Early Access Software

Get involved with this software as it develops.

Note: This Early Access software is not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to use this software in its current state, then you should wait to see if it progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Game engines are complicated - especially niche game engines! What is the right balance of features that keeps the engine simple, accessible, and intuitive - yet allows editors to build the ARPG of their dreams? We are building the engine that we always wanted to build loot-packed, retro-style experiences. But we want it to be the engine that YOU always wanted too! Help us release and improve the features that help people like you make amazing games.”

Approximately how long will this software be in Early Access?

“Our current "minimum loveable product" roadmap to v1 is less than one year long. At that point we will likely consider the engine "released". But we have a ton of features we want to continue to add long into the future if we gain the community interest and support to keep investing in the engine!”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The Early Access release is capable of making and playing ARPG games. We expect Early Access to help us improve stability and reliability, and identify exciting features that the community cares about. The full version is expected to be the Early Access version but with more stability, quality of life, and potentially features that were highly requested by our community.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access engine offers an Animation Editor, Item Editor, Quest and Dialog Editor, and Map Editor that allow game designers to fully build, package, and ship a pixely ARPG game. The Early Access version is expected to have bugs, stability issues, and unimplemented features as we test and improve the features on our roadmap!”

Will this software be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to gradually raise the price as we add and improve engine features.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan to gather feature requests, content requests, bug reports, and quality-of-life complaints that help us guide our development investment into the features the community cares about the most.”

About This Software

You want to make an Action RPG, but complex game engines and programming aren't your thing? AirPig gives you all the tools you need to create and animate characters, write quests, design tons of loot, and playtest your game with your friends immediately!

AirPig is a code-free, niche game engine designed for a single purpose: make pixely ARPG games with tons of loot without worrying about complex engine configuration, programming languages, or frame-by-frame animation. It offers immediate visual feedback that helps you build great animations, interesting maps, and engaging games.

BUILD YOUR OWN MAPS

AirPig's tile-based, auto-mapping system allows editors to focus on map geometry and layout instead of which tile to place at a specific corner. Quickly sketch out rooms, passages and paths and let the editor automatically handle collision, NPC navigation, and layering so you can focus on the creative process.

Once you have created maps, define spawn zones, patrol zones, transition areas to other maps. Add buildings, NPCs, monsters, and containers full of loot for players to explore, fight, and equip!

ANIMATE YOUR OWN CHARACTERS

Animate pixely, 2D characters the way professional 3D artists do: by posing characters at keyframes and automatically animate between poses! Define collision frames, sounds, and particle effects in the animation editor and get immediate visual and audio feedback. Create attractive animations in a fraction of the time it would take to hand draw frames - and use the animations and characters that come with the engine as a reference to develop your own style!

WRITE YOUR OWN STORY

Write quests, associate items and rewards, chain quest dependencies together, and then assign quests to an NPC right in the editor. Drop NPCs into the map, choose their clothes and gear, write their dialog, and give them quests and patrol routes. Playtest with a single click to refine your story and experience.

Create cutscenes and customize the UI to tell give your game a unique vibe. Export all of your quests and dialog to edit or bulk update with your favorite tool.

CREATE YOUR OWN LOOT

Define weapons, armor, and skills. Set pricing ranges, custom animations, attack speeds, and more. Preview how items and attacks will look immediately without leaving the item editor.

Export your items and bulk edit or customize them in your favorite spreadsheet or other game design tool and import them back into the engine to preview and customize.

PACKAGE YOUR OWN CARTRIDGE

When you're finished, let AirPig package your game experience into a digital cartridge file you can share with your friends, or sell commercially! Play and test other creators' content or even develop and share reusable assets.

(NOTE: Digital cartridges require the AirPig game engine to load and play!)
