What GameGuru MAX is
GameGuru MAX is a paid Windows game-development tool from GameGuru MAX, a maker founded in 1999 and headquartered in Northern England, United Kingdom. It provides visual scripting and multiplayer tools for creating games, with Lua listed as its scripting language. The product targets Windows and does not offer mobile or console export, so projects are intended for Windows output. Its source-code model is listed as source available. The plan is named GameGuru MAX, with no price shown. The stated requirements are Windows 10 or newer, at least 16 GB of RAM, and 30 GB of storage. These requirements define the supported environment for using the software. The platform listing identifies Windows only, while the maker’s information also identifies the target platform as Windows. GameGuru MAX is therefore positioned for developers who want visual scripting and multiplayer capabilities on a Windows computer, rather than a tool for exporting the same project to phones or consoles.
