Thanks for the comments guys - we love feedback, even if it's just to make the product better.
@Thraxas - No downloadable trial or demo at the moment, but we're working on it

We're adding artwork updates every 2 weeks. Automatic update facility is on the list at some point, which will save you having to install a new version each time new artwork is ready.
We're concentrating mainly on artwork updates at this time, which will be free and ongoing for as long as there is demand for this product, and fix any bugs that may crop up. New Features updates will be added every 1-2 months, and we have quite a few on our list!
Alternate state images.. would be created (for example) by adding a button on the workspace (stage), export it to PNG, then add an effect such as a bevel, or colour change, then save that as a second PNG. The states would need to be animated in code. We do have an animation tool on the list, so you could have an animated gif created, and I don't know too much about the game engine products here, but I'm guessing that you could have a play sequence (stop, play, or even a button state) in code? This feature is away down the list of possible updates. I don't really like promising updates that we cannot deliver, so for now I'll just say that we're thinking about it, as a possible addition. Importing your own artwork libraries is also on the list of updates. Originally we were going to create two versions (Creator and Designer) one with basic functionality and the other with all the bells and whistles, but we've decided to throw every update/feature we add in the Creator version for the same price.
First, we'll look at the co-ordinates, and the ability to add text (using system fonts) - always make sure you use commercial fonts that are licenced for game use - when releasing a game
We do have a few BETA testers already, but always on the lookout for more, so we'll let you know
