This Week in Game-Guru - 04/30/2018

OFFICIAL GAME-GURU NEWS:


Game-Guru has officially updated!  Queue the fireworks, beer, and cheers people!  It's the full DX11 release with all the associated Github and PP releases that we've come to know, love, and sometimes despise.

This represents a huge departure for Game-Guru and as such you will want to really give your stuff a thorough once-over before you test.

In the meantime we have a new pack to help celebrate, with full PBR models - https://www.thegamecreators.com/post/gameguru-construction-site-pack-released

There's some really nice looking stuff in those kits so give em a look!

NEW PRODUCTS IN THE STORE:


The store has a massive smattering of new products this week and while many are great (nice to see Tazman experimenting with PBR, for instance!)  - I have to say BSP shattered expectations with some damn fine looking stuff.


As you can see these are some top shelf products!  There's also some really good stuff by GraPhiX, that model guy, and relative newcomer mechanic.  Pasquill has also added some new cars, which are always worth a look.  These appear to be the first PBR enabled vehicles so give them a double take!

I also have to chime in that I love Shadow Man's style.  So I follow him on the store (amongst others) and while he's not a super-prolific author his stuff is top notch and worth a look if you're into cyberpunk/sci-fi/modern styles.

Of course most of these are available in well priced packs so spend wisely:




FREE STUFF:

Not much going on here, but we already have lots of nice new shinies to play with so let's hold off either way for next week!


THIRD PARTY TOOLS:


The latest version of the Heightmap 2 GG program is out and available for download here:

RANDOM ACTS OF CREATIVITY:

Cybernessence did a great job with some coolscripting in his upcoming game 'The Cogwheel Chronicles'.


That's the kind of inventive stuff that keeps people interested in your product, people.


IN MY OWN WORKS:


My own products will need a thorough 'going over' for the latest revision of Game-Guru.  I will need to take some time this week to set aside and test it thoroughly then bug-fix whatever new problems cropped up from the latest revision.

The book continues to slog along though I literally got NOTHING done due to my day job's total focus last week along with my family getting sick upon my return.

Keep an eye out here for more updates.  If you are encountering any problems with the Time of Day and Weather system please let me know ASAP via this blog or via the ticket system on http://en.tgcstore.net
