Omg - Will You Laugh Or Will You Cry - Omg - Come On Corona - Throw Us A Bone Please

Solar2D General Questions/Discussion
#1

First of all I Love Corona and the Community everyone is great!!

Corona is creating different cool items like the Cloud stuff - very cool and very useful - 10,000,000 Thumbs up!!! for these new features I’ll be adding to my next game I hope.

So how about Corona take a break and improve on the MOST NEEDED FEATURE IN THE SYSTEM.

GREAT AD SYSTEM… What you have now is not what we need.

I mean come on - Corona even publishes a blog entry about FREMIUM - BLOWING AWAY PAID apps talk about ads and then well falls on its face after that.

Ok so everyone knows we have all been having issues with ad networks and Really wish to have some decent implementations for ads for non-enterprise users like us to use Chartboost, Vungle, Heyzap, PlayHaven, Tapfortap, etc. sooner than later

So here is the FUNNY OR SAD PART!!!

I was searching for details on chart boost and other ad systems when I find a little Blog entry for another “LUA” game system they talk about Adding CHARTBOOST to their system - They Reference Corona Enterprise Library docs and how to accomplish this!

They say how great the Docs are and will get this going.

WHAM BAM - they turn around and create a plugin for their LUA Gaming system for ChartBoost - OMG - What the Heck.

Um Corona If they can do it so fast for their users - using your documentation - can you answer why you can’t?

Hey I’m just pointing this out and Asking the Question

I’m not from CoronaLabs so I can officially comment but I think that’s the whole purpose of project Glueon.

3rd party vendors like the ones you just mentioned could with such a system in place write their own plugins and enable you to use their platforms from Corona SDK (not enterprise).

The fact that such a vendor was able to write a plugin for enterprise so fast is not so relevant. I’m sure CoronaLabs are working hard developing other things which you may find less important but they cannot please every single user out there…

On top of that don’t forget that once a module is developed there is maintenance and I don’t think they are ready for that… 

I think the idea that plugins could be written by 3rd party companies and CoronaLabs concentrating on the core features is a great approach.

PS, using less colors and less caps would be nice next time :slight_smile:

Which system has it been developed for? If it is in Lua, there is no reason it cannot be ported easily - and if it is in Lua I don’t really see the need for Corona to get involved. They need to get involved with AdMob + the major ones who won’t accepted alternative code.

I’m guessing it’s Moai or Gideros?

@gtt - My point is this, if they can do in in a month with using corona’s own documentation then come on… Shouldn’t we - The supports of the BEST
SDK for gaming get a better ad system from Corona.

I really hope the project Glueon gives a nice bump the the Plug-ins That would be Wonderful!!

@chrisevans1001

The plugin was created in Java for Android I am guessing to be compiled into the Gideros SDK much like Corona would do, then they created a wrapper for LUA

Here is the Java Code Link

Ah, my apologies I misunderstood. I assumed you meant it had been written in Lua. It does seem a shame Corona restricts this option to Enterprise users when Gideros is offering it for their very insignificant amount.

@Chris jousting for a job at corona? Or a just a fanboy? If jousting, I encourage you as the current “forum extraordinaire superstar ninjas” suck.

:rolleyes:

Now now, now name calling. I’m just point out the obvious I guess and not trying to stir up trouble but just trying to stir up some Really Good Ad support.

Especially since i am part of a new Gamers Group in my area and have been asked to show some of the software and tools I use.

But they were already talking about Ad’s in apps - so I am not sure exactly what to say - yeah they support ads - um well kind of yes kind of no.

If these guys can do it, so can CoronaLabs I suppose.
