An introduction to Visionaire Studio™ (top)
With Visionaire Studio: you can quite easily design & create your own point & click adventure game without any previous programming knowledge due to a short learning curve & the predefined actions, conditions & values already available via the "Select action part" pop-up box & tabs.
All it takes, is a bit of logical thinking to program the game; everything else is down to artwork, music & sound design.
For anyone who is familiar with LUA Script - or is willing to learn - will be able to create advanced functions & features for their games by using the internal LUA Script editor.
There are plenty of tutorials, project templates & lua script examples available via the forum & wiki for people to learn from; besides this manual.
Currently Visionaire Studio™ Adventure Game Engine editor is available to use on both Windows & Mac Operating Systems & finished games can be exported for both Windows & Mac OS; in the future we hope to add iOS & android platform build support to the export options!
