Haha, I'm in the same boat! It's a shame, but so long as the updates keep AppGameKit thriving I guess that's the most important thing.

The one thing I am interested in here is the plugin system, although if it really can't be extended to support mobile systems, I'm not sure how useful it will really be..

Still, it's good to know what's being planned anyway. Thanks for the update.

DLLs will be pointless for Tier1 if it can not be multiplatform.

Maybe but it stops me from adding the 3d physics upgrade to AGK.
Considering there is only a hand full of users able to use Tier2 C++ that might
be able to make a DLL. There must be a way to add to AppGameKit that would make it multiplatform.

Nice,

Some very cool stuff coming up

Does DLL support mean we can use the Steam Api?

Yes - spin up a rest-full http server on localhost using whatever language and/or framework you like. Though obviously limited to Windows, Linux and OSX.

There is an excellent JSON solution here on the forums, I am using it and does everything I need. It's a module you can just drop into your project.

All good stuff.

Quote: "Call DLL commands for Windows: Using these commands developers can call dynamic link libraries from their AppGameKit BASIC source code. Developers of DLL’s can also interrogate AppGameKit and call its commands."

As it is Windows only, will we be able to use .NET to build DLLs, maybe the new .NET core is the best target for compatibility with iOS, Android and Linux in the future. Think about it, .NET core may be a less painful way to make the solution cross-platform.

If this will create a Tier 3 C# version, take my money and give my this

I know C# is not on the agenda but this and .NET would be really good for AGK.
Tier 3 might be a good name to call coding with it.

I have done some C++ Tier2 but have to admit I am liking C# at the minute as I am learning this and find it more flexible.

C# + .NET + AppGameKit = Powerful System!

I'd go with a c# version. Prefer a java version though.

The roadmap is great.

A lot of cools things will be added :
- dll commands for windows, could be very interesting to create tools. But it could be great to help to create game, example : a tool to create lightmap, to help create the level, shaders...

- 3D Shadows & 3D particles : it's great for 3D games.

- Video Adverts : cool !

- Box 2D enhancements : I don't know what are the extra commands, but it will be very interesting. I hope there will be a sort of slide-sprite ^^.

- Export to Windows, Mac & Linux from any platform: it's very cool too ! Could we export for ios too ?

- Load & Save Arrays : it's great too, for the save/load process for game or tools.


AppGameKit VR :I don't have VR, but I find it's a very interesting feature !

AppGameKit Studio : it's cool too, a tool to help us to create our game will be very attractive for new users (and old users like me ^^).

It is disappointing that some of the additional commands and extra functionality will be in the form of DLC. I would have hoped that the proposed "AppGameKit VR" commands would have been included as part of the core product.

Rick mentioned somewhere that Linux and OSX "dll's" (.so?) will also be available.
So I think we can develop them in mono.

Also, about the VR. Isn't that already possible with raw commands?

We can create mobile VR apps (using the devices accelerometer) , but the new addon will support Oculus Rift and HTC Vive. (Which Tier1 currently cannot do)

Thanks Mobiius, indeed. I forgot that Oculus and HTC Vive were in no way related to mobile

The implementation of an Entity-Component-System model is planned ?
It's something very practical for games development and proposed by a lot af games frameworks.

Thank you

Hi,

I have decided to retire this thread now. AppGameKit gets plenty of blog and news updates and so this thread is not really needed.
