Brilliant! One of the most flexiable programs available for any gamers to use! This system provides a preset of essential tools like scripting, codes, graphical resources, and etc. to create games in minutes. Additionally, Game Creator 001 continues to release new updates for new features that will keep game creators busy from new ideas!

On April 8th, it will be my 4th year at Engine001.com . I say over the years this amazing engine has grown quite a lot.

Engine001 is quite simple to use once you spend a couple minutes in it. I have zero programming skills, but with Engine001 I can do a lot of complicated scripting with their Graphical Scripter. Making a game is so easy with Engine001, so easy that all you need is it and free time!

This is an excellent, fun utility with which the creator of games can make good-looking and fun games with little time but a lot of creativity spent. If you want to create a huge Ultima-style retro RPG, this will be perfect.

Most of the game creation is done by a point-and-click system; even the scripting. There is a huge amount of readily user-made resources for download on the 001 Engine Website. The engine is also regularly updated and gets even more impressive as time goes by.

This is seriously recommended to anyone new to creating games who want to do their first RPG or scrolling shooter perhaps; veteran modders, like myself, and game makers can also find some good fun here.

One of the best free game creation Engines to ever rise out of the indie community. It has a supportive community, an easy-to-use scripting interface, and an entirely customizable experience, ensuring that any game can be exactly like you imagine it.

This Engine will always be free, although you can pay to get earlier access to better features, such as 3D, mouse support, multiplayer betas and more.

The website contains support for the game creator with an active forum, a bustling tutorial and resource community, and plenty of great games to choose from, stand-alone.

It's not professional, but it's getting closer and closer with every update. It's easy to use, and fun to play.

If you've been trying other game engines like Unity or Unreal and keep getting put-off because your idea is taking too long to accomplish - you need to try 001.

In an hour I learned how to do everything in 001 that I knew how to do in 2d Unity - things that took ~100 hours of learning and buying assets from the unity store are just native concepts in 001.

If you're someone who wants to take an idea and expand it to something previously complex, like online multiplayer capabilities. Then 001 could be a great fit.

I've literally gone from just concepts in my head that I've never been able to get a mock-up together in unity, to having them in front of me and actually playing the the mechanics in only a few hours. Literally from 0 to playing with my game mechanics in an hour.

Granted, I know a bit about programming to begin with - but I haven't had to write any code in 001. The graphical scripting is top-tier, way better than any of the paid unity add-ins (which cost more as an add-on than 001 does, by the way).

Give it a shot, follow some of the video tutorials, and make a little game. You can do it. Really. Like right now. You can do it.

***most of the reviews are old*** -first of all, u need to know those high rated reviews are for when it was a free engine and had more users/community, so those reviews are old & dated

***a few tut/learning resources*** -even those few wiki/doc/tut don't go deep and u have to learn engine by much clicking/testing (trial & error)

***few active users*** -these days it have just a few users which are newer/noob and just asking their problems, just 1 or 2 of them (which have more knowledge/experience than beginner state) will help u, the rest of community don't help/participate , and support team aren't helpful and don't care about members, just one or maybe two of them will give u some help just for simple/easy things , if u ask something more than basics things, ur questions will remain unanswered, so if u got stuck, u have to find the solution & workaround for it by urself which is really time consuming

***old engine*** -engine itself is really old & dated, it written with vb6

i'm trying to keep my review with less words, if u need more tell me (the most important note is, this engine is really difficult to pick up & learn how to use if u wanna go deeper/do things more than basic/simple)

May be missing some features, and is difficult to get used to, but this engine has the greatest potential to create some amazing games, all without having to worry about learning any scripting languages. Definitely worth paying for, and definitely worth your time.

One of the greatest...

Such a powerful development tool that never gets enough credit. I have been using 001 since 2007 and I am AMAZED at the progress that has been made in the past years and excited to see this Engine packing so much power now. Also a great forum for quick community and developer Tech Support if you ever get snagged! It really can't be beat. Whether you're an artist that has no interest in programming but would like to make a game, a newbie to the programming world that wants to wrap your head around coding logic, or a seasoned programmer that's looking for something a little more interesting than solid walls of code(although the engine does support text scripting, if that is really your thing)then Engine001 is DEFINITELY for you! My current project, Krown is being developed with the 001Engine, so if you want to see 001 in action, check it out.

Easy to use, powerful, flexible. Just a few things that come to mind when asked to describe 001 game creator. With the user friendliness needed for newcomers, and the power wanted by experienced scripters, the engine will suit your needs.
