Create your own professional quality videogames without any programming or scripting using a simple yet powerful drag-and-drop interface. With the Shoot Em Up Kit a simple game can be created in just a few seconds while lighting, camera views, behaviours, physics settings, shaders, particle effects and AI can be created and modified to fine-tune a complex game. Royalty-free stand-alone executables can be can be created for you to sell or share with the community.

Technical Features

Engine
Direct9 engine, using XAudio2 for audio
Support for user-created HLSL shaders; both model and post-process shaders
Default shader supports: diffuse textures, normal mapping, specular mapping, cube mapping, ambient lighting, point lights, spotlights, and directional lights
Users can use their own models (x or obj format), textures, shaders, sound effects or music
Bone based (Skinned) 3D animation

Sprites
Create sprites from images in many formats (bmp, jpeg, png, tga, dds, dib, and more)
Display in 2D or 3D space
Billboard Sprites
Animation

Particles
2D and 3D particles
Control how particles appear over their lifetime - vary speed, colour, or opacity, for example
Particles can use Physics effects, and can collide with other objects

Lights
Point, Directional, Spotlights and Ambient lighting
Unlimited lights can be placed in a scene
Up to 8 active lights

Levels
Multiple levels per game
Many settings for customising Player, NPC, Weapon and Bullet behaviours – including Speed, Inertia, Friction, Maximum ammunition, Rate of Fire, Bullet distance, etc.
Tags can be placed on any entity to identify interesting points, such as thrusters or the position of a gun
Sky boxes (Cubemap or custom model)
Collision: Sphere, Box, Cylinder, Custom model. Pixel-perfect collisions
Camera: Static, Follow Entity, Rotate in place, Move along spline, Transition effects, FOV
Triggers. Link triggers to other items to allow a trigger to activate an enemy, for example; or choose pre-defined events (Kill Player, Game Over or Level Complete)
Timers. Count up or down. Like Triggers, Timers can also be linked to other items, and contain pre-defined effects
Checkpoints. Options to respawn enemy, reset timers, etc, if the player returns to a checkpoint

Formations of NPCs. Formations may have their own AI behaviours
Splines can be placed and used by NPCs or the Camera. Splines can also be drawn as part of the scene
Ground planes can be placed for the Physics system
Multiple Level Complete criteria
Use Gizmos to move, rotate and scale objects
Undo and Redo changes
Copy and Paste items for quick editing

Input
Keyboard, Mouse, DirectInput compatible Joystick, Xbox360 controller
Support for soft-controls for touch-screen devices
Tilt sensors are supported for player controls

AI
Many types of ‘micro-behaviours’ (MoveTo, Chase, Evade, Fire, Wait) which can be combined to produce more sophisticated behaviours
Each micro-behaviour has a number of properties which allow the user to fine tune the behaviour

Physics
Uses nVidia’s PhysX physics simulation software
Compatible with PhysX remote debugger
Set mass, static and dynamic friction, linear and angular damping, and more

Sound
Streamed audio (ogg)
Sound effects (ogg, wma and wav) in stereo or 3D audio
Properties such as Panning, Range, Volume, Pitch variation and Looping
Support for subtitles
Control how often sounds are used or repeated

Behaviour Editor
Create custom events and behaviours using a drag-and-drop interface
Behaviours can be created which will be triggered by many different in-game events
Any properties of the game or an entity can be used or modified
Use an object-oriented approach for ease-of-use

Front End and HUD
Customise many types of Front End pages
Easily link text or graphics to data from the game to create health bars, for example
