ENGINE UPDATE PROGRESS REPORT
If you keep an eye on https://github.com/TheGameCreators/GameGuruRepo/issues you can get an interesting sense of what is being looked at and what isn't. Currently there isn't a huge amount of 'buy in' for the github repo but it is coming along and in 6-10 months I expect it to be trucking along fairly well. There's a good body of issues being brought to the attention of Lee and company. So we'll see but for now, mum's the word.
NEW PRODUCTS IN THE STORE
What you see above is the whole of it. Gtox is adding new weapons (this knife apparently has an alt-attack, which is pretty cool!) and M Stockton has done some great work making a skate parka nd some parking blocks. High quality models are always good thing!
FREE STUFF
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/219294 - DuchenKuke has offered a really great variety of free music from his old fallout work. I love this type of thing and highly encourage people to use it to help differentiate their product from stock offerings.
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/215012?page=15 - Bod has given us a great deal of things over the years and he continues to deliver. This time it's a Mallard train, carriage, and a really fantastic looking train station (check out the picture below!). Make sure you tell him how much you appreciate his work - I think he's getting fatigued a bit and it always helps to hear some encouraging words.

| This is a really brilliant new piece, in my opinion! |
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/219211 - In HonkeyBoy's thread about his survival system, there's a new Lathe that's been added by GraphiX which is pretty impressive and definitely worth a download.
THIRD PARTY TOOLS
Nothing really new and exciting here. Preben did make an interesting change to GG Loader which apparently improved framerates significantly by reducing draw-calls. Hopefully this will have some future implementation in Game-Guru. I have more to do for my notepad API but it's going to be a bit. I simply have too much on my plate at the moment..
RANDOM ACTS OF CREATIVITY
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/219296 - DuchenKuke's new project looks promising.
I love post-apocalyptic games and this one looks like a solid piece. It's interesting, I've asked him what his method is and he mostly just wings it. I guess some do have a natural talent for level-building. Lucky bastard was apparently gifted with it more than I was, apparently.
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/217908?page=3#msg2595102 - Dimoxiland has done some major reworking to his "Space Losers" game and I think it's really going places.
Check out the above video for details. Very cool stuff. Check out how clean the scripting and game play is! Definitely one to keep an eye on.
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/219258 - Honkeyboy's latest creation - Death by Daylight shows a remarkable increase in level design and proficiency for Game-Guru's most prolific author. He's got rapid development down to a science at this point and it's really starting to make strides.
https://forum.game-guru.com/thread/219277 - Teabone has done some... very curious... things with scripting and automobiles in Game-Guru. Definitely worth a look.
IN MY OWN WORKS
I've made some progress on the Camera system I'm working on. I have 3 out of 4 of the major pieces I want before I release it. Once I get the last piece in play, I will build a demo level, zip it up, and sell it (for about $4). It'll start off on sale at 3.50. The camera kit will have some very interesting components which I believe most will appreciate. I may add some niceties to it but that's not required at this point so it may get added down the road.
After that I have to finish my other two kits. So keep an eye out for some interesting news there.
