A New Chapter Begins
We are thrilled to announce that GameGuru MAX, AGK Studio, GameGuru Classic, and all associated game development intellectual properties have officially been acquired from TheGameCreators by Dark Basic Software Limited. The transfer, finalized in May 2025 and announced in June 2025, marks the beginning of an exciting new era for our game-making communities!
This seismic change will refocus our development efforts moving forward, with a greater emphasis on product improvement, community involvement, and building on our ecosystem of contributors. We've been very fortunate to have had the support of passionate, highly experienced contributors over the years, and we feel this is a great way for a small team to build a great product.
So what does this mean for our loyal users? Nothing changes, except for the better! You’ll continue to get your quarterly updates and regular news on progress. The only difference you’ll notice is a renewed energy behind the scenes, including:
- Faster development cycles
- Quicker and more responsive bug fixes
- More frequent updates
- New features and enhancements rolled out with greater consistency
- A tighter feedback loop with the community
So, what does the team behind Dark Basic Software Limited say? Well, this is more than a business decision; it’s about renewing the energy behind the development effort, creating the space and freedom necessary to deliver the kind of tools we always dreamed of for indie developers and creators. We’re excited to share this news with our community and can’t wait to show you what’s coming next!
Looking ahead, we’re already hard at work on several exciting updates, and this new structure allows us to move faster and listen closer than ever before. GameGuru MAX is entering a new phase of evolution, and the journey is just beginning. Thank you for being part of one of the longest-standing (and long-suffering) game-making communities out there :)
Here's to the future, let’s build it together!
