In addition to our week-long sale, we've also updated 001 Game Creator to v1.020.000. This version contains a host of bug fixes and refinements to existing features.

You can see the full list of changes here: https://www.engine001.com/changes.htm

There's one particular change we'd like to highlight here and that's our greatly improved collision detection performance! If you noticed sharp frame rate drops when working with vehicles (or other objects that use polygonal collisions) you'll be pleased to discover that these issues have now been resolved! Thank you to everyone who brought this issue to our attention!



A small update on the progress of our upcoming MMORPG Video Tutorial Series: A few setbacks caused some delays but I'm happy to announce that we're planning on having these videos completed by the end of the month!

As a side note: This new series will make heavy use of our MMORPG DLC Kit so if you're interested in learning more about online multiplayer, or just want a better understanding of how to create MMORPGs, then make sure you've purchased our MMORPG DLC Kit while it's on sale!



We've heard your requests for a turn-based battle system loud and clear and I'm happy to finally announce that a Turn-Based Battle DLC Kit (working title) is currently in the works!

Here are some early work-in-progress screenshots showing the turn-based battle system in action:

Using Elixir to heal party member

We'll have more to share on this upcoming template in the following weeks and months. We hope you're looking forward to it!



With new video tutorials and a new turn-based battle template just over the horizon, there's plenty to look forward to in the coming weeks/months. We'll continue listening to your feedback on what new features/templates we should work on next as well as ideas for future video tutorials - so please keep them coming! A big thanks to all of you for your continued support and to those that help us to keep making 001 Game Creator even better! :)

As mentioned in our last update, we've been working on some extra bonus tutorials for our main RPG Video Tutorial Series that we launched at the beginning of the month to cover some extra topics not covered.

I'm pleased to announce that these bonus tutorials have now been completed and are available for viewing on our Official YouTube Channel. These bonus tutorials are split into two parts and are just over 15 minutes in length combined.

The first bonus tutorial covers:

• How to create a Flashlight/Torch (covers Lights, Timers and Custom Controls/Input Triggers)
  
• Making a Roof for our Bedroom (covers Map Layers and Zones)

And the second bonus tutorial covers:

• Hidden objects/temporary blocking (covers Zones)
  
• Implementing an Auto-Save feature (covers Save/Load and Custom Events)
  
• Removal of black borders around small Maps (covers Video Resolution and "Change Zoom" event)

Online Mutliplayer! We asked you guys what you most wanted to see next from our on-going video tutorial series and online multiplayer was amongst the most requested topics! We've already begun compiling a list of topics that we think will be the most useful and plan to start the script writing process soon. As for when these video tutorials will be ready, it's still a little too soon to tell but we'll be sure to let you know once we have a better idea (after all, we've only recently started working on them!)



We're still listening intently to all of the feedback we've received on our video tutorial series thus far and what topics you'd like to see us cover in the future, so please continue to put forward your ideas for new video tutorials!

A week-long sale, new details about our upcoming bonus tutorial for our RPG video tutorial series and a new version of 001 with a host of bug fixes! Get all the juicy details below:



From now until the 19th February 2018 you can purchase 001 Game Creator for 60% off and all of our DLC Kits are 30% off as well!

With the release of the five-part RPG Series video tutorials we mentioned how we were taking feedback for our next series and that in the meantime a new "Bonus" video tutorial would be created to cover some additional topics not featured in the main series. I can now give an update on the status of this bonus tutorial and what it'll cover:

• How to create a Flashlight/Torch (covers Lights, Timers and Custom Controls/Input Triggers)
• Making a Roof for our Bedroom (covers Map Layers and Zones)
• Hidden objects/temporary blocking (covers Zones)
• Implementing an Auto-Save feature (covers Save/Load and Custom Events)
• Removal of black borders around small Maps (covers Video Resolution and "Change Zoom" event)

The bonus tutorial will be split into two parts (both parts will be released simultaneously) and should be completed by the end of the week.



We've also updated 001 to v1.019.003 which fixes a number of reported issues. As always you can see the full list of changes here: https://www.engine001.com/changes.htm

In regards to the Show Save/Load Game bug, affected projects will need to change the value of the Comparison Branch event inside the "Player Enters" trigger to "Yes" (1). See image below:
