A GSC file may also be a scene file used by a 3D Groove Engine video game. It contains binary data used to load a scene and included in-game objects. GSC files are comprised of compiled Lua scripts and a custom header.
More Information
The 3D Groove Engine was a game development engine created and licensed by The Groove Alliance. The Groove Alliance and other developers used the 3D Groove Engine to create many original and licensed games. For example, many games included in Nickelodeon's online NickArcade, which starred Nickelodeon cartoon characters, were developed using 3D Groove.
Many 3D Groove Engine games use scenes saved as GSC files. These games also use 3D models saved as .3GM files.
