Basics (Part 3) – Actors, Doors, Items & Lights

In this 001 Game Creator video tutorial series, we’ll be going over the basics of using the engine; from detailing what each of the main editors do, to learning how to create your very first game with NPCs and quests! In this third part, we’ll be looking at Actors, Doors, Items and Lights – providing a more detailed overview of each of these objects and how they’re used when making your games.
