The toolkit

Ten studios, one engine.

Each is a complete editor — and everything you make flows between them.

Character Creator

Build a complete fighter — stats, philosophy, archetype — with zero code.

Animation Studio

An Animate-style timeline plus a node-based animation state-graph.

VFX Studio

Author hit sparks, trails and forge effects with a live, drag-to-place editor.

Stage Studio

Platforms, hazards, weather and a camera director for your battlegrounds.

Combat Analysis Lab

Launch, DI and KO simulators with combo heatmaps — using the real formulas.

Heat Ladder AI

A 9-rung CPU difficulty ladder you can tune, from gentle to apex.

Item Creator

Design multi-behavior items with spawn rules, effects and a sandbox.

Position & Alignment Studio

Place sprites precisely with zoom/pan, gizmos, anchors and validators.
