Hi all,

For those of you who don't know, the TGC store is under new management. You'll still be able to purchase, 2D, 3D and audio media, and we are now pleased to support the purchase of AppGameKit 2 code snippets.

We know there are many budding and not so budding coders out there and if you've a routine that you think will be of use to others why not sign up as a store artist and get selling.

I'll be adding a few snippets I think will be of use to developers over the next few days and weeks and we're looking for coders like yourselves to add more and help expand the store into a truly excellent resource.

If you've any questions you can email me dave@tgcstore.net.

This sounds to me like someone has just signed the death warrant for the forum.
Up until now it has been an incredibly popular place for people to come to get help with their code. Once people realise they can get money for their code, many of them will stop giving it away for free.
The TGC community has had a good run but I think it is about to come crashing down!

Without the TGC community there is no TGC. Mark today in your calendars it is quite probably the beginning of the end

That's probably not the case at all. I think this is a great idea, and something which is available for for any other engine.

If somebody has put a lot of work into something, and it's a major help to you making your game, isn't that worth something? People will still share snippets of code and help each other out.

I have a pretty complex GUI system that I have been developing over quite a long period of time, this is the kind of thing I would buy from the store.

Hi,

I'm sure that users will still give code away for free just as they still give other media away for free. This is just another option.

Would it not be better to print the terms here for all to read.

I was wondering what the communities thoughts are on whether tier 2 code is worth
more then tier 1 code?

Which makes you think, if people are never going to find it, is it worth going to the trouble of putting assets on there anyway?

You should fix this if you want the store to succeed for AppGameKit stuff.

Supporting the community with a store is a nice + in my opinion. It shouldn't stop anyone sharing snippets they're happy to share for free, but will hopefully make it easier to find those snippets. Is it possible to submit "Free" snippets to the store? Is the store going to be moderated? Would hate to see it turn into another code-base (full of spam, and garbage).

free code and paid code have been around for a long time. having one doesn't stop the other.

Seems a good idea to me, you could have things like 2D platform engine code which would have a base for changing to your own liking etc.

Good idea I think.

I see this as a way to sell/share more complex systems. Short snippets belong here, but for example I would expect a game framework to be in the store.

How does this work

Meaning that we as individuals could be paid for our individually own code snippets that is added to the store so others might want to buy?

I created an item for sale, but when I wanted to change the zip file I couldn't.
I had to create a new one and set the old unavailable. The procedure could be easier or am I missing something?

I love puzzle and RPG games, so eventually in years to come - I might design a DIY puzzle game creator

- click and play puzzle game creator system

- Can create any kind of puzzles, from Tertis style games to Pac-Man style.

- level editor for it
- events and triggers to be able to assign properties to each object,
Can a sprite for rotation, scale, effects, path movement for your own sprites.

- A.I for the enemies - in built Path Finding techniques

- Title screen designer

- Scoring system - if a player object collides with a Jewel graphic object eg - then increate score by what ever amount

- Health,, AIR bars that trigger other things to occur if goes beyond certain level - like a flashing "Hurry!!!" when its close to empty

- In game pause screens

- Credit screens

So its would be like a game engine in built another game engine.

I have always often admired to do something like this, Maybe I could possibly sell the finished engine if its huge interest either on here or indeed
sell the whole game to the outside world.

It would only make PC games

Once a puzzle game as been created with the engine, it will compile to a file which the engine reads, to indeed play the created game

@George++

Items can't be edited once submitted for approval to prevent items being editing during the approval process. If you need to make changes, however, you can email me dave@tgcstore.net and I can remove the item from the queue for you. I'll need the items number and description.

@damothegreat

We don't currently support games on the store, although we do plan to do so in the future. The exact timeline for this is unknown as we are looking at various options, but we hope to support as many possible choices for game making, creating a true gateway for indie developers.

Thanks, I have noticed that.
Just a final note, I edited the description of the item.
Since it is not a major change, why should the product await for an approval again?
I am asking because my native language is not English, and I would like to change the description in order to be grammatically and syntactically correct in case of an error.

You sure don't make the store easy to find on the home page. It's not under the products menu up top, but you do list a tiny link under products at the bottom.

Wow! Didn't know there was an asset store for here too. I will definitely be checking it out. Even though I hire artists to do custom work for me I generally am always looking for good art assets to buy. Sounds like a great way to spend Christmas day just browsing the store and seeing what I can find. lol

We're always looking for new media, and the amount on the store grows more or less daily. We're expanding it to cover many new formats and support for other engines, so there's a lot going on.

Hi all,

We're planning a big store update soon, and as part of that, we'll be launching a new newsletter. (remember that the store is no longer directly affiliated with TGC, but does support TGC products). This won't simply be 'what's new' on the store, but will be aimed at game development across the board, featuring articles, interviews, tutorials, game previews, WIP reports, release news, etc, in essence, everything development related.

We're looking for contributions, anything you'd like to showcase, ideas, etc, basically let us know what you'd like to see.

So, if you've got anything to add, please email me at dave@tgcstore.net.

Thanks all, and I look forward to hearing from you.

Hi all,

Just a reminder that the latest newsletter has been released: https://www.tgcstore.net/newsletters

We'd also like to remind developers, that we are looking to move further into the field of game and app publishing. With the recent changes to Steam announced, some of our fellow developers might like to consider us. We offer free testing and approval and a generous commission.

If anyone has any questions, please feel free to email me; dave@tgcstore.net.

Thanks,
