Games

Features

The engine's features were chosen carefully to make development of point & click adventures as easy and comfortable as possible while not getting in the way of the developer. Any game logic is written in C# enabling the broad range of .NET's capabilities. Great value was placed on having a testable architecture which allows to write tests that solve your whole game within just a fraction of a second and giving you immediate feedback if something doesn't work as expected.

• Entity Component System
• Testable architecture
• Walkable areas using a triangular mesh
• Pathfinding over game scenes
• Spine integration for skeletal animations
• Supported platforms: Windows, Linux, Mac OS
• Serializable game logic spanning multiple updates via .NET's IEnumerators
