Snapforge

WHAT IS SNAPFORGE?

Snapforge is a block-based visual scripting environment for creating games within the Playstudio engine. It is designed to abstract away syntax while retaining the ability to implement advanced game logic and system-level interactions. No traditional code writing is required, but the tool provides the structural depth necessary for complex project development.

The editor operates on a modular logic block system with integrated access to Playstudio engine resources, including asset pipelines for NPCs, gears, and in-world entities. Logic constructs include conditional branching, boolean evaluation, arithmetic operations, and event-driven execution.

Projects are authored entirely through a drag-and-drop interface. When a project reaches deployment readiness, the block graph can be compiled into executable Playstudio script code and exported via text file. The output is then inserted into the Playstudio platform for immediate integration and publishing.

FEATURES

• Block-based scripting with enforced type safety and zero syntax error risk

• Engine-level access to NPCs, gears, and core asset definitions

• Logic blocks covering IF/ELSE, boolean operators, arithmetic, and data manipulation

• Custom input mapping for runtime player interaction

• Direct compile-and-publish workflow into Playstudio with minimal deployment steps

NOTES

Setup documentation and advanced usage guides are in development and will be made available for both entry-level users and experienced creators seeking engine-deep integration.

CURRENT LIMITATIONS

Due to current server allocation constraints, no more than 8 concurrent online game publishers are supported globally. This restriction is being addressed with planned upgrades in:

• Server throughput and capacity

• Game page allocation and availability

• Multiplayer event handling and interaction performance
