Detailed Review
Visionaire Studio is built around adventure games: scenes, interactive objects, inventory, dialogue and puzzles are handled by the editor, and the homepage says no programming experience is needed.
The imprint names Visionaire Studio UG (limited liability), Brüderweg 252, 57074 Siegen, Germany. The site lists games by studios such as Daedalic Entertainment as made with the engine.
Licences
The shop sells a PRO licence at €75 for development and distribution licences per commercial title: Desktop €99, Mobile €249, Console €650 and Complete €850 including physical retail. PRO is included in each distribution licence.
Workflow
The editor offers scene and object placement, interface and control design, character animation and dialogue with choices and voice recordings.
Free version
A free version can be downloaded to learn the editor and build prototypes or freeware projects.
Limitations to Consider
It is specialised for adventures; platformers or 3D games need another engine such as Godot. Distribution licences are per title and per platform scope, so costs add up across releases. Console releases also require platform approvals.
Who Should Use Visionaire Studio
Narrative designers and small studios making point-and-click adventures who want a German vendor and no code.
