Key Features
Game Logic
The game logic system of Chidori uses what is a called a task system. The system uses nested actions to simplify developer’s required inputs. These nested actions can also be assigned priorities within the logic system to insure the actions take place in the right order.
Importing Models
The FBX format is a common format for handling 3D models, so it can be created and edited with most 3D software or tools. These models can then be imported into Chidori and be easily modified, such as updating the position, rotation, size, and rendering of the model. DDS texture formats are supported. The DDS format can be edited / created / converted with compatible image editing software.
Animations
Animations can quickly be rigged to the 3D models allowing for efficient animation creation.
Lighting
