Many people may want to create their own adventure games. A tool like Adventure Game Studio is just what they need to complete this task.
Adventure Game Studio is a powerful application that will help you create and test your own adventure games. The games that you can design will be in the style of those 90’s Sierra point and click games like Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers.
With Adventure Game Studio you can cover any aspect of your game: manage the GUIs, create items, make dialogs, design characters, determine views, choose the sounds and customize the cursors. Furthermore you can also edit the scripts that the game will use.
One of the things which I liked about this program is that it allows you not only to create your game, but also to debug and test it. The compiler will provide you with handy hints inserted in the error messages that it displays, helping you quickly understand what caused the glitch.
Another important advantage for Adventure Game Studio is its support system. Firstly the application comes with a demo game that you can modify, in order to get familiar with the functions that the application provides. Moreover, there are many tutorials that will assist you in solving your tasks and an active forum community, which will provide the answers that you are seeking.
Personally, I think that Adventure Game Studio is a handy tool for people who are trying to create their own games. Although the numerous features that the program offers might seem a bit overwhelming at first, its extensive functionality and efficiency make up for this small flaw. Furthermore, this application is distributed free of any charge, so there is no reason not to try it out.
