I’m only really interested in HTML5 and Ubuntu. Of course I’m not complaining about getting Windows and OS X, so I ticked those too. I would say Google Play, but I’m still no fan of hardcore games on mobile devices.
I’m almost certainly biased, but I think that PC is the best platform for gaming. I just love mashing keyboards furiously. <3

You, sir, just made my life complete. I am now completely finished with Windows.

I agree, the backtracking was becoming a pain nearing the end of the game; mostly because I had left a coin behind and completely forgot where it had been. Although I’m almost positive I got all the coins I don’t recall any reward or anything; hmm.

I really enjoyed the puzzles for the most part; assuming they only had to be played once. But I do agree; the sticking block only caused confusion thinking it might be needed in some puzzles when it really wasn’t, etc.

I also stopped the music about 2/3rds of the way through the game.

I finished in 2 hours 39 minutes if anyone needs a time reference.

Exactly,
the floor plan is terrible. Employees need better spaces that foster collaboration and effective work.

I loved softwrap as a company. I hated their DRM technology. I had a personal relationship with their then president, Richard Wienburg. Sad to hear of its demise.

RIP

As many as possible to be honest.
Although I will be focusing on android and ios, there’s no reason why whatever I make can’t be ported to other platforms.

The only reason i bought Gamemaker Studio is because of the Linux(Ubuntu) export, but I’m also like HTML5 and Android.

I bought the master edition

In no particular order:
Windows
Android
Ubuntu/Linux
HTML5
Windows and Ubuntu are my primary release platforms. I use HTML5 whenever I can (I can’t on my current project because 3D), and although I haven’t done anything in Android yet, I have the licenses and accounts set up and am ready to move in soon. I didn’t mark Tizen because I haven’t done much research on it or what exporting to it would require from me, but I’m also interested in seeing if that would be something I’d want to do.

In order: Windows, Mac, Android, iOS.
Why? I think games have a bigger impact with more available options for Desktop, whilst portable devices have a great sense of ‘touch’ to create an alternative experience.

I only chose these platforms because I have only used these ones before, so I feel more comfortable developing for them.

Voted for the desktop platforms. Not terribly interested in HTML5 as I don’t enjoy playing games in a browser, but I do like to be able to quickly publish to html5 for demoing things or quick test builds to friends. Mobile I’m less interested in only because there aren’t many games I want to make for touch controls. Windows 8 Mobile has no market outside of Microsoft employees, and Tizen I’d never heard of until the last GM build; no idea why it’s supported.
