Great news! We are launching App Game Kit (AGK) version 2 on STEAM today at 6pm GMT / 10am PST- so the easy to use, instant coding tool for beginners, hobbyists and indies alike is now available on the largest digital store in the world.

Now anyone can easily and quickly code and build apps for cross platforms using AGKs BASIC scripting system. With just a few commands users can have demos or games up and running on mobile devices. AGK also caters for more seasoned developers, allowing them to use the AGK C++ libraries and benefit from all the features of AGKs core game engine.

AGK is available for both Windows and Mac platforms and apps can be deployed cross platform including iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry and Mac – all at the very affordable price of just $99.

Bob Duffy, Developer Relations Intel Corporation, said “AGK is a great cross platform development tool. It allows developers to quickly optimise and compile apps for Intels x86 powered Android devices.”

The Game Creators Development Director, Rick Vanner, said “We’ve significantly improved AGK by making the IDE cross platform, speeding up the Compiler and adding new and powerful commands. Games can be developed and instantly deployed to their chosen mobile devices for rapid prototyping.”

AGK2 was funded by Kickstarter backers and many of them are already using this game maker to create and publish their own apps. Developing apps for multiple stores is still a big issue for app developers. AGK does all the heavy lifting for you - making it easy to code, compile and then export apps to each platform. All you need to focus on is your game/app idea.

Bundled with AGK2 is a retro style shooter game called Echoes+. Chris Jeffels, the author of Echoes+, coded the game once and deployed it for both Windows and Mac platforms. When asked why he chose AGK2 for his game engine he commented “AGK2 is multi-platform, powerful, feature rich and continuing to grow, it was an easy and affordable choice.”

AGK2 was used to develop Driving Test Success Theory, Hazard Perception and Highway Code apps for UK publisher Focus Multimedia. Once developed the apps were immediately deployed onto the IOS App Store, Google Play, Amazon, Mac Store and Blackberry World and quickly became the UK’s #1 ‘Learning to Drive’ apps.

Earlier this year Develop Magazine published a list of the top game engines. AGK was in the list. This is what they wrote;

App Game Kit is a cross-platform programming language which operates in BASIC or C++. By offering coders the means to write in open scripts, results can be created in minutes or customised to very specific needs.

The engine’s primary user base tends to be hobbyists. The Game Creators CEO Lee Bamber says they have built an enthusiastic forum community around AGK.

“Fragmentation is on the rise, and a modern engine must cater for multiple platforms and form factors as they emerge,” he says.

Bamber’s plans to add an advanced debugger, improved IDE features and more robust help.

He adds: “One of the biggest challenges is figuring out what the next big platform or form factor will be, and planning development to anticipate the inevitable demand from coders.

“We practically live on the cutting edge, and at this very moment we are looking at perceptual computing, virtual reality, variations on the Ultrabook and tablet themes, smart TVs and micro-consoles. Who knows what the future will bring?”
