8bit Dude arbeitet an Programmbibliotheken, die es ermöglichen, Point & Click Adventures zu erstellen.

8bit-Goblin ist eine Tech-Demo im Point-and-Click-Stil, die in Version 0.3.3 eingeführt wurde. Der Code zeigt, wie man Szenenmanagement implementiert, einschließlich: interaktive Objekte, wählbare Gegenstände, Szenenanimation…

Update in Version 0.5: Die Skripting-Engine funktioniert jetzt auch mit Textdateien, wie z.B. unten im Beispiel. Link zur Entwicklerseite:
