The latest update for GameGuru Classic is out now and this time we actually had some bugs to fix!  Seven in total from the last 3 months, whittled down to 5, of which 3 fixed and 2 outstanding as more data is collected to be able to reproduce the issues.

The first fix was to correct the camera angle glitching when the FreezePlayer and UnFreezePlayer commands are used, and now the camera stays steady as a rock and restores the player position and angle perfectly when resuming play.  To this end we also added a new LUA command called "GetGamePlayerStatePlrLogic" so you know when the player is in a frozen state.

The second fix applies to projectiles, so that when custom projectiles are created that deliberately do not explode, but are instead supposed to apply damage to other entities or the player, they now do so. You will find this useful when creating projectiles such as arrows that simply need to inflict some damage on the target instead of exploding all the time.

The third fix was a simple and useful extension of the decal appearance range.So instead of the decal effect disappearing after 800 units distance, the decal will now remain visible as far away as 3000 units from the camera, allowing better effects when targeting through scopes and other means.

The latest update for GameGuru Classic is now out and, for the second time since we launched many years ago, no engine fixes have been required since the last update in March.  

We committed two years ago to support GameGuru Classic with fixes for as long as there was a community around it and this is still the case. We hope you continue to enjoy making games with this increasingly classic game maker and if you do spot any new issues please report these on our issues board

As always, we encourage you to check out the GitHub repository that holds the source code to GameGuru Classic and if you have some C++ skills, and feel inclined, make some additions and let us know.  We are always looking for new features to release........and the community will be very happy with you!

The latest update for GameGuru Classic is now out, and for the first time since we launched many years ago, there have been no engine fixes required since the December update.  If you spot any new issues please let us know on our issues board.

That said, we did get plenty of contributions from community members Teabone and Preben via GitHub repository pull requests that fix performance and add to the script side of GameGuru Classic.

The performance work was a stealth commit by Preben and improved the overall speed of the entire games engine by optimizing for 'Max Speed', and also improving the speed of animation control and the LUA loop system.  Many thanks for the contributions, from TGC and the community!

The Cyberpunk Audio Pack - is an amazing collection of unique, custom-made sounds, from new audio artist Orpheus. This, the first of our themed audio packs, focuses on the sounds of the city, with an emphasis on Cyberpunk. Originally released for GameGuru MAX, we've now made the full pack available for GameGuru Classic users.

Included in the pack, you'll find 150 sounds of the city both during the daytime and at night, allowing you to change the ambiance of your game based on the time of the day.
