| − | == An introduction to Visionaire Studio™ [[#top|(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 [http://visionaire-studio.net forum] & [//wiki.visionaire-tracker.net 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!
