I was wondering what could this game engine do, I've tried choiceofgames engine and it is quite hard and confusing, this one seems very easy in comparison.

However, I'm not sure of the capabilities/limitations of this engine, in an hypothetical game designed by me I would like to (among other things):

-Be able to change stats after certain choices (e.g strength +1) and limit them (e.g strength limited to 10)

-Be able to do relatively complex mathematical calculations (e.g strength*weapon - enemy_defense)

-Have some visual ornaments dependent of variables of the game (e.g a bar that is more or less full according to how much of a stat do you have)

That is, I want to know if I'll be able to get enough comfy with this engine to focus only in writing, I don't have too much patience with writing, let alone if I had to frustrate myself with coding too!

Thanks. I hope that that little hyper-creative and hypo-patient muse in my head can finish a game for its first time :D

Hi and welcome to the site  =)

The Advanced Editor here is Awesome. You can do everything here you mentioned with it.

For most things, the Advanced Editor is easy (including using advanced Variable tracking). Some of the other things take a little learning in the Scripting Department.

Check out http://chooseyourstory.com/story/dungeon-stompage~21 for a prime example of an Advanced Game with Scripting (*shameless plug)  ^-^

I see what you did there. :p nice segue.

Mwuhahaha!  ;)

Thanks! I'll check the awesomeness of your game just to be sure :)

Awesome enough, this is going to be fun :)

P.S: I'll check the complexity of the advanced editor.

The Advanced Editor is really pretty easy to use. You can turn all the features on and not ever have to use any of them. Check out the Advanced Editor Forum for tips too. If you have a question, just post it there.
