GameGuru Classic News

The latest update for GameGuru Classic is now out, including all bug fixes reported since the September update.  If you spot any new issues please let us know on our issues board.

Here are all of the items we fixed in this update:

• You can now once again paint grass in the F9 in-level editing mode
  
• Confirmed the LUT settings in the TAB TAB test level work fine
  
• Fixed a crash relating to the use of legacy entities using more than 100 meshes and needing multi-materials
  

If only all software developed could suffer from less than 10 bugs every 3 months, and GameGuru Classic is certainly bucking the trend with 5 issues settled for December 2023.

We made a commitment two years ago to support GameGuru Classic with fixes for as long as there was a community around it and this is still the case. We hope you continue to enjoy making games with this increasingly classic game maker.

As always, we encourage you to check out the GitHub repository that holds the source code to GameGuru Classic and if you have some C++ skills, and feel inclined, make some additions and let us know.  We are always looking for new features to release........and the community will be very happy with you!

The Cyberpunk Audio Pack - is an amazing collection of unique, custom-made sounds, from new audio artist Orpheus. This, the first of our themed audio packs, focuses on the sounds of the city, with an emphasis on Cyberpunk. Originally released for GameGuru MAX, we've now made the full pack available for GameGuru Classic users.

Included in the pack, you'll find 150 sounds of the city both during the daytime and at night, allowing you to change the ambiance of your game based on the time of the day. From traffic noise, street chatter, and the general hum of city life, to the darker side of Cyberpunk, with sirens, traffic noises, radio chatter, and the sounds of crimes in progress.

The latest update for GameGuru Classic is now out, including bug fixes reported since the June update.  If you spot any new issues please let us know on our issues board.

Here are all of the items we fixed in this update:

• Now the Show(e) and Hide(e) commands ignore light markers, use ShowLight and HideLight instead
  
• Prevents the player from intersecting obstacles if using SPACE to swim upward when underwater
  
• Fixed the issue of custom characters not retaining their color tints
  

What are you playing at we hear you scream.....only three fixes in three months, one fix per month, are you serious? 

It can take years, and in the case of GameGuru Classic, eight years, to get to a point where bugs are few and far between, and right now on our issues board we are down to 6 reports left.

Four of them are marked as fixed awaiting confirmation, and two are awaiting additional information required to successfully reproduce the issue.  The rest of the bugs, which once numbered in the thousands, have all been fixed.

We made a commitment two years ago to support GameGuru Classic with fixes for as long as there was a community around it and this is still the case. We hope you continue to enjoy making games with this increasingly classic game maker.
