I'm proud to announce that the GameCore 2.5 Release Candidate is now available. This is primarily a test release to ensure that everyone's content / projects migrate properly to the new release.
Click to Download GameCore 2.5 Release CandidatePlease install GameCore 2.5 to a 'clean' directory (ie do not install it overtop of an older GameCore release).An 'Official' release will be posted as soon as possible assuming all goes according to plan with this build.
As well, the 2.5 Mac installer will be posted as soon as possible once we get a few minor issues finished up with that version.
A short list of some (but not all) of the new features included in this release:
- Completely new 'Multiplayer Racing' game template, based off of the Truck Off game. If you are not familiar with Truck Off, please check it out:
FaceBook edition:

http://www.Web3D.com/truckoffTruck off features the recently rewritten GameCore networking code that does automatic syncing of player actions & physics across the network, revamped NAT traversal, player stats, leaderboards and much more. All of the functionality of the game is included in the Multiplayer Racing template for you to dissect and use in your own projects.
- new 'Island Demo' example game. This example will be fleshed out over the near future, but is designed to be more of a simple 'test' environment that you can use to load your models into to experiment with. A simple terrain, first person character & vehicle are included as a starting point for testing your own content.
We'll be posting much more news, tutorials and examples about the 2.5 release over the days & weeks to come.
Enjoy! This is a huge release for us and we hope that you like it ;}
