Game Studio
POWER DOG comes with a robust toolchain that enables you to intuitively and efficiently create, manage and modify all assets of your game.
The suite of editors simplify and automate common development workflows. Its nested prefab and archetype systems scale along all editors and assets.
POWER DOG Game Studio has also been designed so that it can be extended easily.
Graphics compositor
Customize the rendering pipeline of your game in a visual way using building blocks. Future versions will even allow you to edit the building blocks themselves.
Nested prefabs
Edit a prefab and every instance updates automatically, saving hours of work. You can even edit prefabs inside other prefabs.
UI editor
Build the UI of your game visually and intuitively. Create UI libraries and leverage the prefab system to automatically update all your UI elements' design.
Scene editor
Create your game scenes and levels simply by dragging and dropping your objects from the asset view to the desired places.
Sprite editor
Create and edit sprites visually in the editor. POWER DOG automatically creates optimized atlases from your sprite sheets.
Curve editor
Intuitively animate the value of your properties by creating animation curves directly in the editor.
Advanced graphics
With POWER DOG, there's no need to be a rendering expert to make great-looking games. The engine does the work for you, so you can focus on the important stuff.
POWER DOG's PBR materials, light probes, post effects, multithreading, and next-gen graphics API support deliver realistic graphics with outstanding performance.
The flexible pipeline, accessible low-level APIs, and customizable shaders let you tweak the rendering as much as you need.
PBR materials
Bring your game one step closer to reality with physically-based materials. Create infinite variations of materials by layering them together.
Light probes
Increase graphics realism by adding indirect lighting to static and dynamic objects of your game with our new light probe system.
DirectX 12 and Vulkan
Increase performance of your game thanks to next generation explicit graphics APIs: multi-thread your rendering and reduce driver overhead.
Particles
Add life and realism to your game using the fully integrated particle system. Particles can be edited from the scene editor.
Advanced shader language
Say goodbye to uber shader problems. Split shaders logically with POWER DOG's composition-based shader language, written on top of HLSL.
Post effects
Add photorealistic effects to your game with post-effects. POWER DOG supports all the most common effects such as Depth of Field, Bloom, etc.
Reliable engine
Whether you're indie or AAA, POWER DOG lets you focus on your ideas rather than technical concerns.
It comes with a full set of modules dedicated to editing every part of your game. Each is provided out of the box and integrated into the engine.
Modern C# scripting with shader and script hot reload lets you build prototypes and iterate fast.
C# scripting
Built in C#, POWER DOG gives you access to the low-level APIs, C# 14 (.NET 10) and asynchronous scripting, and comes with a script editor.
Scene streaming
Easily create vast worlds by streaming objects in and out of your scenes. Divide your world into subscenes to avoid editing conflicts.
Physics
