Wow, so many apps you've released, Gekko!

- I've developed and released apps in Tier 1 and Tier 2, but have mostly been doing Tier 1 now.

- AppGameKit BASIC, C++ (Tier 2), PHP and MySQL (for scores etc.)

- XCode, Eclipse, Sublime 2

- Windows 7 x64, Windows 8 x64, Mac OS X 10.8

- 3 via AppGameKit (PC, iOS, Android) and several others using different frameworks

- I only have ads (Admob) in one obscure AppGameKit app that brings in $12-15 a month. Another more popular app I developed before AppGameKit brings in around 100 times that amount per month in ad revenue from the free version (iAds, Admob).

- Nothing major. I developed an online score system, and many color and memblock related functions for image processing (for an app that hasn't been released and may never).

Wow nice, i like you are answering!!!
I hope more of you will join this poll.

This poll, will get some info from most active users, that is better if TGC would consider....
Till this moment, even if we have few answers, you can understand a thing is absolutely useless in AGK.
Guess what is it?
Come on!!

My guess is that xGEKKOx wants to prove that the AdMob-functionality is not widely used and thus should be removed from a special 'light build'. At least, that's what I'm inferring from the posts in this thread. I could be wrong though, but if not, I don't think the current poll is the best way to assess this need. It would have been more efficient to create a poll that said "Do you want AppGameKit to be available without functionality for social networks and advertisements?"

For those interested: There is actually some very good information available about the needs and wants of users and the current usage of AppGameKit V1. Check the survey results in this thread.

hmm social networking is ok but ads arent..
i think the light build shouldnt include any additionals..
but i guess we can all use a social networking build.. so you get only facebook and twitter without all other additionals

I've spent the best part of the last year porting over my DBP Game template and modifying it to be suitable for a mobile platform.
DMGT (Dave's Mobile Game Template, as it's known) is a collection of handy modules which includes stuff like media loading and handling from file lists, enhanced debugging features (log file which can also be echoed to screen, and emailed to me if connected to the net), list handling and CSV commands, Timer based movement stuff, and last but not least the scripting language I use for 2D stuff like UI's, cut scenes and Loading screens (I'm currently working on this bit now)

- @Zerotown :
Well, the AdMob useless is the first point you can understand reading some few polls.
Zerotown, understand it on the fly.
Well i want to understand what the coders do while they are not on the forum, as if they have another job, or do this all day long, etc...

Another reason is that i want enlarge my team to code bigger games.

Please continue to answer, ahh, and if you wanna add an info in your poll, add this :

- Why you use this Tier (the one you had chose)?
- What you expect when you code an app? (success or hobby time lose)

I guess i'll awnser the new questions aswell then

Quote: "- Why you use this Tier (the one you had chose)?"

I started out using T1 when AppGameKit was released and ended up publishing 3 apps using it. But during the development of my last app, I noticed that T1 had some pretty annoying bugs and pretty slow with calculations. After "finishing" the project (i published a pretty bad version of what I wanted) I decided to take the step to C++ and T2. Because of the bugs, the speed and that I wanted to learn c++ eventually I moved on. Now I am not able to go back because I have gotten used to C++ and it's a lot more powerfull.

Quote: "- What you expect when you code an app? (success or hobby time lose)"


I do it for fun but making some money wouldn't hurt if I can get a good idea for an app. I want to work as a programmer when I finish school so I do it for the experience aswell

- Why you use this Tier (the one you had chose)?
I use Tier 1 because I am more fluent in Basic than any other language (I've been coding in Basic since the 80's)

- What you expect when you code an app? (success or hobby time lose)
I'd like success obviously, but I'm not expecting to become the next Rovio overnight. I expect it'll take a few games to be published on various platforms before I start to build up an income.

I was joking with my friend the other day that if I can make more than £300 a month with app's then I would quit the part time evening job I have and concentrate a little harder on writing games.

