Hi All,
Here is the recording from today's broadcast:
And here are the answers I could not reach in the live chat:
Q> Any possibility of Steam API integration for achievements? (The Steam API should be 100% optional so our games could be deployed anywhere)
A> There are no plans for specific Steam API support in the first version of GameGuru MAX as we want it to be free of dependencies initially, but we may look at Steam functionality after that.
Q> Menu Editor for the standalones planned?
A> Yes there will be something called the GAme Storyboard which allows you to edit your title and in-game screens for your standalone game without the need to script or create art.
Q> Already did my own Light_attached, but is there some chance to have one in GGMax Lights set?
A> We are looking at the best methods to attach both lights and particles to objects to save time when placing certain objects down. More on this when we have a solution we are happy with.
Q> Do we have to download gameguru Max on steam?
A> GameGuru Max will be available on steam or downloadable.
Q> Any chance to make the "Convert model" window modal and top-most please?
A> There is no convert model feature in GameGuru MAX. We do have a Model Importer which can import different model formats and prepare them for use in GameGuru MAX, and there are currently no plans to change the way it works except by expanding its functionality to allow more model variations to be handled.
Q> Is VR still going to be a priority before multiplayer?
A> Yes VR takes priority over Multiplayer for GameGuru MAX, and we will be supporting OpenXR as the technology.
Q> Where is game guru max? I've been waiting for almost a year and nothing?
A> Still an open release date but you can pre-order and get the weekly builds. The aim is to deliver a great product. Sorry that you have had to wait so long but we needed more time to develop the vision we have for MAX.
Q> Can I use the latest build to create as well as publish a game or is the publishing part still coming due to the release date having been pushed back so far?
A> No. If you are looking to make games right now, best to find a game maker that is finished and has a history of producing finished stable games. You will not be able to create and publish your own games with GameGuru MAX until we have finished the product and released it officially to the general public.
Thanks for all your questions, see you all next week!
GameGuru Classic will continue to be supported with bug fixes and functionality additions.
