Is Popochiu for me?
Popochiu is for everyone, but it's particularly suitable for you if you:
- are in search for a developer-friendly engine, with a powerful scripting language
- want to work on top of a state-of-the-art, general-purpose game engine with a great community and support (Godot)
- want to build your game on OS different than Windows (Linux or MacOSX)
- want to release your game on different platforms (PC, mobile and consoles)
- love Free/Open-Source Software
- want to join a cheerful and welcoming community of fellow developers
Popochiu may not be your cup of tea if:
- you are no coder and search for a visual editor like Adventure Creator
- you want to build games different from point-and-click adventures
Yes, that's it. We can't imagine for what other reasons you shouldn't at least give Popochiu a try! :)
