Do you have a nice song track or sprite sheet asset that could help others? Maybe you developed a nice external code that some Kwik users would love to have as well? Introducing the new Asset Store! Now you can sell your own creations and get some money back from your development time! Check the video above to learn how to become a vendor and sell your assets. You will get 70% of the price you set, while Kwiksher gets 30% to cover the processing fees.

Introducing Kwik 3.2
Kwik 3.2 is here! Today I would like to introduce Kwik 3.2. This update brings some nice additions including: an easy way to create infinity scrolling (you can use it for backgrounds or any king of layers), as I have shown few weeks ago in this tutorial; a new message system integrated in the plugin that will allow Kwiksher to send you special promotions and announcements. As many people asks for a way to “never leave Photoshop”, this is one of our answers 🙂 an integrated way to renew subscriptions from inside the tool; Particle Replacement, a new option that allows you to import particles created by Particle Designer 2 into…
Preparing for the future
I would like to provide a quick update on what is happening here at Kwiksher. Website: As you may have noticed, my main focus (especially now that Kwik 3 is pretty stable) in May was (and still is) to fix the issues with the newest website. It is really nice visually but performance is still far from what I expect. I have changed the hosting provider and I will do it again today because the performance is still not acceptable. I am sorry for this inconvenience but, without this important infrastructure milestone, I will not be able to bring some really important news in the next days. Kwik: Due the issues…
Kwiksher’s New Shop Experience
After much work and sweat, the new website is finished, including a totally new shop experience, which includes access to your past orders as well. See the presentation video below and learn what is new: Are you having problems with the new site? For some users the new site sometimes cannot load pages or returns a php error. I am working with our provider to handle it as soon as possible. Meanwhile, just refresh the empty/error page and the right page will load fine. Sorry for this inconvenience. Did you like it?
Corona Composer GUI: do you need it? Check thoughts and the tutorial
Last week Corona Labs announced their new tool, yet in a beta stage, called Composer GUI (graphics user interface), which is pretty cool, by the way. If you haven’t seen it, check their blog. Minutes later, I received an email from a Kwik user asking about how it would change Kwik’s positioning for the future. You can read about my entire thoughts below but, in a few words, I would like to say that Composer GUI targets a different audience than Kwik. To clarify that, I decided to make a homage to Corona Labs, reproducing their demo in Kwik. See and take your own conclusions: A Threat Or An Opportunity? First of…
News options for Kwik users: Welcome Animo!
I am very happy to announce that Lanica’s Animo (previously known as SpriteLoq), Flash sprite sheet exporter, is now compatible with Kwik 2! Animo is a powerful tool for users willing to create professional sprite sheets from Flash. Since version 1.0.2 it offers an option to target Kwik 2 projects. After exported from Animo, your sprite sheet PNG and Lua files can be imported into Kwik’s Sprite Sheet Replacement window: Greg Pugh created a nice tutorial on how to integrate your Flash sheets, exported with Animo, with Kwik (originally here: http://gpanimationsblog.com/2012/12/11/tutorial-importing-flash-animations-into-kwik-2/): To celebrate the integration with Kwik, Lanica has a special deal for our users (check below). Welcome to…
Getting ready to take-off: Showcase, new tutorial and other updates
Showcase: Since we announced the Kwik Showcase, 3 new storybook apps were added: Frederik Spin, tell us the story of a little spider who loves to create webs using gorgeous illustrations; Hello World Idodo’s Dreamy Adventure, allow us to travel with the little Idodo around the world; Oho the Monkey, brings us to the jungle to meet their friends. In all the cases above, no external code was added (pure Kwik apps as I like to say), confirming that Kwik can do its job no matter the experience of its users. Here goes Sparky again! This week Ansca’s announced Sparky the Shark as App of the Month (May) which is…
