First released to Steam in early access back in March of 2022, the easy to use GameGuru MAX game engine v1 was finally released. This game engine is built on top of the open source C++ powered Wicked Engine (learn more here) and has added several critical features since the initial early access launch, such as the ability to build a redistributable executable version of your game, as well as a new tool for creating interior environments. They also made the decision to release the engine’s source code.
