Adventure Maker

Adventure Maker is a free innovative toolkit to create point-and-click games and multimedia software in minutes, without any scripting or programming. It runs on Windows, and it allows creating software for Windows, PSP, iPhone, and iPod touch.

Adventure Maker is extremely easy to use. All you have to do is to import your pictures, add some hotspots to link the pictures to one another, and you are done!

Adventure Maker is particularly suitable for the creation of picture-based adventure games, virtual tours, educational software, presentations, and interactive visits.

When creating software for Windows, Adventure Maker provides "Load/Save Game" functions, conversations, inventory items, 360-degree interactive panoramas, support for Flash, multiple-CD distribution, third-person game characters for creating third-person adventure games, full-screen transitions, water/smoke effects, multi-channel sounds, animations, support for over 30 file types (OGG, XviD, DivX, mp3...), support for plugins, and more.

The Adventure Maker package contains an icon editor, a music composer, an innovative program for drawing, a program for batch resizing and compressing pictures, and more. The package also includes sample games, tutorials, and language presets for easily creating games in other languages (English, Catalan, Dutch, French, German, Hungarian, Italian, and Spanish).

It is possible to evaluate the advanced features of the Full Edition (360-degree panoramas, third-person sprites, plugins, scripting, Flash, ActiveX components, etc.) from within the Free Edition (download). Just launch the Free Edition and you will notice that the buttons that belong to the Full Edition are grayed but you can still click on them (for projects with less than 20 frames). You can even create your own plugins. Please note that some features are available only when creating software for the Windows platform (in the Project Properties, set the "target platform" to "Windows" to access all the features).
