NOTE: Users will need to already own copies of both GameGuru and AppGameKit Classic to use this DLC. The DLC includes: <ul class="bb_ul"><li>GameGuru to AppGameKit Classic Converter tool </li><li>AppGameKit Tier1 source code that loads and displays the converted levels </li><li>Highly optimised graphic shaders</li></ul> GameGuru is an easy to use 3D game maker designed for making games for PCs. It has an easy to use editor allowing you to create 3D scenes for your games. Levels consist of 3D assets such as terrains, skies, vegetation and scenery objects like buildings and everyday objects. All these assets can be converted and then loaded in and displayed with the included AppGameKit Tier1 Script code. GameGuru Loader allows you to go mobile too! As the game media in GameGuru is of a very high quality, it doesn’t always perform well on mobile devices. However, GameGuru Loader includes a converter that can scan all your GameGuru media and convert it to a format ideal for mobile use. GameGuru Loader uses a billboard system (flat sprites) to efficiently display the levels on mobile devices where 3D performance has to be carefully managed. Game objects smoothly transition between 3D objects into billboard version. You can also adjust the distance value where this transition occurs to gain even higher frame rates.

You can read more about GameGuru Loader by downloading the official user guide here. Platforms This DLC is for the Windows platform only. The GameGuru Loader source code can also be used on Mac &amp; Linux platforms but the converter tool is currently only for Windows. There is documentation that explains how to convert on Mac &amp; Linux manually using a third party tool called xnconvert. IMPORTANT NOTE Most of the default media included in GameGuru will work out of the box in GameGuru Loader. Some objects that are not yet supported by AppGameKit Classic might have to be converted or changed in order for them to work correctly in AppGameKit. This is sold “as is” with no guarantees, you receive the source code and are able to modify it as you wish; you can add missing functions or change the current function to fit your needs. As this is source code you must know AppGameKit Tier 1 BASIC Script in order to use it and make your games. Sadly, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to make every possible level display and work well on mobile devices. Most mobiles are restricted in memory and CPU/GPU speed compared to PCs. Smaller levels might be able to work if you use the reduced media and use the very lowest settings within GameGuru Loader. As mobile devices get faster and have more available memory you will be able to process larger levels and use better quality settings. GameGuru Loader already allows you to scale the quality up and down. GameGuru Loader will continue to be improved in line with any developments made with GameGuru and we will release updates to you as they are developed.
