## About This Software
Welcome to GameGuru, game making for everyone. Our mission is to create the
easiest and most enjoyable game creator. Join us and our great & enthusiastic
community on this journey. Imagine creating a world that you and your friends
come together and play... and creating it could be a matter of minutes with no
technical jiggery-pokery needed at all! Of course, you can happily spend
hours, days..even weeks creating your masterpiece, the great thing about
GameGuru is, you won't be held up by learning strange alien languages or using
complex modeling tools. The time you spend with GameGuru is all about creating
and having fun whilst doing it.

When you first launch GameGuru, it may appear to be a simple level editor, but
it's actually crammed with lots of useful tools you will need to make your own
game, including a character creator, model importer, building maker, complete
scripting language and of course, over 6GB of complimentary game assets to get
you started. The fact it's as easy as any in-game level editor is a plus, and
unlike level editors, you get to save out what you've made and even sell your
game!

We've created a small game level for you to play and enjoy, which shows you
how you might lay out your level, and balance the combat to give the player a
challenging experience. You can, of course, edit this level any way you wish
and learn from an existing demo level rather than start completely from
scratch. We believe there is nothing on the market which enables you to create
and share a 3D game as quickly as GameGuru, thanks to a massive starter
collection of assets, our easy drag and drop approach and built-in game logic
so you don't need to code it yourself (unless you want to).

GameGuru offers you an easy yet comprehensive game creation process that is
open to non-programmers and designers/artists, or anyone who aspires to become
a game creator. It also has powerful editing tools for those who want to take
their game creation to an even greater and more complex level. The power is
there at your fingertips.

As a welcome bonus, we have also included an expansion pack with over 2.8 GB
of additional game assets for you to get started, completely free! In fact,
all the art you see in the screenshots above are included in GameGuru and you
are free to include them in your games, no strings attached. We do sell
additional content DLCs, but with over 6,000 megabytes of game assets already
crammed into GameGuru, the DLCs are entirely optional.

You just need to follow these easy steps - welcome to the world of game
creation!

_Choosing Your Game Engine_

GameGuru is not designed to compete with professional development tools such
as Unity, Unreal and Cry-engine which are ideally suited to producing
commercial apps and games. GameGuru is a recreational game maker, not a
professional tool, and is still very much in development. GameGuru is
unsuitable for serious game development projects at this time, and we highly
recommend you visit the forums and ask many questions before you make a
decision on the game making tool for you.
