Schematics
Create reusable, node-based blueprints of what you want to do. Schematics work similar to flow charts, each node performs a task and decides the next node that'll be executed. There are over 400 nodes available, ranging from simple things like playing an audio clip, spawning a prefab or increasing a counter to complex operations like moving/rotating over time or fading to a new camera position.
Schematics are used to create player/camera controls, game mechanics, dialogues and other interactions, cut-scenes, AI and handle animations, movement and many other things.
Machines
Machine components are used to play your schematics (but schematics can also play other schematics). There's a machine for every use case, e.g. Tick Machines handle update-based functionality like player/camera controls, Trigger Machines can start when an object enters an area or Collision Machines when a bullet hits a target.
Tagged Machines are used to create a uniform setup for your game mechanics, e.g. starting whatever happens when something is killed or destroyed via the same tag (e.g. 'kill'), for items and other pickups this can trigger collection, while on enemies it'll play their death animation and drop loot or increase the score.
Often used machines can be set up as templates for easy reusability.
Languages
The best approach to localization during development is to not worry about it. Define the content in your native/preferred language and use Makinom's language export/import functionality to easily add additional languages at a later time. You can also add notes to the translators when defining your content, e.g. to emphasize the context or let them know not to translate a name or word.
Modular UI
Build HUDs, dialogues, menus and flying texts (e.g. damage numbers). HUDs can also be used for virtual controls.
The UI system is modular and completely separated from the rest, allowing you to switch it out if needed. Makinom currently comes with the Unity UI module (requires Unity UI and TextMeshPro) and will support UI Elements in the future (when it's available for in-game use).
Other Features
- Input system (extensible, support for local multiplayer and control styles)
- Save game system (and custom save data support)
- Game states (automatic and manual state changes and as conditions for machines)
- Variables (with different scopes: global, object-bound and local, e.g. in running schematics)
- Audio and music management
- Game object pooling
- Formula system (node-based)
- Built-in documentation for each setting
- Paths and waypoints
- Supports Mecanim, legacy animation and custom animation systems
- Grid feature (e.g. for match 3 gameplay or level architecture)
- And more ...
