SkyBox: The AppGameKit Classic version supports a fully moving sky option. You can set the Horizon Colour value which is used by the fog to naturally fade.

Platforms: This DLC is for the Windows platform only. The GameGuru Loader source code can also be used on Mac & Linux platforms but the converter tool is currently only for Windows. There is documentation that explains how to convert on Mac & Linux manually using a third-party tool called xnconvert.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Most of the default media included in GameGuru will work out of the box in GameGuru Loader. Some objects that are not yet supported by AppGameKit Classic might have to be converted or changed in order for them to work correctly in AppGameKit.

This is sold “as is” with no guarantees, you receive the source code and are able to modify it as you wish; you can add missing functions or change the current function to fit your needs. As this is source code you must know AppGameKit Tier 1 BASIC Script in order to use it and make your games.

Sadly, there is absolutely no guarantee that you will be able to make every possible level display and work well on mobile devices. Most mobiles are restricted in memory and CPU/GPU speed compared to PCs. Smaller levels might be able to work if you use the reduced media and use the very lowest settings within GameGuru Loader. As mobile devices get faster and have more available memory you will be able to process larger levels and use better quality settings. GameGuru Loader already allows you to scale the quality up and down.

GameGuru Loader will continue to be improved in line with any developments made with GameGuru and we will release updates to you as they are developed.
