Questions
What is Maneki?
A game engine that runs on your computer, with a cat named Neko who does the building. You describe a game, Neko builds it, plays it to check it works, and fixes what it finds.
Do I need to know how to code?
No. You talk to Neko the way you’d talk to a friend who’s helping. If you do code, the whole project is yours to open and change.
What kinds of games can I make?
2D games for now: platformers, roguelikes, shooters, puzzle games, story games. 3D is next.
Can I change the game after Neko makes it?
As much as you like. Ask for a new level, a different boss, brighter colors, and Neko makes the change and plays it again to check nothing broke.
Can my friends play it?
Yes. Send them a link and they play it right in their browser, like the demos on this site.
Who owns what I make?
You do. The whole project lives on your computer, and the art library comes with licenses that allow commercial games.
