Lassie Adventure Studio

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Lassie Adventure Studio is a Lucas Arts style adventure game creation utility built with Macromedia Flash and Director to allow quick and easy definition of interactions and environments through a graphical interface. The Lassie engine's default game playback uses a verb disc interaction system very similar to the one seen in the Lucas Arts classic, The Curse of Monkey Island.

[edit] Developing with Lassie

Lassie Adventure Studio's goal is to make adventure game development easy! Rooms are laid out within a click and drag preview interface, while interactions and character dialogue are defined in the secondary 'Copilot' window.

Lassie developers require their own graphics programs and Macromedia Flash to be able to develop games.

In addition, Lassie Adventure Studio is geared toward non-programmers. If the idea of scripting makes you uncomfortable, you've come to the right place! A collection of pre-authored modules (called TIMe's) have been assembled to control game play and limit the developer's programming to single-line commands. TIMe commands are more of a vocabulary than a scripting language, where key words will trigger specific results.
