Hi, it's been about a month since we have heard anything from Lee regarding the EBE or Game Guru in general. There has been no blog posts or twitch/YouTube videos since the start of August and I am anxious to know what's been happening,. I know Lee was planning to go on his holiday, but I though he said it was going to be 2 weeks. Also, since I'm not part of the EBE beta I would love to know everyone's thoughts on it so far.

Cheers, Leigh

I hope what's happened to Lee is not the same thing that happened to Tom Hanks in Castaway...

Tom had a football called Wilson. Hopefully, Lee has a computer and a crate of Guinness.

I think Lee is just very busy trying to get EBE right and also implement a lot of other things into the next update, plus the implants need charging up every night he could have of course have won on the scratch cards and run off to Ibiza lol as to the EBE beta in itself it looks like a very handy tool to have for non modelers and modelers alike its easy, quick and the end results are pretty sweet, ive been testing it a bit when i have 10 mins but we are waiting on a save function but im sure it'll be here pretty soon

Of all the places I would never go there... it's full of drunken teenagers!

I know he is an incredibly busy man, but would be nice to get a line or two... I mean, he doesn't write, he doesn't call... what's a fella like me to do?

I agree! Apparently knocking on the window last week wasn't enough, and apparently nobody threw any bricks like I suggested.
Any news would be welcome, even if it was that they were abandoning EBE for now because they bought the rights to the space engine and were busy incorporating that!

I already kinda walked away from the update. Don't get me wrong, I am super excited about the update, but I am not checking in on twitch everyday anymore, or check here everyday for update news like I used to. I will just take it as it comes. But I am going to be honest, I am more excited for the FPSC models than the EBE, because I already have some great assets from the store.

Ya I know, right? This project is starting to remind me of every other Game Creators project... Freaking FPS creator X10 could of been something good, but nope... killed it. And so on and so fourth.

We can only hope. Normally though, we would get some feedback at this point and I haven't seen anything yet.

It seems unusual for a gap of this length with no news or stream or posts. The Twitch live stream page still says he's on holiday. It also says next stream August 24th, which was wrong and since missed the next normal stream time as well. I'm surprised about this, it's very unusual for things like this to be left so long. It doesn't leave a good impression, for any new users especially, who have attended both normal stream times and found no stream.

It may be he's helping a little on the AGK side of things or perhaps some personal emergency has kept him away. We don't know. He wasn't skiing again was he? :0

Maybe Lee was abducted by pirates and is now currently sailing the seven seas as a scurvy seaman. Yarr!

I saw Lee logged into the forums earlier, so I don't think he's been abducted, lol! Maybe he's just shy! Baby steps, Lee, baby steps...

Hi guys, I think they have been working on the Educational App with AppGameKit, which was posted on there website 30th Aug.
Maybe there are some important issues to resolve with the launch of the app for kids.

The Game Creators launch new Educational App for kids made with AppGameKit

Even a stub of an update would be good. Saying they are busy with AGK. My main concern is the wait for whats on the feature voting board. Just been waiting a few years so far...

Its been more than 30 days now and nothing from TGC, I get it that they are busy, but even a quick 1 line blurb that they are still dedicated to launching 1.4 soon would be nice.

- My suspicions confirmed.

Really though, people wouldn't have gone mad if Lee had announced he was off to help on the AGK side for a couple of weeks. It would have saved several people a bit of time on the stream side. I had already thought this was an AGK thing for awhile now, I remember the compo being announced. I didn't want to stir the waters though with guesswork and gut feelings. I hope it does well for them. Hopefully normal service will resume next week?

Lee has moved under a fake name out of the country to make toy review channels.

Also, has it actually been 2 months since the first video on the EBE? Because if so, that is ridiculous.

This is insane.....how many years we need to wait for one feature? GG went very wrong way...i haven't been here for months and long awaited EBE is still in progress...very sad ..more than month no news..really? You will scare people away from your product, and it will do harm only to you. Very bad business plan indeed...:/...i regret so much that i pledged gold years ago. One big mistake and sorry but i can't say one good word about GG.

I don't think I would quite describe it in those terms, but it is highly worrying how we haven't heard anything from Lee or anyone in over a month. Hate to be a pessimist, but something feels wrong here...

I know Lee came back from holiday to quite a big list and i have received email requesting more info on some really awkward ones..... So to the best of my knowledge he just got stuck into it all and is hard at work....

It would be much better if Lee care more about at least week news, so people feel that he cares more .... because if he keeps it this way.... i work in bussiness and I know what people want if they pay for something. Take this as advice.

Hi All, I'm slowly hacking my way back to the front lines and normal service should resume by October. Been wearing my CEO hat on for a while now, and eager to get back to full-on GameGuru news and updates.

I did however have time to handle daily queries, posts and reviews for GameGuru and gained some more insights into what the general public like and dislike about our GameGuru development, and I will be putting a few of these gleamed facts to purpose soon (including a new product page description to avoid users being mislead about what GameGuru is (and what it is not)).

Really enjoyed some of the 'Where is Lee' comments above, and to join in the fun here is something I thought was particularly apt for GameGuru when I saw it:



Stay tuned, Lee has been rescued and now has ice in his glass
