We will be updating to GME version 0.8.9 on Monday, August 5th. This update involves moving from Unreal Engine 4 to Unreal Engine 5, which allows for increased performance, graphics, and gameplay.

If you are unable to complete this before Monday, don't worry! A public branch of the old version of GME will be available on Steam, allowing you to save your maps at a later time. To save your maps, follow these steps: 1. Open your map in GME 2. Click on the "Options" icon 3. Select "Save" as you normally would 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for all maps you wish to port over 5. Save backups of all your maps As an additional safety measure it is recommended to save a copy of all your map FOLDERS to a seperate loc…

The feature can be turned off and on by each player individually. - A bug was removed where deleting such an object would leave a residue grid in the world. - To update the grid after changing objects in other ways (moving, scaling, etc.), the grid needs to be turned off and on again (for performance reaso…

Prop Importing with Simple Shapes You can now also use Simple Shapes to import your own Props in the FBX, OBJ or STL format. To do so, control-click a simple shape and hit the little red button at the top, then follow the instructions.
