(Sk) is a text-based, compiled language and tool suite designed for live creation of engaging gameplay with surprisingly few lines of code.
Mighty and feature-rich, yet simple and easy to learn, empowers the entire team - from mission/audio/UI designer light-coders all the way to C++ veterans - to create compelling and sophisticated AI, missions, interactive audio, UI, automation, and more. It has native game concepts, a deep integration with Blueprints and C++ and an amazing live workflow. is made for games.

Reached the limit of Blueprints?
seamlessly integrates and extends Blueprints allowing instant creation/modification/live update of powerful custom nodes and:
★ calls scripts and changes code live
★ can outperform nativized BPs
★ makes coding logical time flow a breeze
★ has sophisticated concurrent debugging
★ scales without graphical spaghetti
★ is version control and diff tool friendly
★ allows swapping of code snippets over text
C++ slow to iterate and too bureaucratic?
has a comprehensive C++ API and:
★ compiles instantly
★ updates in real-time on any platform
★ has native game concepts such as concurrency
★ can be used by the whole team
★ reflects changes live in BPs and vice versa
★ is amazing at creating debug scenarios and smoke tests
★ facilitates DLC and end-user modding
is lovingly crafted by veteran game devs, battle-tested on AAA titles such as Sleeping Dogs and used in over 100 countries on upcoming AAA and indie games. We are dedicated to filling your development experience with cackles of megalomaniacal glee.
Testimonials:
Zach Burke, CEO Hypercane Studios: is the sweet spot between C++ and BPs
AAA praise
Includes the SkookumIDE—a cutting-edge command console that turbocharges your workflow (at any stage of development). It enables you to query and manipulate any UE4 game as it runs on any platform—without disrupting your existing tools, C++ code or BP graphs. It is written with the same system used to create the Unreal Engine editor - the Slate UI - so it fits in seamlessly with UE4. So even if you aren’t looking for a scripting solution now, try our console.
More details:
★ commands reflected to BPs also available to
★ use same macros to expose C++ to as used for BPs
★ integrates well with pipeline and other tools
★ full C++ plugin source
★ Apache 2.0 licensed
★ use as engine plugin (all products - default) or product plugin (single product)
