New Wintermute Engine Update

by Amber on October 5th, 2007

Oh, so you don’t know what the Wintermute Engine is? Well, I’ll tell you. It’s a programming engine that you can use to create your own adventure games. Why? Because creating adventure games is fun! And when you create your own adventure games, people like me might talk about you! Maybe the “about” section of the Wintermute website will give you a better idea of what it’s all about. Check it:

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). 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.

There are lots of reasons why you might want to check out Wintermute if you’re into developing your own games. Let’s take a look at some features, shall we?

• Rendering subsystem
• Development tools
