The Game Creators have released App Game Kit version 2 (http://www.appgamekit.com/). App Game Kit lets developers use BASIC or C++ to create games for mobile devices. The version 2 release adds new features including animated 3D features, Bullet physics support and Assimp 3D model format importing.

AppGameKit is available for Mac OS X, Windows, and Linux platforms and apps can be deployed cross platform including iOS, Android, Windows, Blackberry, Mac and Linux. The “pay once, royalty free” price has been reduced to US$79.

Alongside this release are four new DLCs that complement the core AppGameKit product. There are two detailed user guides designed and written to take any novice coder and turn them into an expert game developer. Written by educationalist Alistair Stewart, the Guides are available in two versions; the Official AppGameKit Beginners Guide ($29.99) for novice users, and the Official AppGameKit User Guide ($39.99) covering more programming subjects.

To aid developers, two Giant Asset Packs are also being launched today. They’re packed with sprites, backdrops and sample demo projects. Users can incorporate any of the assets into their projects for $19.99 each.
