TGC has announced the forum is closing Feb 10 2025.
https://www.thegamecreators.com/post/tgc-account-system-retirement

It's believed at this time that the forums will remain available in read only mode for some time.
This means we don't know how long they will remain available, if at all.
Nobody will be able to download attachments, because that requires a login.

Where the community will continue:
I have setup a subreddit, with downloadable resources, addons, etc:
https://old.reddit.com/r/DarkBasicDev/
Everyone is welcome! All products!

SyntaxBomb has an active forum for AppGameKit:

TGC is running a Discord Server for AppGameKit:

TGC is running a Discord Server for GameGuruMax:

Call To Action - Help Wanted!
It is important that we gather up every plugin, every download we can before they become lost forever.
This includes files for other products like FPSC, DarkGDK, AppGameKit, Everything.
Please reach out on the subreddit and other places to be helpful. It matters!

The subreddit has Dark Basic Professional, DarkGDK, and FPSC files posted.
A few important guides for AppGameKit are there.
We hope to expand on this as we are still curating some of the files.

I don't have knowledge of the other TGC products and I'll need help finding and posting files worth preserving on the subreddit.

We need to make sure we can find each other after this and that we keep resources available!
Please help!

Forum Backups
A partial backup of the forum now exists, and is posted to the subreddit.
https://www.reddit.com/r/DarkBasicDev/comments/1ij4nsc/tgc_forum_backups_appgamekit_darkbasic_more/
The threads can now be searched and recalled offline.
Please spread this far and wide!


Special Thanks to those that helped and continue to help!

Thanks everyone! May we continue to be a community. Please reach out on the subreddit any time.
There are a few forum options such as Teabone's forum or maybe Syntax Bomb will open up space.
At least the subreddit is there to link things together and offer helpful, findable resources!

It has been an amazing 20+ years. It is sad to see an era end.
I guess we won't be getting that DBP patch we always were asking about!

Thank you so much and may the best be yet to come!
Good Luck!
