Game Development Tools

Adventure Game Studio (AGS) is a mature toolchain for building classic point&click adventures, combining a Windows-based editor with a cross-platform C++ engine. At hobby scale, AGS feels predictable; at enterprise scale—live events, localization-heavy titles, storefront builds, automated testing farms, and multi-platform shipping—it reveals non-obvious failure modes. This troubleshooting guide targets senior engineers and technical leaders who need more than quick fixes. We focus on root causes, architectural implications, and durable remediation strategies for rendering glitches, script runtime faults, asset pipeline hazards, savegame breaks, localization traps, packaging bugs, and performance regressions across the AGS editor, engine, and deployment workflows.

GDevelop is a powerful open-source, no-code game development platform that enables rapid prototyping and multi-platform publishing. While it lowers entry barriers for developers, production-scale projects often hit complex troubleshooting scenarios. From event system bottlenecks, rendering glitches, and export pipeline inconsistencies to asset bloat and plugin conflicts, senior engineers and technical leads must dive deeper than surface-level debugging. This guide addresses advanced GDevelop troubleshooting, with a focus on root causes, architectural considerations, and strategies for long-term stability in professional game projects.
