Xentu Creator is a free, all-in one development environment for creating games with the Xentu game engine. Although you can create games in Xentu using any code editor, Xentu Creator adds a lot of convenient features that makes building games much easier and faster.
- Written in Electron (TypeScript and ReactJS).
- Game debugging, with a built-in console output window.
- Uses the Monaco code editor (also used in VSCode), which provides a rich coding experience.
- Editors for sprite map's, and conversations (for visual novels).
- Code completion and contextual insights for all the Xentu API.
- Comes with a dual customisable theme editor, with a toggle for dark and light modes.
- Support for internationalisation (languages other than English coming soon).
