IMPORTANT NOTICE: DLC Price Changes
Following this sale, we'll be increasing the base price of all of our current DLC Kits (MMORPG, 3D FPS / Survival Horror and Point & Click Adventure). The reason for this is because we plan on introducing new asset DLC in the future and realised that the template DLC we currently provide is undercut considerably, when you stop to consider just how much content is provided. We also didn't factor in just how much on-going support work would be involved.
If you want to grab these DLC Kits at their lowest price, then now is the time to do so!
NEW Version: v1.020.002
We've also updated 001 Game Creator to v1.020.002. This update mostly consists of bug fixes and minor additions (some of which we've highlighted below). You can see the full change log here: https://www.engine001.com/changes.htm
NEW "Used Item" Trigger - a new Actor trigger that executes whenever an Actor uses any Item, with optional Equipment Area and Item filters. This trigger can take advantage of our Item Constants feature that we added in the last version! See our previous announcement for details on how Item Constants work.
NEW Audio Conversion - right-clicking an audio file (from within the Sounds and Music window) and selecting "Effects" will bring up a new audio conversion window that allows users to convert any audio to OGG or WV format. This is particularly useful when developing HTML5 and mobile games where MP3/MIDI files aren't supported.
UPDATED JDK for Android - we've made Android building work with JDK 8, instead of relying on an outdated (and no longer supported) version.
We've also updated Android building to target Android 8.0.0 (API Level 26) to coincide with new Google Play requirements effective August 2018.
Until Next Time...
We hope you enjoy these version changes and are understanding for our reasons for increasing DLC Kit prices. We have plenty of new content just over the horizon and we look forward to sharing details of those with you soon!