- Ah, we can add also how old are we?
I'm 38

(Although I should point out it's against the forum policy for minors to reveal their ages on these boards)

Tier 1
php, Photoshop, illustrator, blender, gimp, audacity, fl studio...fraps
Sublime text
Developing in Win7
deploy to Win, android, iOS, Mac
1 app built - deployed on all above
Less than 1,000 downloads and less than $10 in ad revenue since April.
A few parser tools, encryption tools, and such.
I chose t1 because it is very easy to use and supports 99.9% of my requirements.
My goal is to make money and games I will enjoy. The first game release was a proof of my ability to make a game and experiment to see how the process works.
I'm almost finished with the first alpha of my second game and hope to be releasing info on it in a few weeks.
I'm 35

- Why you use this Tier (the one you had chose)?
Like The Zoq2, I initially started in Tier 1 because I misunderstood and thought that Tier 2 wasn't also cross platform with the same code. Then (after getting that misconception corrected) I also ran into bugs (with v1076) when my app got big and used lots of strings and arrays of UDTs. Once I converted to Tier 2 (being very comfortable coding OOP in many languages), I never looked back. I have been able to create many very useful classes (for me, anyway) that will be used across most the the apps I develop.

- What you expect when you code an app? (success or hobby time lose)
I hope to make money selling my apps (as does my husband).

- Ah, we can add also how old are we?
I am 54 (assuming that it is actually August 2013 and I have not been temporally confused {and that is not 'temporarily' misspelled})

haha nice one Zoq2..

28
using Tier 1 after years of using C++ i actually went back a step
i mostly use tier 1 because : BroadCasting Ability...
although as my project continue i will go back to C++ for more power and speed but for now as long as its a steady 60 fps im good.

i started programming at the age of 16 using pascal that was for fun.. so my first game was a horse race with the old dos smiley icons , some of you may not know them.. so the first 2 you can see a white smiley and a black smiley when simply changing the print color you can get them in colors...


from that moment i knew that this is my place .. so it started as a hobby then a few years later i actually developed some nice visual algorithems for mapping 2d and 3d areas and all kind of stuff mostly games or for games.. at this moment im building Nano which is a full Game Engine soon to be revealed.

Right, some additional info then:

I use Tier 1 because I think it is effective, elegant and doesn't require a great learning curve. As I posted before, I code purely as a hobby when I can find some spare time, which is - sadly - not very often (I have a lovely four-month old baby, a bit of a demanding job and a wife that manages to be a combination of those two aspects ).

I have always loved RPG's and am currently programming one. I estimate it will take a long time to finish, but hey... I'm 'enjoying the ride' so far. While I don't aim for success, I do take my stuff seriously, so I eventually hope to produce something that will have enough quality to be truly enjoyed by others. Enough to pay me. A lot.

I'm 36 years old and loved to program as a teenager. I used Turbo Pascal and later Delphi to do so. I might consider Tier 3 someday when it is on par with the latest functionality offered in the beta-releases.

Zerotown - If Erik has the patience I am sure there will be a T3 (Pascal). But it is now approximately 15 months since the last stable AppGameKit release, and it's bad news to produce interfaces to moving beta (alpha) targets. Even TGC struggle to do it!

Well yes i remember that days when i came back from school to turn on my C64 and connect to some BBS.
To download a Samantha Fox image i used all the afternoon ahahahaha at 3200 baud....

i remember my father coding on C64 for educational and office softwares, and i started to code looking him.
As i surpassed him after some weeks at the age of 10, he suggested me to help him, and we released in 1988 a fake Windows 1.0 huahuhuahuahu done in QBasic.
Well it was very similar.

I also released some stupid games, and good softwares for business (taking ideas from c64 sheet calculator like Future Writer, or Lotus 1-2-3 on PC), and we released some software in Italy.
But the piracy cutted me off, and i done it in the spare time till that moment.

Now i want to create something that can change the world...
But to do this, we need money to have much time to realize it.
My idea is too big, and is related on a software that give the possibility to work and get paid on a mmorpg, like it was your life (only in your job).

All the jobs that can be done on internet must be inside this world.
Invest some money, and start to earn and pay the otehrs opening your market...
For example if you do the language translator, you open an office in this game for 1000 Coins and you can start to get jobs to do....

And go on....

