A modern 2D RPG engine for
modern perspectives.
Life isn't linear — it's complex, unorganised and constantly breaks rules.
Constellation's development philosophy is that the best stories reflect and embrace this chaos. Making sense
of it requires an engine that brings powerful abstractions and unique ways of thinking — one
that doesn't assume what your game looks like, how you write their stories, and who will play them.
Without any programming, you can build animations, coreograph cutscenes, establish complex rules,
give players concrete objectives and make entire user interfaces.
For more intricate interactions and custom behaviour, there are two options:
- Write high-performant and advanced plugins with C, C++, Zig or any other language for writing native libraries.
- Write easy, quick but powerful scripts using JavaScript/TypeScript.
Bringing your stories to life can be a deeply collaborative experience. The Constellation Editor is built to allow fully real time live collaboration for your whole team.
Constellation project files are structured to integrate with existing source control systems, such as Git, Fossil and Mercurial.
