About Thicket Creator

Thicket Creator makes game creation studios: focused tools for making your own games, one genre at a time.

Each studio is made for one kind of game, with the editors and rules that kind of game needs. The first is Waystone: RPG Creation Studio, for top-down, 16-bit style JRPGs. Anthill, Hedge and Lilypad are in development.

The studios are made by Phanxgames, an independent studio, and sold here, on Steam and on itch.io.

Made for ThicketScript

The logic in your game, from a door that opens to a boss that changes phase, is real ThicketScript code. ThicketScript is free to use, and the studios are how it is funded. A studio saves you time on one kind of game; it never unlocks anything the language can't do.

Questions

Is anything out yet?

Not yet. Waystone: RPG Creation Studio is coming to Steam Early Access and itch.io first.

Do I need to know how to code?

Some, yes. The editors insert commands for you, but logic such as conditions and branches means writing some ThicketScript yourself, so basic coding helps.

Can I sell the games I make?

Yes. Pay once, sell your games. No royalties and no revenue cap.

Where do I buy a studio?

Here on Thicket Creator, on Steam and on itch.io, published by Phanxgames, once each one launches.

Where are the release notes?

Each studio has its own releases page with an RSS feed, starting with Waystone's releases.
