GameSalad Plans New Game Publishing Service

Austin-based GameSalad, which develops software to easily create iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch games, said today that it has released a new product and publishing service. GameSalad said it has created GameSalad Studio, which includes it free GameSalad Creator game creation software, GameSalad Viewer, a new Apple iOS application for game testing, and a new game publishing service, GameSalad Direct. GameSalad said its new GameSalad Direct service allows users to publish their games under a single, GameSalad label, making it easier for users to better discover their software. Commercial games released under the service will share revenues with GameSalad. Both commercial games and free games will pay a small fee to cover App store submissions, but free games will have no additional costs for the service.
