With the V2 targets almost complete it's that time again. Congrats to TGC on reaching another milestone and for their hard work.

As far as I'm concerned for what I do, AppGameKit is pretty much feature complete so I appreciate others may have more pressing needs than me but....

One thing not mentioned in the survey that should be of utmost importance IMO is the updating of templates and the ease of publishing to some platforms.

It is essential time is put aside to ensure the templates work and are updated ASAP when something changes (eg. when a third part SDK changes or when the App Store changes their requirements.) Without working templates work elsewhere is pointless.

Additionally anything that can be done to ease or automate any part of the publishing process would be appreciated. This often relies on other editors/software that most of us are unfamiliar with making it very difficult to fix problems, especially when the written guides aren't up to date.

Thanks.

+1 to this, for example publishing to Mac should be done through the editor instead of having to use a template in Xcode.

I was glad to see the possibility of the Tiled editor, native commands to read these maps in and scroll around would be good. All features of the tiled software would be good to be implemented and not just some features.
The Amiga and Amos were great!

Another big feature is the addition of an HTML5 / web target. AppGameKit needs this to be a competitive game development tool in the future. (Most of AGK's competitors already have this target.)

I would guess that a goodly portion of AppGameKit developers are making "smaller" games that would work well for the web...

There are too many good & FREE html5 game making systems these days, I think AppGameKit should better try support platforms where the C++ code can work without too much modifications. In that regards HTML5 would be hard to do.

More advertiser options. Maybe https://www.applovin.com - I have friends in the industry making good money with this one at the moment.
Better HTTP commands so it's easier to use REST API's.
Better Facebook implementation + allow us access to the token for user login when using PARSE or other cloud platforms.
HTML5 + facebook IAP implementation
Amazon IAP implementation
Finish off the Spriter implementation so that it uses atlas textures (not sure why this was never done)

Yeah, AGK2 has come far now and the survey is filled with some really delicious features. Been looking forward to this for quite some time now.

If I could get HTML5 support within the next 2-3 months I would absolutely love it. And don't really care much about what else gets added.

I'd like to see passing functions as parameters in function calls like it is done in JavaScript.

HTML5 + texture filtering functions to help with the skybox issues I've been having.

@MObiius : For texture filtering, I guess you have tred SetGenerateMipmaps() or SetImageMagFilter(), SetImageMinFilter() for image ?

Yes, and they don't fix this issue. (I have fixed this issue by using a skybox, and not a sky-bunch-of-planes-arranged-in-a-box.)
