Hello! I have a question for anyone in the know. I just purchased AppGameMaker Studio and never had the classic version. I also want to get GameGuru Loader, as I've heard this is working with Studio, too. However, Steam will not allow me to purchase GG Loader without already owning AppGameMaker Classic (which I don't want to purchase since I have Studio). So, two questions:

1 - Does anyone know if there is a way to get GG Loader without having to first purchase AppGameKit Classic?
2 - Is it confirmed that GG Loader does or will work with AppGameMaker Studio (I heart there may be some issues with Vulkan and you have to fall back to OpenGL)?

Any help with this would be much appreciated. Thanks.

I can tell you its not 100% compatible yet hence not available for Appgamekit Studio.
As far as i know there is no other way of purchasing at the moment but until it works there isnt much point anyway unless you have classic.

Thanks, synchromesh. I had read this on the Steam discussion about GG Loader and AppGameKit Studio (posted by Rick from The Game Creators):



In any case, I will wait and hope that an updated version of GG Loader will be released in the future. Thanks again.

You used to be able to get it from preben directly, perhaps message him and see if he can still sell it, not sure if tgc own the rights or not now.

Yes I agree with an updated GG Loader, I wourld love to see a start-menu with an options menu in it. So We all have to write to Preben and tell that We want some new stuff...

Thanks everyone. I just PM'd Preben.

To make GameGuru Loader work in Studio, Just add this line to the top of the main.agc

#renderer "Basic" // This will choose the OpenGL renderer.

It will nearly look the same but will still have some UV scale problems (mainly terrain will display smaller then normal).

And yes there will be a upgrade that fully support Studio.

But for now you can use the "old" OpenGL to render the scenes.

You can order the "download" version directly from TGC:

After that you will be able to download it directly from TGC.

Mr Love: If you look at the included game "PBRDEMO" (it include the game project and full source code and media) it will show how to make a load screen , and have a button to start the game. You can add it like this.

I know its not a good game but was mainly made to show:

How to make a loading screens.
How to add graphics buttons , also to mobile version for fire and navigation.
How to add progress/level up menu or screens to your game.
How to use PBR media in your games.
How to add physics to your game.
How to display text to the player.
How to make a small score system.
How to do a level up / progress , and assign a new task to the player.
