    I’m really hating that color scheme for the GUI. Anyone know if you could change it back?

      Yes: you actually look at all screenshots and notice such option in one with Settings screen.

    Yeah, the color scheme does seem… dark. Which isn’t the best for readability.
    I wonder why there’s a drop-down menu in the top-middle-left that can select HTML5 or Windows.

    I was think about which version to buy. But I decided to go by standard edition, cause I’m poor right now (depression which makes it hard for me to work right now) cause if I’m gonna buy the html I also want a site to put the game (which will cost even more).

    Thankfully the swedish krona is VERY strong against the dollar the recent years. The price 99$ for html is in Swedish crowns what a regular xbox360 game cost in the store, and 39$ is the price of 2 sets of guitar strings in swedish money :p hihi lucky me

      I think the first time someone posts a comment, it goes into a moderation queue. Its probably done to stop comment spam.

    Maybe this has already been addressed, but is the Studio edition going to let you export to html5? What about just waiting for it to come out?

      I asked it Sandy via twitter, and he said Studio includes HTML5, and if you buy HTML5 now, you will get a discount on Studio.

      Hmmm, what about people who don’t want HTML5 but do want the other exporters like iOS and Android? I guess its okay if HTML5 is thrown in for free, but I don’t want to have to pay more for Studio because of it.
