About
PyWright helps you to create a game in the same vein as the popular Phoenix Wright series for GBA and Nintendo DS. These games combine excellent writing, funny characters, and brain-bending logic into an experience that is part anime, part old-school adventure game, and all great. They are some of the most successful interactive story games on a worldwide scale.
Their infrequent release schedule, combined with raving fans, as created a thriving creative fan base ready to tell their own stories, whether through comics, fan fiction, artwork, or even games. PyWright is one of several options enabling Phoenix Wright-ish game to be created, along with PWlib, Ace Attorney Online, Ace Attorney DS, and the old staple of using an existing game engine or programming language to create a game “from scratch.”
It is a game engine (handling displaying graphics, playing sounds and movies, and taking player input and responding), as well as a scripting engine (interpreting scripts written by game authors which describe how the game should function – who says what, when, and what to do when players choose this option or that).
It is much easier to learn if you are familiar with other scripting languages, but is not a very advanced system, and can be learned by anyone with enough desire to learn it. Making a game is not easy, no matter what tools go into making it, but PyWright strikes a pretty good balance between having a low learning curve, and allowing game creators to have a lot of freedom and put their own mark on the games.
