WiMi5 vs Adventure Game Studio

WiMi5 integrates a powerful visual scripting solution based on Blackboxes that allows you to create the logic flow of the game. You don't have to code (if you don't want) but you can also do it. WiMi5's actions and behaviors resemble flowcharts where each box represents a function or value, with connections between them representing program flow. This provides a better at-a-glance indication of game logic than a simple list of events, and makes complex behaviors easier to accomplish.

WiMi5 provides integrated back-end services, with tools available to save game session data, manage rankings, etc.

The WiMi5 platform is free to use, supported by post-publication royalties.

WiMi5 provides features to manage in-app purchases and micropayments. Virtual Goods management is integrated into the Logic Editor.

WiMi5 maintains partnerships allowing simultaneous publication to a number of Web and mobile stores, all managed through the WiMi5 platform.

Games can also be downloaded and publish it wherever you want: in your own server or with your own partners. Just check the Download feature in the settings of your game.

Good for newbie game creators. Can be used for prototyping: on several occasions was used to make a demo/experimental version before creating a final commercial product on different engine.

AGS is licensed under Artistic License 2.0 and is completely free for use for creating both freeware and commercial games.

Besides the manual there are multiple text and video tutorials and code samples written by community.

Adventure Game Studio has been used to develop games such as "Resonance", "Blackwell" series, "Gemini Rue", "Primordia".

An extensive library of game templates and script modules accumulated over years. You can construct a simple game in hours (if you know what you are doing).

An old, big and active community which would support newcomers not only in learning basics of the engine, but can help with every aspect of game making (including art, voice acting, moral support, etc).