I'm developing on a Mac.. 'nuff said. I am comfortable in C++, but I really would like to try Tier 1 to focus on the actual gameplay programming, rather than trying to take advantage of using Tier 2!

I'm programming games as a hobby. It's something I used to do when I was much younger, but I have just recently gotten back into it.

I will be publishing to iOS, and already have an iPhone4s for testing. I will be getting an iPad soon as well.

My main problem is that I don't have access to a Mac for publishing (Well, my Uncle said I could use his, but he lives quite far away and the process seems to involved to be done in a flying visit) and I don't have the money for an iOS dev licence right now.

Android is just easier for me but once I have finished and published some droid stuff I will concentrate more on the iOS market.

I think to have already written a lot of infos in many other posts. So a little recap:
T1
AGK/GIMP/Paint for programming the game, PHP/MySQL for web scoreboard, some tools for audio
Code:Blocks
Windows XP/7 and Android
8 games published in AppGameKit (+ 2 in non-AGK tool), 1 free with ads, 7 paid with some free limited versions
Earn with ads: 0 with Inneractive. Inneractive seems very bad...
But a little money earnt from app sales (very little 2-3€/month)
rather than functions, I would like a stable compiler, with more object oriented features and less bugs. I still have crashes when playing music on Android. 3D for me is little use.

@xGEKKOx
yes of course, I have a full-time job in the telco industry that pays for my living (and my family too, luckily my wife has a full-time job too). In my profession I sometimes use scripting languages as Perl, Ruby or shell script on Linux systems in order to make automatic some administration tasks on the network platforms I am in charge of.
But I have started programming as an hobby in the far 1983 using a TI99/4A.

Do you live in Italy or you ran away from our "shame" country (as i want to do it very soon)?
I have serious intentions to move in UK, as here the tax reached 68% and the life is not comparable to them.

OMG, you are telling me 68% of everything you earn you have to give to the government? I thought taxes in Croatia were high

@xGEKKOx unfortunately I live in Italy, but I have a family (with sons), a stable job, my family and my wife's family, ecc ecc.
If your family burden is lighter, or you can move everybody abroad without problmens, do it now. Consider not only UK, but also France, Netherlands, Ireland, Belgium, Germany, and even Croatia or Slovenia.

@Brendy boy
The problem is not that we pay a lot of taxes, but the services that the government gives back to the citizens are very poors. Public transportation, hospitals, garbage management, help to young mothers and families with many sons/daughters, unemployed people remain unemployed, small/medium enterprises are left alone and pay too many taxes on thw workers etc etc.
In Sweden, Germany and I think in Croatia too, what you pay is transformed in goods and services.
On the other side, many Italian people do not pay taxes at all or pay very little, and they are not punished. Do not be scared, consider that Mr Berlusconi, the leader of one of the main parties that are governing us, has been condemned for tax evasion.

@Marco
Yes of course i agree totally!!!!
I'm not married yet, but i want to do it soon to have some babies, and i know here is impossible.

@Brendy
Yes Brendy, here is a shame. Think that in my city, now is since 10 years that the streets get no new asphalt. The road are full of holes, and i changed my car shocks already 4 times in 2 years.
In Italy you pay for all, we miss only the air tax...

In 2007 i opened an Hardware Shop, and also if i sold 1000 pc (high levels) in the first year, i closed after 2 years. Garbage, power supply, phone, burocracy, internet, banks, tax.... is impossible ahuahua.
I think they will remain alone (politicians) or they will get a big hit that they will remember it for all they life long.


Long life to Steve!

this is a box that will point the goverment wherever you are and you will have to pay for the miles\kilometers you drive.. like what the hell? not only that one liter of fuel in israel is 2 dollars WTF?!?!?! now they want to charge us for every kilometer we are driving... so the tax is 17 % but everything is priced out ..

Wow, 68% taxes sounds realy bad!

Quote: "In Sweden, Germany and I think in Croatia too, what you pay is transformed in goods and services."

That's true in sweden atleast, we have pretty great social services. I don't think we pay nearly as much tax as you though. I believe we pay about 25-30% of our income in taxes, then we also pay 25% of everything we buy as "VAT". In the end it does not come near 68%
