Heavy Water gaming development studios has launched their own open world-building toolset on the very popular Kickstarter called Axis Game Factory. With this gamers can create, build, share, and then play their very own games as well as make Machinima animations.
Providing players the opportunity to play with AAA-quality resources such as assets, themes, characters, NPC’s, enemies, cameras, game modes, lights, skyboxes, weapons, and props. The player is freely able to create and mold their own world. Forget having to ever write a line of code or animate a character or model. Game Axis Factory is simple to use and very user friendly.
Heavy Water is committed to giving the player the ultimate experience in building a game and for each seat pledge on Kickstarter they will donate a seat to education in what they are titling “Paying it Forward”.
About Axis Game Factory
Able to run on PC/Mac/Linux systems and built on the UNITY system, Axis Game Factory is a simple to use real time game where players are able to mold their own game without having to mess with the hassle of coding or modeling.
Key Features include:
· Full GUI scene and gameplay editing tools
· Extensive art asset libraries for terrain, foliage, structures, props, atmospheres, characters, lights, and more from different art styles
· Ability to create custom models from separate pieces to use just like any other art asset in your toolbox
· Every saved file, scene or model, saves the history so even after you’ve closed and opened the file you can undo and redo the entire file and therefore, every file becomes a tutorial and provides step by step instructions for the next user
· Positional NPC’s that can be configured by altering variables via sliders, attaching animations, voice acting, way points, and sound effects
· Positional enemies that can be configured with variables via sliders same as NPC’s plus variable for aggressiveness, strength, etc.
