v1.01.002
This week we released the much awaited 002 version, an update that was three weeks in the making and introduces motion blur and DOF effects for the first time in Game Guru. The release went well and our next mission is to take reports for any minor issues that might have sprung up which we could not catch at the testing stage.
During our extensive testing, a number of shots where produced which highlight the versatility of the product, and in the one above it shows just how colorful you can make your games.
If your favorite color is orange, there is a color scheme for you too, as demonstrated with this rather exaggerated rocky scene. Also in this shot you might make out the depth of field effect at work as the more distant geometry is blurred out of focus by the post process shader.
Many more improvements have been made for build 002, including lots of work on the third person control system and in a neighboring camp, work on multiplayer which now allows custom characters to be chosen as avatars so you can play yourself when running around a death match or co-op game. As the Character Creator allows a lot of crazy combinations, it provides our testing team with a lot of fun seeing what hideous creations we're wearing next! Work is now proceeding to allow your own face to be mapped to the custom characters to further the goal of making a personal avatar you can use for all multiplayer games. Exciting stuff!
We have a team meeting next week to decide the next major update, and the community has so far indicated that performance should be the sole target of our efforts, and I am inclined to agree. We have a few levels that run under 30 fps and a few more than run under 60 fps. It would be ideal if we can get ALL our stock levels well past the basic 60 frames per second threshold, and then continue this work to ensure even large levels never drop below this minimum setting (PC systems permitting). We are currently setting quite a low minimum spec for Game Guru, and with this performance work we have the possibility of reducing the requirements still further.
My thanks to the community so far who have posted reviews on the Steam Community Hub, and an extra thanks for those who posted glowing scores! It's early days and it's great we have your confidence moving forward as we aim to build the easiest game maker on the planet. For now, have a great weekend and I look forward to bringing you more news on what is happening in the engine room of Game Guru next week.
