Hello guys, I love GM and use it since 2005. Recently I found out that it can be a great tool to develop a desktop app ( and possibly even mobile and web apps ). However, there is one painful thing when you try to make apps by using GM: User interface. I mean , text inputs ( with selecting©ing&pasting) , scrollable areas, forms, charts etc.
I know that there are some assets that cover it, but usually they have some smaller or bigger bugs, and each of them is written in a different style so it is not very comfortable to create some sensible UI system with different assets. If only we had some basic and consistent in-built scripts/functions dedicated to UI.
I know guys, that now you are rather focused on some other big changes for 2019, but please consider this idea. I see the tendency that GM Studio is becoming a tool for professionals ( in the past it was almost only for hobbits), it is a great direction, and believe me, there is a plenty of money to earn if you would make only some small changes and add new in-built functions.
My job position is not a programmer, although I used GMS a few times at my work to make some small , helpful apps. If GM had these functions to create app UI easier, I would use GM at my work even more often, and maybe even do some freelance work and earn some money on the side. The more money I would earn with GM, the more money I would be willing to spend for new modules.
And you don’t need to change much, because as I mentioned, GM at this point is good enough to create some basic apps. By the small changes , you can attract the big pond of new customers, who are rather into creating apps, not games. Please consider this idea.
Keep the good work and very kind regards to you.
