This time we introduce a much anticipated tool: save game toolkit, as well as a useful feature that will help streamline your game development process!

Save game tool is a storage for your game's meta info. Create separate storages for game settings, object states, save game and load game progress, and other settings. With this tool you can create check points for smoother player experience, and bring flexibility to your game's playthrough. See how it's done: https://youtu.be/JiAjD4qy_T0

Sometimes we have a complicated model that consists of many different parts. In MANU we created a very convenient way to disable every part at once. More on that in the video: https://youtu.be/SCQzS3PAHt8

Game smoothness enhanced: FPS of 60-100 can be reached depending on your machine configuration

With this update, we introduce the new learning system. By default, it's switched on in the panel. You can hover with your courser over the main tools and get tips on what they do, how to use them, and what can be achieved with that tool.

In later releases, we are going to expand the help system.

We used to say: sky’s the limit for your creativity. But the sky's not limiting your creativity anymore with MANU’s new skybox!

With our updated skybox feature, you get full control on the atmosphere of your game! There are two new skybox usage modes: easy and advanced. Easy mode lets you create in a couple of clicks good looking skies for your game with no sweat.

In the advanced mode, sky gets fully adjustable in our PBR pipeline: the texture of your skies reflects in the metal objects, and impacts the indirect ambient lighting.

In MANU, click on the Globe icon, and find the sky in the list of environment elements.

Ahoy! MANU introduces an updated Environment element: Sea.
With this tool you can make your game's atmosphere more immersive by adding realistic and adjustable water. Easily set up wave trajectory, length, sharpness, tint, as well as wind direction.

In MANU, click on Globe icon, and find the sea in the list of environment elements. Fair winds and following seas!

1. Increased overall performance
2. Minor camera settings improved
3. Duplicated objects in the asset tree - fixed
4. Reduced operations processing time:

• Prefabs: detach, duplicate, copying and pasting
• Triggers: duplicate, copying, pasting
• Variables: deletion; math formulas symbols input
• Asset browser: assets import; asset paste to the asset tree
• Nodes: assigning color mark

Artificial Intelligence: ChatGPT Integration for storytelling, state machine & game flow generation.

Use powerful Artificial Intelligence tool to help you speed up your game creation process. Ask AI to create an NPC behavior pattern, quest logic, cut scene scenario, or level play-through idea - and easily integrate it to your project. Click here to watch the how-to video

MANU Video Game Maker 1.2.0 release introduced a new big set of features and opportunities for the users. Now, you can make games of various genres, use prefabs to streamline the game development process, and export your creations to MANU Marketplace!

Now, you can create multiplayer games in MANU with just a couple of clicks - and with no coding or creating and maintaining server infrastructure. You can just one asset from MANU Marketplace - Network Game Manager, and enjoy a multiplayer game for up to 4 people.

Every game in MANU is a string of animations: you see moving objects and interact with them. Instead of programming, you simply make things move - and create new realms based on your ideas in an easy-to-use visual sequencer.

Animation of all the parameters of game world objects
Any parameter of any object can be changed on a timeline like a string of animations.

Maths formulas support
Alternatively, any parameter of any object can be changed mathematically; sin, cosine, etc

Sound editing
Mono and stereo sound can be inserted into the animation timeline and managed like any other sequence

Animations reuse in other timelines
Unlimited usage of the created animation in any other timeline

Tags for a group animation
You can mark the set of objects with a tag to change the parameters of the entire group at once

For animations, Game Flow, and state machines to work in your game, you need to set triggering conditions for them and trigger them when those conditions are met. These conditions are tracked by objects called triggers.

Triggers consist of conditions. Such conditions can be either one or several. Several conditions can be combined using Boolean logic to make more complex triggers.

Trigger management tool
You can start any in-game event based on the circumstances that are happening inside the game

Various types of trigger events
The triggers can work with any entity in MANU: objects, animations, state machines, keyboard controls, multiplayer actions, transactions within the game, object collisions, and the beginning and the end of the scene.

Triggers: start, end, continue
You can set up the start of animation at the beginning and the end and while the entire event

When creating even a small game, it's easy to lose control of the logic of game interactions or the thread of the narrative. To get the most control over your project, we created the Game Flow tool. It's a scene object with a visual node editor, where you can design your game before you even put a single game object on the stage.
Game Flow links between the Animation, Trigger, State Machine, and Game Flow objects and sets the interaction and narrative logic for your game.

State machine
An easy-to-use visual editor for state machines to set up object behavior

Visual development of the game mechanics
You can easily set up complicated game mechanics, NPCs, cut scene start and endings, or other game scenario events in a visual editor.

An Asset is a term that generally stands for anything that goes into a video game – characters, objects, sound effects, maps, textures, materials, environments, etc.

Reusable and modifiable assets
Any asset that was created within one game can be updated and reused in another game

Complex assets
You can create complex assets by combining smaller ones

Asset browser
An easy-to-use tool for navigation and organisation of the assets within the project

MANU Marketplace
MANU's own marketplace is used for exchanging game assets and game publishing.
Users can download the assets created by other community members or upload and share the ones made by themselves.

Depth of field
Set up the depth of field of the game camera to focus the player on the important moment of the game

Chromatic aberration
Chromatic aberration is used to smooth the contour of any object so it gets a cinematic effect

Bloom
Bloom effect of luminous objects of the game imitates overexposure to add up to the cinema effect of the game

Color correction
Manages the mood within the scene of the game setting up the hues, contrast, and brightness

Screen space ambient occlusion
Simulates global illumination & secondary shadows in the scene

Users can import animations created in other editors, including support for Mixamo.

Sound: wav, mp3, and ogg formats.
Objects: FBX, Obj, DAE, BLEND, and gltf formats.
Textures: PNG, JPEG, and TIFF formats.
