GameGuru and GameGuru Loader

We're always being asked if you can take a GameGuru game and run it on an Android or an iOS device. It used to be the case that GameGuru was a Windows PC only product and you need at least Windows 7 or above to run it.  However, we now have an alternative solution in the form of a product called GameGuru Loader, a DLC that comes with another of our products, AppGameKit, which takes a GameGuru scene and runs them on your favorite iOS and Android device.

The process is relatively simple and starts off in GameGuru by creating a level using the stock and custom assets to create your scenery, player, enemies, objects and overall level design. You then save your level and switch over to GameGuru Loader which takes this level and converts it into a series of files that are suitable for cross-platform development and, finally you create a small program in AppGameKit to load these files and display your scene.

The benefit of running this in AppGameKit is that you can then load and view your GameGuru level on Windows, Mac, iOS, and Android. We say 'load and view' because the actual logic of your game will not be transferred over, just the assets and level layout. This is where your journey as a true games programmer begins, for those who want to take the next step.

If you are familiar with The Game Creators range of game-making products, you will know that our spectrum of products appeals to different users, from a zero-coding approach for making RPG Action games with MyWorld, scripted first-person shooters with GameGuru or full-blown programming with AppGameKit. Something for everyone!
