Welcome to the latest GameGuru weekly news. This has been a busy time behind the scenes with some very exciting and much requested features being added to the internal build. Due to the size and scope of these additions they are still undergoing a lot of internal testing to ensure that we can release a stable release to you all. We’re sure you won’t be disappointed and will find that the editing and gaming experience is transformed for you all. To whet your appetite here’s a sneak peek of the 3D edit mode;
The scene below was created using some of the new editor functions in around 20 minutes, demonstrating how the new improvements will transform your developments and speed up creation.
In other work, we’re continuing to refine a new Multiplayer co-op feature, allowing the use of BOT characters vs you and your friends! This is a very exciting feature that we’ve had a lot of fun developing and testing. We expect to be able to feed that out to you all later this week once we’ve completed internal testing.
