Nream!

Ever want to create your own 3D Adventure game but don't have the time to spend on programming the engine? Do you have a great storyline in mind but lack of a good way to tell it? If yes to the above all, then Nream! may be just the thing for u!

Nream is a 3D Adventure Construction Tool that allow anyone to create 3D Adventure Game without all the trial-and-error so you can concentrate on making the games you love without the headaches.

The Nream engine take care of most of the dirty work for you. For any hardcore programmer, I know what a pain it is to program effective media/data loading routines, or keep track of all the game datas when the game becomes too big. I spend a long time perfecting the engine to handle these sorts of problems. I believe people who dream of creating their own 3D adventure game should not be bound by these issues, leave all these bothersome issues to Nream and focus more other important aspect! If you have a good storyline and want to create a game out of it quickly, why not give Nream a try?

Nream contains 7 modules that help making games as painless as possible.

• Map Editor: Design Maps
• Tile Editor: Custom Tile builder
• Event Editor: Place and define events
• FX Editor: Place extra eye candy to your maps
• Actor Builder: Define models for the game
• Item Database: Create your own items

Nream also equip with a scripting language that allow user to control many aspect of the game. With over 100 commands, you can do just about anything from setting event behavior to creating quest and cutscenes.

- Animate Picture! Pictures can now be animated with different frames!
- Effects! User can now create 2D effects and play it in the 3D world. For example:

A picture like this, when played as an effect in Nream, Nream will play each frame of this picture in the 3D world like this:

The script is loosely BASIC, so if you understand BASIC, you will not have trouble using it. If you never programmed before, it won't take long for you to learn. Just take a look at the following and see if you understand it.

Local Win:Int
FreezePlayer(True,True)
DisableMenu(True)
Win = MakeWindow(15,400,760,180,5,5,5)
Text("msg",50,450,"Hello World for 2 Sec ",True)
Delay 2000
Cls()
FreezePlayer(False,False)
DisableMenu(False)

Nream also come with command references on how to use all the commands. With a little determination and patience, even if you never programmed before, you will master it in no time.

Q. How flexible is the engine?
A. In all the months that I tested it, I can say its quite flexible. If you can script it, it can happen.
Q. Is there a limit to how big the game can be?
A. No, your game can be as big or as small as you want.
Q. Is there any included media (Models/Sounds)?
A. No, there isn't any. Only a few texture. Why? Because if I have to include media, it will be too time-consuming to make. If I hire someone to do it, I will have to pay royalty, which will increase the price of the product. I am trying to keep cost as low as possible. Besides, there are PLENTLY of FREE resource out there.
Q. Do I have to pay any royalty with games made with Nream?
A. NONE! Once you bought Nream, its all yours. You can sell and distribute your games without any restriction whatsoever. A hint of credit would be nice ;)
Q. Is there a in-built Battle Engine?
A. No. However, its quite possible to script one. You have access to 1000 variables and switches, ability to do choice box and message box, play model animation etc. Just think of what you can do! ;)
Q. How do I do cutscenes?
A. There are many ways to do it. For basic ones, just have your camera attach to a npc and move the npc to the desire location. The camera will follow and vola! Instant cutscene. For more advance one, you can incorporate multiple npc's, with camera zoom, rotate etc. The sky's the limit.


Try before you buy. You can see if Nream is for you. The demo limits you to 3 maps ONLY and no custom tiles (but you can still build your own tiles). Other than that, it is fully functional.
