Wii Game Studio is a PC based program that allows you to create Wiibrew applications with a drag and drop type environment. Only a little amount of programming knowledge is required and no low level programming knowledge is required.
Wii Game Studio comes in 2 versions: Standard Version and Pro Version.
The Standard Version is absolutely free and can accomplish most of the things that the Pro version can.
Standard Version Limitations:
- You can only generate three different "Rooms" but there are ways to work around this
- You can not use any sound. No work around as far as I know.
- The Wii Game Studio logo is displayed in the top right corner of your game. No work around as far as I know.
Pro Version:
- Unlimited "Rooms"
- MOD file sound support
- No logo is displayed in the top corner
- Access to a few additional features
The Pro version costs $9.99US and is a lifetime upgrade (i.e. your key will work in a future updates).
This software is well worth a look if you are trying to implement 2D style platform games. I even have a tutorial on using it to create a Basic 3D environment (no a smooth 3D engine...more like the old RPG games...moving in increments of squares and turning 90 degrees)
P.S. No...I am not the author...but I am a member of the forumn and a user of the Pro version.
