The Video Game Machine simplifies the joy of game creation into 3 clicks... <ul class="bb_ul"><li>Pick a Genre. Click! </li><li>Choose your Hero. Click! </li><li>Name your Game. Click!</li></ul> And that's it! VGM takes your input and builds your own retro adventure, blurring the line between playing and creating. If mid-game inspiration strikes , simply pause the action to bring up VGM's feature-rich editor. With hundreds of enemies, environments, items, NPCs, and more, the editor lets you create your very own game worlds to explore and enjoy. <h2 class="bb_tag">Current Features</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>A Generation system that builds a game from hand-crafted template levels. </li><li>3 Initial Genres: Sidescroller, Legendary Adventure, and Runner. </li><li>A fully functional Game Editor that can be brought up at any time, letting you take the generated game and make it your own. </li><li>Hundreds of heroes, enemies, environments, music tracks, items, and rules to play (and create) with. </li><li>An easy-to-share XML format, that lets other VGM players enjoy your creations. </li><li>Several sample games to play, enjoy, and learn from.</li></ul> <h2 class="bb_tag">Feature Roadmap</h2><ul class="bb_ul"><li>Story Mode: We need a campaign that takes the player through a hand-crafted adventure. This mode will unlock unique content that can be used in the 'Make a Game' portion of VGM. </li><li>Additional Genres: The more genres VGM has, the less work required to make the games you're envisioning. Every new Beta build will have at least one additional Genre to build from. </li><li>More Content: Whether its heroes, enemies, items, or mechanics, every new EA build will add additional gameplay goodies to build with. </li><li>Workshop Support: Once the mechanics and data formats are finalized, we will be hooking up Steam Workshop support so players can digitally share their creations.</li></ul>
