GameMaker Studio’s Upcoming Module – Tizen

by **Pinneaple Studios** Thu 16 May 2013, 17:02

A new module for GameMaker Studio has been announced. GameMaker Studio: Tizen
will be entering beta sometime between the 22nd and 24th of May, and
will be available for free to everyone who has purchased GameMaker
Studio: Professional or GameMaker Studio: Master. However, once the beta
ends, GameMaker Studio: Professional users will be required to purchase
the module if they wish to continue using it.

Tizen is a Linux-based
operating system which is backed by Intel and Samsung amongst others,
and is seen as a way to cut industry ties with Google’s popular mobile
operating system Android. However, the platform is still in its infancy and is not yet a prominent force within the mobile markets.

From the official Tizen website:

“Tizen is an open source, standards-based software platform supported
by leading mobile operators, device manufacturers, and silicon
suppliers for multiple device categories such as smartphones, tablets,
netbooks, in-vehicle infotainment devices, and smart TVs. Tizen offers
an innovative operating system, applications, and a user experience that
consumers can take from device to device.”

It’s unlikely that GameMaker Studio users will show significant
interest in this platform until it is more established. Since Tizen
heavily embraces HTML5 technology, developers may be tempted to simply purchase GameMaker Studio’s HTML5 module instead. Many GameMaker Studio users are already making money with HTML5, a platform which is proving itself to be both commercially viable and suitably capable.

dalam konteks GM Studio, seperti yang ditulis diatas kev, developer bakal lebih milih beli modul GM-HTML5 yang bisa ke semua platform ketimbang beli modul Tizen yang juga make HTML5 (dan hanya bisa untuk platform Tizen). Kecuali platform Tizen punya keunggulan lain, di performa misalnya... yang aku rasa meragukan karena spek HTML5 sendiri belum selesai. Mending milih HTML5 aja.
