discounts for iTGB...please?

Hi, I bought a TGB license to create a game. Now i'm ready to move it to the iPhone. I was wondering if there were any discounts or coupons for iTGB. 500 is a little steep for me right now.

How about it, Garage Games?

I don't think there ever have been any coupons actually.
At least I haven't seen a single coupon code since I saw the field first.


Also, I'm not sure that it was a good idea to create an iphone game with TGB Pro (remember that if you don't own TGB Pro, you have to pay another $150 to upgrade from TGB to TGB Pro first before buying iTGB) as I don't assume that you have optimized it in C++ yet, which is a thing required for anything but simplest games.

It would have been nice to not have to purchase TGB Pro to get iTGB but that is how their system is setup. Also the total price is still cheap compared to other alternatives and provides you with a great starting point with source code.

If it makes you feel better I bought TGB Pro just so I can have iTGB :). I don't even have any plans to use TGB pro but they have to do this because iTGB is more of a port from TGB which means you are essentially getting the same engine. At least you will be familiar with the setup :).
