Quickly create point-and-click games and virtual tours for Windows (native), PSP, iPhone and iPod Touch (web apps)! No programming required - very easy to use! Free edition contains all the main features Includes free drawing tool and music composer
I love this engine, it's perfect for beginners or for devs who want to focus on storytelling more than visuals.
Pros:
Easy to use, flexible, allows to create quickly all kinds of Myst-like games, possibility to add water/smoke animated effects, included 360 panorama plugin, a lot of help provided on the website makes it easy to learn simple lines of code in VisualBasic even for non-programmers (you can also create games without a single line of code!)
Cons:
Outdated engine, no high resolution supported, slow and sometimes unstable when running games with a lot of features (such as 360° views), not possible to release standalone games (manual installation is a necessity). Additionnally it would seem that there is no more support from the developer?
You understod from my review: despite the cons listed, I really enjoy the time I spend everytime with Adventure Maker, which made it possible to me to create my first commercial game, ASA: A Space Adventure. I'm still using it from time to time!
