After this, you will receive an e-mail asking you to activate your account. Once you
do, boom! You're done! That was super easy.
Why do I need an account?
Good question! An account is required for publishing, but you also get great benefits
such as:
•
Access to the GameSalad forums
•
The ability to view your portfolio (all the games you've uploaded are stored
on the site so you can edit them at any time)
•
Purchase graphics, audio, and templates from the GameSalad Marketplace
for use in your game
•
Go Pro!
Now, let's install GameSalad. This is pretty standard stuff, but if you don't know
how, let me walk you through it.
Mac installation
Locate the GameSalad installation file (normally downloaded in your
Downloads
folder) and open it. Agree to all EULAs (End User Licence Agreements). The
installation will now show up. If it doesn't, go to your desktop and locate the
GameSalad Creator DMG that was just mounted and simply click-and-drag the
GameSalad
icon into the
Applications
shortcut, as shown in the following screenshot:
