NEW Version (Dark UI, Full UNICODE Support)
We've just released a new version of 001 Game Creator featuring the new Dark UI and full UNICODE support that we announced last month!
001 Game Creator has been updated to v2020.006.000 and with it comes a bunch of new changes and bug fixes. The two main additions in this release are of course the aforementioned Dark UI and full UNICODE support - which have been highly requested by members of our community for a very long time now. We're glad to finally have these features implemented!
[h2]Dark UI[/h2]
By default, when you start 001 Game Creator, the engine will be in Dark Mode. You can revert back to Light Mode by going into the Tools > Options window. In addition to the new darker theme, we've also changed the main editor font to Verdana to give 001 a more modern appearance, and exposed the graphics used in the Script Editor to allow users to more greatly customise that window!
[h2]Full UNICODE Support[/h2]
At long last, 001 Game Creator now fully supports UNICODE characters throughout the engine! This means that 001 can finally be translated into languages that were once deemed impossible including Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic!
[h3]Translators Wanted[/h3]
With 001 now fully supporting UNICODE characters, this of course means that 001 can now feature languages that it once couldn't, and so we're on the lookout for some volunteers who are willing to help us translate 001 into new languages. Specifically we're looking for translators for Russian, Chinese, Japanese and Arabic. If this is something you feel you can help with then please apply using our translator's contact form: https://001gamecreator.com/translation/
With any new release, there are of course a bunch of bug fixes (including several Map Construction crash fixes). As always, you can view the full change log on our website: https://001gamecreator.com/changes/ but we wanted to highlight some of the more significant changes here:
Lastly, we wanted to take this opportunity to remind users of our user-created Steam Guides: https://steamcommunity.com/app/347400/guides/ which provides an extra source of learning material in addition to our video tutorials, online wiki and built-in demos/examples.
Some of our legacy tutorials (that were originally removed from the engine for being outdated) are currently being revised and will be posted to our Steam Guides section in the coming days, so be sure to check them out once they're posted!
