As of November 2011, the PushButton Engine project is no longer actively being developed.  I am also no longer actively developing the Platformer Starter Kit, and have moved on to other projects.  PushButton Engine has forked into smash.io, which is based on PBE 2.

Enough people continue to show interest in the Platformer Starter Kit, so I continue to have it available for sale, but please be aware that there is currently no active support or ongoing development for it.

Thank you everyone, for your interest and support!

HanClinto Games has ceased active development and support for the Platformer Starter Kit.  However, enough people have continued to show interest in purchasing and using the Kit, so I am still selling it here.

The Platformer Starter Kit is a fully-featured toolkit for PushButton Engine (Update: development on PBE ceased November 2011, but is still freely available) that includes everything you need to create your own Flash platformer game. Notable features include:

  • XML-defined levels - Create your games entirely in code, or use PushButton's powerful XML level format to quickly link character and object art with level structure, triggers, and cutscenes.
  • Cutscenes - Insert narration for stories that will bring your game to life.
  • Advanced physics - Ready-to-use features like wall slides, double-jumps, and wall jumps.
  • Starter artwork - The kit includes plenty of pixel game art (fully animated characters, 4 complete tilesets, backdrops, pickups, and more) to help you get off the ground, freely licensed for you to modify or use in your own game, all without additional fees or royalties.
  • Flexible triggers - Add complex level functionality with minimal coding.alt
  • Modular component design - Lets you build modular and re-usable pieces of gameplay instead of monolithic applications.
  • Full documentation - A complete guide to creating a game from start to finish.
  • Cross-platform toolchain - Lets you develop on Windows, Mac or Linux.
  • Source code - All source for the game engine and starter kit is included.

Feel free to play the demo to explore some of what's included.  You may purchase the kit on our website here for immediate download.  The Kit is in active development, and future upgrades are provided free of charge.

You can also subscribe to the RSS feed on our blog to be notified when more information is available!
