed HTML5 export working, one that supports most or all of the functions in the Windows version, it'd open up [good] AM games to a much larger audience than the current Windows crowd.
