(ah-bah-ray), Japanese: “violent intent”. Used in gaming to refer to a character's ability to turn a situation to their advantage.
2D Engine
The world's most advanced 2D engine. Period.
- Proprietary image compression and rendering techniques support palettized, screen-filling HD sprites at full framerate!
- Sprites are lit in approximated 3D, by lights placed in levels or attached to objects, all with no extra artist work per frame - none of that alpha-polygon or flat cardboard lighting here!
Rollback
The world's first game engine built from the ground up for rollback.
- Save and load the entire engine state at any time, including menus, cutscenes, etc.; saving is automatic and not limited to specific gameplay objects.
- Supports 4+ players, each of which can be seamlessly local or networked, including full crossplay capability.
Realmatch
Proprietary RealMatch rollback netcode allows games to truly be played around the world.
- Outperforms GGPO under standard networking conditions, providing more accurate rollbacks with fewer incorrect visual discontinuities.
- Runs smoothly under pings well in excess of 500.
- Can process rollbacks of any length without hitching, regardless of available CPU power - your game will handle any network hiccup short of disconnection!
Customizable
Fully customizable through scripting.
- Flexible and powerful scripting language that defines all aspects of the game from startup through shutdown.
- All game engine functions are exposed to script. Extending the language is as simple as adding a new script action!
- All game parts - players, enemies, obstacles, UI elements, menus, cutscenes, AI controllers, netplay manager, replay manager, anything - are exactly the same: objects running a script.
