Our take on iFAction Game Maker
The page emphasizes support for PC, web, Android, and iOS, but its own packaging details narrow current support to PC, web, and Android. It identifies iOS as a future addition, so the broad platform claim should not be read as current packaging availability.
What is iFAction Game Maker?
iFAction is a visual game-making tool for creating ACT, ARPG, and visual novel games.
Its editor uses map elements, obstacles, enemies, and interactive objects, with a layer system that handles basic visual overlap. Users can import resources by dragging them in and draw paths that control movement. Triggers can set up dialogue, weather effects, enemy generation, skills, and particle effects. A command system provides a way to define game behavior without programming, while a JavaScript script editor is available for extensions.
The software also supports mods for additions such as interface customization and game systems. Projects can be packaged for PC, web, and Android, and LAN code scanning can connect a mobile phone to a game. The description says iOS packaging was planned, not currently available.
