[wraggster]

I got a fantastic news submission last night, so here goes in full the submission:

A new version of Adventure Maker Free Edition has just been released!

You can download the new version (v4.2.0 - Freeware - No registration required)
from the official website: http://www.adventuremaker.com

The changes include:
- New PSP engine for better visual experience
- Integrity-check routines for error-free software compilation
- Added support for animations (animated GIF's)
- Added support for timers to go to other places after a given time
- Added semi-transparent background for the text messages
- Improved installer for loading the produced software on the PSP


Adventure Maker is the ONLY toolkit available for creating point-and-click
software for legal 2.x PSP's. No scripting or programming is required, and the
program is totally free!

The produced software is compatible with any legal firmware 2.x, and does not
require any system modification or hacking of any kind! (it is safe HTML-based
software that runs through the PSP built-in Browser)

What you can create for the PSP is:
- First-person point-and-click adventure games
- Interactive magazines
- Myst/Riven-like games
- Educational software
- Quiz games
- Interactive visits
- Tour guides (museums, sites...)
- Interactive presentations and brochures
- Interactive comic books...

..and any other pre-rendered point-and-click software!

The concept is very simple: you import your pictures (photos, drawings,
renderings...), you add hotspots to link them to one another, and you are done!
You can even create complex puzzles without any scripting: just create some
variables, and then make the hotspots or pictures appear or disappear depending
on the value of the variables!


To see a few examples of what you can achieve without any programming, make sure
to try out the free PSP games available at the following URL:

You will find more information and tutorials at: http://www.adventuremaker.com

Thanks to the Adventure Maker staff for the rather great submission.

Those on 2.6 Firmware and below, why not try it and get back to us ;)

hmm...I wouldn't call this a "breakthrough" its not like running actualy homebrew on the PSP, it just runs through the browser, and it wouldn't be possible to use this for any kind of exploit. also the type of game that can be run this way is very very limited (if you loved myst, then your in luck, cus thats basicaly all you can make)

[QUOTE=omniosiris]also the type of game that can be run this way is very very limited[QUOTE]

yeah. they should've done this with Game Maker (www.gamemaker.nl) because with Game Maker (www.gamemaker.nl) you can make literally any type of game you want!!!

My Thoughts:
3/5

It Looks Interesting But The Thing Is So Hard To Use You Want To Just Yell @$#!^@#$@&^@%@$@^@$@%@@%$!!! 5 Times. I Made A Half Decent Game Using A Lot Of GIF Animations, But When I Loaded It ONto My PSP....Lets Just Say Phhhpppttt Comes To Mind. Plus Quoting omniosiris "its not like running actualy homebrew on the PSP,also the type of game that can be run this way is very very limited" And I 100% Agree The Only Reason It Got Three Is Because It Is Good For N00Bs And Others Who Dont Know How To Code HTML. *Takes Deep Breath* T9o Tell You The Truth I Would Much Rather Open Notepad And Make My Own HTML Hyperlink Game.

Hey I payed the $25 bucks to register Game Maker, and yea it does make any simple computer program, but hey! why do you find it important to keep saying it, i think that a forum rule was to not advertize stuff other then DCEmu stuff . . . but whatever anyway! i didnt like myst, and this doesent make realy awesome games, but hey its a start! a realy awesome thing would be a java player though, that would make almost anything possible, people could even sit down and play RuneScape on their psp . . . .
