Stop.

Not very sure where to go with this. Any help would be appreciated. Another question while I'm at it how effective is hoard with games?

You do not appear to have the full actual development tools installed. Try Visual Studio Community Edition.

If the game engine uses custom allocators, this will prevent Hoard from optimizing them. Which games were you considering?

[Matt-Is-Confused]

I am creating my own engine. I am not really sure as to how to properly use hoard for it though.

[emeryberger]

Were you able to resolve the nmake issue?

[Matt-Is-Confused]

yes. Thank you for your help.
