Surprised that there are no references to this game designer in Habré, even though it is at the beta stage. It is notable primarily for the possibility of cooperative game development; support for platforms Windows, Mac Os, Linux; launching games in the browser (html5, WebGL) and other goodies. (There are a lot of pictures under the cut)

Demonstration of opportunities:


Developed by CraftStudio on MonoGame , the beta release took place on April 4th of this year.
At once I will make a reservation that the project is commercial. Without a premium account, launching a game from the designer does not work out, the issue price is $ 20 +.

The interface, unlike most similar designers, is intuitive and extremely simple. When you first start, not even the sophisticated can start making your HalfLife 3 with solitaire and princesses. But, first of all, the positioning of the constructor as a means for collective development stands out. There is an internal chat, distribution of roles, the ability for other users to monitor the progress of development.


In addition, an interesting fact is the presence of multiplayer games created with “one click” launching a local server on your machine.

All development is carried out inside the editor, there is pixel texturing, modeling, texture mapping, animation, creating scenes, creating your own fonts, etc.


For writing scripts Lua language is used, as an alternative - a visual code designer.

The result: a simple game editor with no "problems" and graphic delights. It will help beginners not only in learning how to program games, but also in teamwork.
But, it's still beta. Some functions are not available, sometimes bugs appear, the Russian translation is far from complete and with stuck. There are no shaders, regdol (although there is a physical engine), even there are no shadows.

You can watch it and touch it with your hands for free by downloading from off. site (you need to register to start). However, you won't be able to launch a hand-written game without a premium account .
In return, for those interested, a more detailed description is available on the project website (in English).
