A 1988-style magazine ad for Bitiverse Studio

NOW YOU CAN MAKE YOUR OWN GAMES.

Bitiverse Studio is a complete game creation system for your PC. Everything you need to make a game is in one program: a pixel-art sprite editor, a room and map builder, animation, sound effects, music, and game logic you snap together like building blocks.

Draw your hero. Paint a room. Snap a few logic blocks together, press Play, and your game runs right there in front of you. Change something and press Play again. And when you want more, a script block takes JavaScript.

Make games, sell games: a loud 1980s ad for Bitiverse Studio

FREE, AND YOURS TO SELL

Bitiverse Studio and its 11 disks are free. When your game is ready for the world, the Exporter turns it into a stand-alone Windows program or an HTML5 game for the web, and even packs a ready-to-upload itch.io ZIP. Give your games away or sell them, royalty-free, for $19.95. Third-party notices ship with every exported game; you still need the rights to any art or sound you import yourself.
