Its been a while since I last blogged an update, and after a bout of illness I'm back! With an update:
2D GUI HUD Creator will be available next week.
2D GUI HUD Creator will help you to rapidly create 2D GUI and HUDs for your game using a library of stock artwork and effects. Most of the artwork within the library can be combined with other library elements to create and enhance on even more designs.
2D GUI HUD creator helps to increase the productivity workflow by saving you valuable time/money and if you're no artist it will help you to create a basic or professional looking GUI or HUD in no time at all.
You can combine elements together, add a glow/drop shadow/bevel/alpha or color filter effect and export your results into a transparent PNG file and with a licence to use them in your own games. Alternatively, you can save your work into a temporary template to use later.
Take a look at the screenshots below (just some of the artwork elements shown are included; in kit form) just add, drag and drop to create.
Ok, Ok.. loving it, but what about the cost?
The launch price at version 1.0 of 2D GUI HUD Creator will be just $29.99 (full price $49.99) for Indie Game Developers.
More good news! Any NEW stock artwork added to the Creator versions will be a free update. This means that as we sell more and more licences, we'll keep adding more artwork and licence holders will continue to benefit from this. On the official website launch there will be a breakdown list of all the available artwork components in the library and walkthrough video tutorials on how each artwork category is put together.
Is there a version with more tools, bells and whistles in the future?
There is a Designer version in the works, however this will not be a free upgrade. There will be an upgrade path and it will be for those that want to create their own custom elements with an advanced toolset, or enhance on the existing library of artwork. No fixed date for release yet. Keep an eye out for a future blog.
Does it create the scripts for my game?
No. 2D GUI HUD Creator is more of an artwork tool with a large library of art resources in drag and drop kit form (If you can't do art? Want to save yourself some time/money, or quickly prototype your game? Then this is for you!). There are plenty of script resources on the GG site that you can use it with, and from time to time we'll release some of our own scripts and tutorials to help you. In many cases, you may already have the code in place.. all you need to do is update the artwork.
Other News
Stay tuned for a Game Ranking System (GRS) and Game Membership & Management (GMMS) update, they will be around the corner with Torque v1.2 support and further enhancements. Apologies to those who have been waiting for a GMMS update - it has been long overdue, and you will get a copy of 2D GUI HUD Creator free for being so patient.
Thanks.
