Congratulations on your launch. As for other plugins,
my #1 would probably a mapping plugin which offers more native features compared to the Corona SDK built-in mapView object. Not sure if Corona Labs will ever add features like buttons inside marker bubbles etc so this would be a great add-on for me but I can see how you may not want to invest time into this on off chance that Corona eventually decide to improve their current mapView implementation.
my #2 is a Barcoding plugin. I bet this would sell well too as it has been requested a lot over the years on these forums.
I’m sure I’ll have more along the way. Thank you very much for considering these requests.
For #2 that is certainly something we have already considered. We have a few ideas in the pipeline, but naturally we don’t want to spend time making something that only a handful of people may want. So hopefully this thread continues to grow and give us some better data to work off.
Of course. Some things that require digging into Corona’s OpenGL system probably aren’t possible as those methods are not exposed to us, however your suggestions are probably do-able :) We would have to look into those in more detail before confirming however.
@samwit, the only thing we have against this is that it opens up a can of worms for people abusing our system.
There is always someone who will try to circumvent the system and having an unlimited option would just make it too easy. (This is not aimed at you in any way, shape or form)
So with that in mind, our answer is no for the time being. Can you see yourself implementing one of our plugins in more than 10 apps in a year?
Of course you could by two 10 app limit licenses to give you 20 slots.
Personal opinion, rather than an unlimited plugin with a much higher price, I’d like to use the 10 apps at $xx model. As @Gremlin is alluding to above, if I publish more than 10 apps using a given plugin in a year, chances are, I can afford to buy another license for it.
Our company would go along with the request express by @Ksan (…my #1 would probably a mapping plugin which offers more native features compared to the Corona SDK built-in mapView object. )
If we could work with you guys on defining the functionality we would need it would be awesome. Maybe you could also based on our request come with a price and we could see here, who would be ready to pay for it. We would for sure.
+1 for social plug in. Something that would allow inviting FB friends, show their pictures and their score in the game (a la Candy Crunch for instance) Anything that would make social easier to implement than now. I am using native social just to share a score/image because it is very easy to implement. The others features of FB are more difficult.
+1 barcode
+1 A plug in to allow video screen capture! (imagine AR app and being able to video capture the screen)
TeamPlay makes your game or gamified app more valuable by allowing your players to play for the teams they care about. They engage more, invite more, play longer and drive higher value. Best of all - it’s totally free and a snip to integrate.
I’m assuming HTML5-based games could use the Leap Motion, but maybe that’s an erroneous assumption. (I don’t think we’ll see native desktop builds in my lifetime – I think CL will say “just build as HTML5 and it will run on the desktop.”)
Heck yeah, I JUST ran into that issue today! Stupid AddressBook, mocking me. In its finery. I’d love to be able to select multiple contacts with checkboxes, and then return all selected contacts as a table!!
If you see the blog post corona put out it will make sense
Unfortunately we can’t add onto or improve existing Corona plugins. Your request for instance while perfectly valid, would require us to write our own address-book plugin from scratch.
That wouldn’t be the end of the world, if that was the only feature you wanted, but i think that this is something which would be better integrated into Corona’s address-book plugin.
