001 Game Creator News

We've updated 001 Game Creator to fix a critical crash some Windows 10 users were experiencing. We've also made some additional changes/added some new things that we've documented below.



Windows 10 Crash Fix - We've recently fixed an issue that resulted in some Windows 10 users experiencing crashes when opening certain editor windows. If you've been experiencing random crashes while using Windows 10 then this update should hopefully address that issue!

Android Build Update - We've updated game building for Android which now requires the Android SDK/NDK to be installed in addition to Java Development Kit (JDK). This now means that Android games can be distributed to the Amazon App Store and other store fronts that require a DEX file to be generated.

NEW Screenshot Capture/Manager - We've added a new screenshot capture tool to the Game Debugger that allows you to effortless screenshot your game while testing. All of the captured screenshots are then stored inside a manager (which will launch automatically after closing your game). You can also submit them to our website by entering your email address and providing a brief description.





NEW Reset Interface When Screen Changes - Lastly, we've added a new Interface Properties option to automatically reset an Interface when the screen size changes. This feature is useful for Interfaces with alternate layouts - as it now means Interfaces can update when a mobile device's orientation is changed or when a Windows form is resized without needing to manually reset the Interface. It also works with HTML5 games too (when resizing the browser window)!

To usher in the new year, we're also updating our tutoring and scripting service pricing from $40/hr to $25/hr! To schedule some one on one training please visit: https://001gamecreator.com/product/software-training/

A small thing for most but we've recently moved our website over to https://001gamecreator.com (previously engine001 - which now redirects to the new URL)



Over the past year, we’ve added a whole bunch of new features to 001 (and fixed a ton of bugs too!) We also launched our new Feature Requests vote box and have already completed our first request (Oscillate Sequence Mode for Sprites) which will be available in the next version! We also released our Enhanced RPG DLC Kit with a fully customisable Turn-Based Battle System that many of you have already started making use of in your games.



Looking towards 2019, we will strive to fulfil as many feature requests as reasonably possible (you can suggest your own here) – while also launching new exciting DLC Kits that open up even more possibilities for game making! We appreciate all of your continued support throughout the year and would like to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!

See you in 2019!

While our Enhanced RPG Kit is not a part of the Steam Autumn Sale (given that we only just recently released it) we wanted to take this time to say how happy we are to have received so many positive comments about this latest DLC Kit!

Speaking of which, we've also updated the Enhanced RPG Kit to address a few issues some of you ran into. You can see the full patch notes here.



We also recently unveiled our new feature requests vote box and are pleased to see people making fast use of it! We want to take this opportunity to remind those of you, who may not yet be aware of it, that we're currently taking feature requests from the community so we have a clear idea of what it is you want to see added next.

Make sure you also vote on features you really like to increase their priority!

Yes, at long last, we are ready to unveil our new Enhanced RPG Kit that features a fully functional Turn-Based Battle System!

First and foremost, check out the updated "New Game" window that will appear when creating a new project. We've separated all DLC Kits into their own list (to the right) and merged all the built-in projects and demo games in the list to the left.

We've also added a small blurb to remind our users that DLC Kits DO NOT restrict functionality - meaning you can freely create an MMORPG without the MMORPG Kit or create a 3D FPS without the 3D FPS / Survival Horror Kit!



Now let's get to the juicy stuff, the Enhanced RPG Kit itself!

While turn-based battles are an exciting part of this new DLC kit, it's not the only thing RPG fans will come to appreciate. We've overhauled a ton of built-in systems specifically for this kit including (but not limited to):



We've given the default user interface and player HUD an extensive make over in the Enhanced RPG Kit! Take a look:









The Enhanced RPG Kit also features a fancy new quest system that allows users to effortlessly setup all kinds of fun and interesting quests for players to embark on. There's even a quest menu where you can see all of your active and completed quests - now that's useful!





OK! We know this is what you're really here for! Yes, with the Enhanced RPG Kit you can create both Action-RPG battles and Turn-Based battles! While the tools to create a TBBS have existed for some time now, there's no denying that creating one can be rather tricky - so being able to simply pick apart and use a pre-built TBBS is far more convenient!









We've barely begun to scratch the surface with everything this kit has to offer. For the full list of features be sure to check out the Enhanced RPG Kit Store Page

It's that spooky time of year again! We've got some great Halloween discounts, a new version of 001 Game Creator and a brand new feature requests vote box!



From NOW until November 1st you can purchase 001 Game Creator for 60% off its usual price and all of our DLC Kits are 30% off as well.

At long last, we've finally released a brand new feature requests vote box that will allow our users to submit features they'd like to see added to 001 and that other users can vote on! This will help our team to better understand what it is our users want the most!

To request a new feature, simply go to Help > Feature Requests inside 001 Game Creator itself. You'll then be taken to a special page on our website where you'll be able to submit your idea. Once approved, your idea will then be visible for all to see and other users can then vote on the ideas they like the most!







We've also updated 001 Game Creator to the latest version (v1.020.007) which includes a handful of new small additions such as an opacity/alpha slider for the Map Parallax colour option, an "Enable/Disable Lighting" Actor event, and a "Change Display Name" Field event.

Additionally, we've added a new "Change FOV" Camera View Field event which should prove especially useful for those of you developing 3D games!

See the full list of changes on our website.



Now that our feature requests vote box is open, it's time to start submitting your ideas! Who knows, maybe your idea will be added to the next version of 001 Game Creator!
