Available Platforms

Editor Currently Available For: Windows (apple mac is in development)

Compiled Game Executable

Quick note regarding the playable generic executable files you can compile via the Visionaire Studio Editor: the game executable you export may or may not meet the required standards for certain distribution platforms & services such as the Steam or Apple/Mac App stores. You may need to have a custom build done of your game & thus: you should contact us at least 2-3 months before your planned release date to see whether or not you need us to create a custom build for you or not.

Funding Solutions

Crowdfunding: funding solutions such as [http://kickstarter.com kickstarter] & [http://indiegogo.com indiegogo] are allowed to be used for funding your indie & commercial games. Having said that; if you raise €50k or over, then we consider you a commercial developer & would appreciate it, if you wouldn't mind purchasing whatever commercial licenses you may require - to show us a little support. This is of course completely up to you, but we hold high hopes in our - err... - hearts & minds, that you aren't all miserable stingy bugrits!

Misc Info

Please note that you will need to purchase the necessary commercial licenses if you are: wanting to release your game as a physical product in stores, sell your game for more than €15; digital or physical, are making your game for advertising purposes & or are being funded by a publisher, company or individual that has nothing to do with you or your own company etc.

Please note that the Visionaire Studio Licenses are only for Visionaire Studio itself & do not give you the right to distribute copyrighted materials, resources & media formats etc of which you don't have the permission or license for. i.e: if you want to use .mp3 for your audio, then you need to acquire a license from wherever it is; it's all a bit complicated. To avoid having to purchase additional licenses: we recommend using .ogg (vorbis) for your audio & .mkv (matroska) with VP8 WebM codec for your videos as they are both free to use commercially.
