Visionaire Studio is an adventure game engine, which allows developers & artists to create point & click adventure games with ease.
Easy-to-use Editor
The editor is a very straightforward & logic based tool, which allows developers to visually create & design their games, as opposed to having to program them - in the classic sense. In theory: you could potentially create a game of commercial caliber, without having to type a single line of code; the caliber part is up to you, the developer mind. All it requires, is a bit of logical thinking to program the game; everything else is down to artwork, music & sound design.
On the other hand: Visionaire Studio is not all about the simple things of life; such as: what side of the bed, one should get out of bed in the morning, or which side of bread to butter. No, far from it in fact as: besides the available in-editor action parts & functions, we also have a built-in text editor which allows you to enhance your game further, by typing up custom functions & scripts in various programming languages. Visionaire Studio actually comes with multiple Lua script functions, already included.
Resources, Help & Support
There are plenty of tutorials, project templates & lua script examples available via this wiki for people to learn from. Support is available via the forum and our Discord; so just pop on over, create a thread, & ask away.
