Well hello again you guys!
I'm in!
Must say I'm excited to see how this develops, after only a couple of hours messing about I have modelled a funny looking man without arms, made him a walk animation and modelled a spider (gave up for the night trying to animate the legs ...)
Very cool, and very easy to use. Can see this really hitting it off, with me at least.
Glad you like it and thanks for contributing!
I'm happy to report the crowdfunding campaign has been very successful and
has ended at a pretty cool $23.500 with donations from 600+ people!
I've been hard at work getting CraftStudio into alpha status (that is: allow making actual games with it!), and well, I'm almost done... Last week I invited a bunch of friends on a development server and
we all made a little karting game called CraftStudio Kart together, in just 24 hours! How cool is that?
You can check out
this gameplay video and maybe
download it and give it a play! (you'll need to have
the XNA redistributable installed, though you probably have it already)
Scripts are written using Lua, as you can see in this screenshot of the very basic script editor. The long term plan includes having some sort of visual script editor, this is of course very rough and just the beginning.
I'm currently finishing the website update and then, if everything goes well, the alpha should be out before the end of the month!
There's been an awful lot of awesome models and maps made with CraftStudio. Just a couple examples you might want to check out: A friend made this
animated Lich King model, two people made
this cool dungeon map.
