The only thing you need is some creativity and imagination, and after a bit of playing around with the programme you will soon see your first results!



The main purpose of Visionaire is to empower fans of adventure games to create their own games, without requiring extensive programming skills. Therefore Visionaire provides a huge set of existing "Actions" that can be combined in all imaginable ways. This allows people to develop there own games without writing a line of code.



Visionaire Editor

The visual editor of the “Visionaire Studio“ authoring system was created with a clear layout and intuitive user interface in mind. There are several tools available, eg. animation studio, voice over studio, tool to set walking areas, etc; these tools empower the game designer to work visually and achieve exactly what he/she has in mind.



The editor provides a complete Undo system which allows to undo each and every working step. The straight-forward way system tool allows to define areas where the characters are allowed to move, and to assign the size for the character depending on the position on the scene.



Easy Handling, Flexibility and Scripting Language

Visionaire offers an easy to use and very flexible action system. Even users without programming skills can master all situations of a usual game. Beyond this action system, Visionaire provides even more flexibility by the integrated Lua scripting language. Using this scripting language you can master even the most complex action tasks.



Screen Resolutions

Visionaire Studio supports basically all reasonable screen resolutions that meet the demands of a retro game but also top-notch adventure games. Even wide screens always use the correct width-to-height ratio.



Speed

Visionaire Studio uses OpenGL hardware acceleration to achieve the most optimal speed. Furthermore there are several clever mechanisms that accomplish the best performance during loading resources and during the game.



Beside this the game designer is given even more individual options to fine-tune the performance of his/her game. For example you can tell the system to remove animations from memory once you know that they will not be used in the game anymore, and you can also preload sprites and animations at a time when it fits the game play.



Data management and export options

Visionaire Studio provides many ways to export data and allows you to work freely with your data. You can publish your game in one or several packages, optionally arranged by scenes, characters, etc. This allows easy distribution and patching of your game. You can also export the texts of a game in several file formats... eg to provide voice over actors with their texts that they should dub.



Game control

The system provides a flexible interface system which allows as many different interfaces for commands, place holders, switches and much more. This supports basically all interface systems of well-known adventure games.



Supported file formats (sprites and video sequences)

Visionaire Studio supports Multimedia by default: all usual graphics formats (png, jpg, gif, pcx), sound file formats (mp3, ogg, wav, ...), and the most popular video codecs (AVI, XVID, MPEG 4, OGG THEORA, ...) can be used for your own games.



Special Effects

Visionaire provides a partical system for realistic Special Effects like rain, fog and fire. You can use stunning effects to create a great atmosphere in your own games. The editor for changing the display and the behaviour of the particles is very easy to use. Parallax scrolling on an unlimited number of levels is also available by default.



Multi-Language

The Visionaire Editor has been translated into many different languages: English, German, French, Spanish, and Dutch. Of course games created with Visionaire can also be translated in as many languages as you want. Visionaire uses Unicode to allow the most possible flexibility and to support even complicated characters like cyrillic or chinese.
