Is Preben still working on the shader side of things?

The last I saw here was some early work with flashlight shadows.

Just wondering how things are going?

Only one man can answer this question
I for one hope for him to show up and deliver us from the evil that is GG's lighting system.

I agree there Wolf. Although it seems that shadows are improved with the sunlight, or is it my imagination.

I think he's busy with the new agk studio but don't quote me on that

Yeah I always got the impression he was more interesting in Game Guru Loader and AGK than Game Guru itself. And he is, after all, a volunteer, so it's not like he has to finish those shaders (or make them work with Game Guru).

Sad times...

Does all the prebem shadows are updated?

lolo

Hey i love and use GameGuru daily, and did not abandon it.

And yes i was hired full time by TGC to make AppGameKit Studio, and i can tell you that working with something you love like game making tools means that you actually spent all your time, it's not just a 8:00 - 16:00 job

Now i have to be careful what i write as my boss Lee might be watching this , but i love GameGuru and AGK and have also tried to smuggle some GameGuru features into AppGameKit Studio, like your able to edit Lua files and GameGuru shaders directly in the IDE, .fpe files will display with there original preview image , you can preview 3D media like .x,.fbx,.obj,.3ds ... and drag/drop png textures directly to the preview to see how your model looks ( also include drag/drop of your normal textures ).

What "I" like AppGameKit Studio to be, is a everyday tool you use for all your TGC programming needs, no matter if its GameGuru Lua/Shaders or AGK Script/OpenGL/Vulkan Shaders. You will be able to do the job! But not all of this is part of the job description so i have to use my limited spare time to smuggle things like this in.

Also i do have a private GameGuru branch of GameGuru with some memory and video updates/bug fixes that i will finish when i'm done with the first release version of AppGameKit Studio , and i have some more spare time, so a GameGuru update is definitely coming soon

That's Awesome news Preben congrats on your new job it's well deserved
The simplicity of GameGuru and the visual quality of AGK Studio would be a perfect Game making tool (hint hint )

Very nice.

Fantastic News
So happy TGC hired you

I don’t think Lee will tell you of for that excellent AppGameKit Studio promotion

Great to hear from you Preben. Thanks for the news. Awesome.

Have to agree with GraPhiX.
The visuals of AGK and simplicity of GG would be a great combination...

GameGuru Fusion

LOL

You never no

Dave

Sweet

Thanks for checking in Preben. Good to hear from you.



Although for the most part, the shadows are great; but, there are some issues (well at least one issue). If you have an npc with a helmet standing towards the sunlight there is a large solid black band across his face. It looks a little strange if you want to talk to the npc. However, my work-a-around was to put a spotlight on his face. That looks a little better.

This sounds awesome - bit annoyed thou, only just bought AGK and the visual editor for it, and then they announce this.... thats the way it goes I guess.....

Reliquia....

@reliquia:
Its not anything official as i wrote "What "I" like AppGameKit Studio to be" , so this is just my dream

Preben, while you're peeking in on us, is there any way to change the colours of the cartoon shader? I'm thinking it would look awesome if we could highlight in white instead of a black line, if you know what i mean.

@Belidos:
in post-core.fx search for:

Replace with:

Remember to recompile shaders

Awesome, thanks Preben.

@Preben, yeah I realize that, was just referring to the new upcoming release of AppGameKit Studio itself, saved for some time to get AppGameKit and now it is already succeeded by what sounds like a far better version - life in the tech world I guess. No biggie, but probably not on the cards to get the new kid on the block.
