Gamestudio/A8
SELECT AND ORDER |
Select your Edition 
You have the choice of four upwards compatible 2D/3D application development systems. All include lite-C and the same powerful A8 engine and physics engine. They only differ in features:
- Gamestudio Free is for classical game development. It comes with all tools for creating great casual 2D and 3D games.
- Gamestudio Extra has similar features as the free edition, but precompiles your script - so games will start faster, and people can't see or modify your code.
- Gamestudio Pro can create network and online games, and supports high-end graphical effects such as postprocessing shaders, decals and beams.
All editions are 100% up- and downwards compatible. Try before buying? Download the free version, open the tutorial, and start creating games!
* Full Plugin SDK licenses (without Open Source requirement) are available at the online shop.
** Monthly tickets for email support are separately available at the online shop.
*** Upgrade from the same A7 edition.

Prices in US $ (not including VAT). A description of the listed features can be found on the faq page. Features are listed for the latest update available on our website. All updates within the same A8 edition are free.

Educational editions
For developer teams or for education, multi-seat Team Editions are available. They can be installed on a network server or on a given number of PCs. All members of the team must use the software for the same project or for learning purposes, and may not use it for separate projects or outside the team or classroom. For a Game Programming course use our 25 lesson curriculum with an exit exam at http://tutorial.3dgamestudio.net.
The Team Editions are based on the Commercial or Pro Edition, but don't include the license to publish and distribute games. For this, an additional single edition is required. Team Editions for 3 or more seats at a fraction of the normal edition price can be ordered in the online shop or by email to info (at) 3dgamestudio.net. Students can upgrade their team editions to personal full editions at a reduced price.
