GameTool

GameTool is game creation utility that has a web-based interface. You can create text-based web games with GameTool, specifying the colors, menus, areas and all other game functionality. Games are limited to the imagination behind them. Once created, you will be given a URL where you can create a character in the game and play it, as well as invite others to join in.

GameTool is currently under development and is not guaranteed to be stable. Those interested in GameTool are welcome to use it at your own risk, and are welcome to provide bug information and feedback to alinea at codeink.com.


Important Notes:
    Once you have created your game, you must "Build" it. You must also Build the game (again) for any changes you make to take effect. The GameTool currently DELETES all of your game data when it builds the game, thus deleting any players in the game. The ability to edit a game without wiping out your players and game data is being worked on.

Much of the available functionality in games created with GameTool are based on the functionality of Legend of the Green Dragon -- a game based on the Legend of the Red Dragon BBS game. A large portion of the LOGD/LORD game play functionality can be re-created using GameTool and though the code base is completely different, a credit is due to those who have kept a passion for this style of game alive.
