Here you can find Visionaire Studio demo projects that you can use as templates for your own games. They may contain comments, but they are usually not extensively documented like our tutorials. They're working examples of certain concepts to "reverse-engineer" and learn from.

If you have created your own demo project and would like to see it added to that list, please tell us on our Discord or in the forum.

IMPORTANT: The creators of the templates shared their work to help you build your own games. Any resources (images, graphics, sounds, videos etc.) included in the projects are copyright protected though – unless stated otherwise. DO NOT USE THEM FOR ANYTHING ELSE BUT THE DEMO THEY COME WITH!
