BYOND

If you are looking for BYOND, you have come to the right place. We explain what BYOND is and point you to the official download.

What is BYOND?

BYOND is both an application and a community: the former refers to the software used to create games that are played by members of the latter. The BYOND software is specifically used to create free online multiplayer games accessible through the BYOND site. While many people refer to the game development application as the BYOND game development program, its actual name is in fact Dream Maker.

BYOND’s Dream Maker is an agglomeration of game tools that permit users to develop their games more easily than with other game developers requiring boilerplate code: the software in Dream Maker takes care of most of the coding details, sparing game developers that job. There are of course still editors for code and interfaces in the program. For instance, the program immediately supplies the user with a two-dimensional tiled world on which to create maps—which he can then generate straight on that world with the map editor. This saves the user the hassle of having to script a code that will load the map for him from another file.

The software makes use of a programming language exclusive to it, which developers designed for object-orientation and simplicity.
