Hey guys,

Super keen about AppGameKit studio, I feel like it's a big leap forward for the GC team and hats off continued innovation.

However - is there really any point buying agk studio if I'm for the most part just going to use the tier 2 framework and visual studio?

I read somewhere that sure, there will be some new commands and such i'll miss out on but I just can't justify the price point (even discounted) if I'm not in it for the editor.

Is there more to it?

Cheers
Blake

AGK Studio
will have the ability to chose from two different engines, the second of which is the new vulkan engine that's still under development
vulkan gives around 30% speed improvement over the engine AppGameKit classic uses. The newer Vulkan engine may not work on the older
machines but its a step forward as it opens up the ability to a much more powerful language with alsorts of improvements The newer
engine will be where improvements and commands will be added as the older agk classic will still get updates and fixes but there will
be development it will miss out on

I hope that helps
