It’s nearly two weeks since the launch of GameGuru onto Steam Early Access and we’re pleased to say that we’ve released 7 updates in that time, with many, many more to come.  We plan to release small updates  frequently so you can expect GameGuru to continue to go from strength to strength. It is very exciting watching it grow at such a fast rate, and we look forward to continuing to provide GameGuru users with the tools to create excellent games for years to come.
