With this software, you can use six tools to manage everything from map fields, backgrounds, characters, and items to BGM and SFX to help create beautiful, original games from a wide variety of elements.

  1. Tool 1: Resources - Prepare and arrange image assets required for your game: On top of basic game elements such as image assets and sound assets like BGM/voice files, this tool also allows you to manage and implement fonts, mp4 video files, gif animated images, and any other assets required for game creation.

  3. Tool 3: Objects – Provide characters and items with various gimmicks: This is a tool used for managing the various gimmicks and other behaviors assigned to the main characters, enemies, items, and other objects populating the map field. Use it to make objects roll down slopes, bounce off of springs, and perform all sorts of behaviors made possible with the physics engine – all without any programming whatsoever.
  4. Tool 4: Animation – Enliven and enrich your graphics: This tool is used to manage the various images and elaborate animations used for each object. Use it to add effect and particle animations to make your game even more colorful and beautiful. Combine multiple particles to create action games with rich and detailed graphics.
  5. Tool 5: Scenes – Build stages using tiles and objects: With this tool, you can use the tiles and objects you’ve prepared to build the actual stages used in your game. Here you can easily configure camera locations and movements, various physics-based behaviors, and more.
  6. Tool 6: Transition – Connect scenes to bring your games into shape: Use this tool to connect respective scenes and bring the game to its complete form. Connects flows, create transitions, and designate points to move from scene to scene.
