Dagon is a game engine especially tailored for adventure games and based on open technologies. Featuring a deceptively simple scripting language, blazing fast performance and high portability supporting Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X, the project aims to become a referendum of the genre.

Warning: The engine is still under heavy development and script compatibility breaking changes might be introduced. Proceed with care!

The source code is first and foremost distributed as an Xcode project for Mac OS X. It should compile right out of the box on 10.6 Snow Leopard or 10.7 Lion as all the required libraries are included.

A Microsoft Visual C++ 2010 Express solution is available in the Windows folder and is also ready for compilation.

Compiling on Linux is possible provided all the required libraries are available (see Credits in the Documents folder). A Makefile is available for your convenience in the Linux folder.

Please note: The Linux port still requires work and has been tested mostly on Ubuntu distributions.

We recommend using the readily available Asylum Interactive Teaser for testing, which also serves as an advanced and highly in-depth tutorial. It can be downloaded from the Senscape website: http://www.senscape.net/asylum-teaser

Its source code is also available in a GitHub repo: https://github.com/Senscape/Asylum-Teaser

To create your own project, copy the Dagon binary in a folder with a main.lua file or indicate the name of your main script in the Dagon.cfg file (included in the Sample folder).
