Dont worry guys. We are working on it. Currently Maks is putting the new icons for joints into the editor.dat. The actor dialog has been improved for joints.
We might have to allow collision between static and dynamic objects before we release. We will release in first quarter at latest. Good chance for a release
candidate in february.
Furthermore we are thinking to improve license model. So that targets can be purchased seperately...

The separate prices would mean you don't have to spend your money on something you don't want. So while normally with android being released, the pricing would go up, this will allow you to buy only the platforms you plan to use. Not entirely sure how akr plans to price it, but usually it is the case that if you buy both, then you get the both for less than buying them separately. If individual pricing wasn't an option, the price would go up anyways, so this is an advantage for anyone planning on using the platforms. For instance if you have an android device, but not an idevice, then you won't have to spend extra on the ios platform that you won't use.

Right now its only a discussion. Maybe we will stay with one distribution and/or sell targets seperately.

How does that 30 point thing work? Do you get the license free when you have 30 points?

after you get 30 points, you're able to send your executable to makslane (and maybe akr? I'm not sure) and he'll provide you with an executable of your game without a splash screen

So it's just for one game.
