Developer’s Description

By The Adventure Maker Team

Create royalty-free games and multimedia software.

Adventure Maker is a free innovative toolkit to create point-and-click games and multimedia software in minutes, without any scripting or programming. It runs on Windows, and it allows creating software for Windows, PSP, iPhone, and iPod touch. The concept of Adventure Maker is very simple: you import your pictures, you add some hotspots to link the pictures to one another, and you are done. Adventure Maker is particularly suitable for the creation of first-person and third-person 2D adventure games, virtual tours, educational software, presentations, and interactive visits. When creating software for Windows, Adventure Maker provides "Load/Save Game" functions, conversations, inventory items, 360-degree interactive panoramas, support for Flash, multiple-CD distribution, third-person game characters, full-screen transitions, water/smoke effects, multi-channel sounds, animations, support for over 30 file types (like OGG, XviD, DivX, or mp3).

Great Program!!! In...theory...
JasonMcDonaldSeptember 24, 2010
Pros
Somewhat easy to use. Good tool for beginners with no intention of making anything to compete in the game world.
Cons
No customer support from the maker. Limited video support. Horrible built-in animated .gif support, shoddy Flash integration.
Summary
Adventure Maker is a noble concept. It is somewhat easy to use, has a shallow learning curve, and it a good tool for beginners...assuming they have no intention of making anything that can compete in the software world. In contrast with product description, Adventure Maker will NOT play any video format other than the infamously large AVI. It has horrible built-in animated .gif support and shoddy Flash integration. While its abilities can be expanded with third-party plugins and scripting (as long as you pay for the full version). Custom cursor support leaves a lot to be desired. Most built in features are poorly executed, and are extremely limited and bug ridden. None of the visual effects allow for image transparency, and .PNG format is NOT an option. There is absolutely no customer support from the maker, instead, the only help you will ever be able to receive is from other customers who have spent time learning the program, and finding ways around its limitations. However, their requests for bug fixes have fallen on deaf ears. While a Windows 7 BETA was released prior to the actual OS being released by Microsoft, there have been absolutely no updates in over a year, and no improvements on the BETA (which has no video or audio support, and more than half of the program is limping along). The website is outdated (still set up for Christmas '09), and no one gets any response from the software maker. The bottom line is, unless you want to pay for the $69 full version ($150 if you want to sell your products), learn how to use visual basic script, and spend 85% of your time circumventing the many limitations and bugs of this program, don't expect to be able to make anything that even remotely stands out. For that time and money, you might as well invest in learning Visual Basic Studio Express (which is free). At least THAT is devoid of bugs.<br /><br /><span class='notifyMsg'> Updated </span>on Sep 24, 2010<p/>While you can create PSP and iPhone applications with this program, these features have no support for ANY type of animation, video, audio, plugin, text (use images instead), or script.
"Excellent!"

Pros
Great interface. Very easy to use and installs a stable, solid working game. I have never had it crash or corrupt a file. It handles a very large number of files .jpg, .wav and .mpeg without incident.
Cons
It would be nice to be able to search variable locations in relation to frames or weed out unused files but I wouldn't really call this a con.
Summary
This should be all you need to get a point and click game up and running.
Crashed on started up, full of viruses and spyware

Pros
I like the way it is so simple to use! <p>Theres so much you can do that goes beyond what it is originally programmed to do. <p> <p>Eg, if you edit the .gif files on the "Third-Person Plug-in" to make it yourself, you can have yourself walking around your home or anywhere you like!!
Cons
The only thing I didnt agree on was how it states on this site that there are "no limitations" when infact, there is. If you'd like to use the premium features (Third Person Views, Custom Plug-Ins, etc), you are only limited to 20 frames ... WHICH IS STILL ABSOLUTELY FINE! <p> <p>Also, I couldn't work out how to export it so that I could send to my friends (im not sure if you can or not). <p> <p> <p> <p> <p>Overall, I think this is an amazing piece of software for someone who wants to make a fun and enjoyable game for friends and family!

Pros
If you want to make a slide-show presentation, it MIGHT be suitable...
Cons
If you want to make anything other than a slide-show, this program is not the one for you!
