It is free to use, and may just be the ticket for you. The kit includes the runtime interpreter (Wintermute Engine, or WME) and GUI editors for managing and creating the game content (WME tools) as well as the documentation, demonstrational data and prefabricated templates. Wintermute Engine Development Kit is a set of tools for creating and running graphical “point&click” adventure games, both traditional 2D ones and modern 2.5D games (3D characters on 2D backgrounds). Here is the intro description fron the Wintermute site: a friend turned me on to it, and it is looking great for a project I am working on myself. so it depends how far you want to do with 3D.

Try Wintermute, it may be what you want, more 2 D than 3D, 3D chars with 2D background. here are sone ideas and commonly used engines both free and commercial, not sure the scale of your project, but included the commercial list for future ref just in case. What engine is used to make the game atlantis/myst/scratches ? currently im using the A6 3Dgamestudio for about 8 years now, and i know it's not the thing i want for the game im gonna make. but besides that i can program a lot of languages as well, and i wouldnt mind learning a new one either. The artwork is no problem, using maya for 2 years now, and i simply love designing levels (got my schoomates to design characters, i totally suck at that, lol). I love to play Adventure games, especially the old point and click ones like atlantis, myst and the recently made scratches (love that kind of style).Īnyway, im doing game design at school (second year now) and i gotta make a game for my final this year, so I decided i am gonna go for a P&C game, just like atlantis.īut i found out, Flash is kinda crappy to make this in (it doesnt has the feeling of 3D movement those games have) so i was wondering, is there anybody out here who can tell me what program/engine is used to make these kind of game nowadays ? My name is Dennis, and im new to these forums.
