THE PLAYMAKER DIFFERENCE

Easy To Understand

Other visual scripting tools expose the Unity API (written for programmers) and the C# programming language as thousands of nodes. If you already know how to code you can probably build what you need, but it's a huge learning curve for non-programmers!

PlayMaker takes a higher-level approach, offering an intuitive structure with States, Actions, and Events to quickly build behaviors. This empowers both non-programmers and programmers to create more quickly and efficiently.

Production Ready

PlayMaker has been used in hundreds of shipped products, including Hearthstone, INSIDE, Hollow Knight, The First Tree, Dreamfall Chapters, Firewatch, and more. We've worked with AAA studios and solo indie developers to ensure PlayMaker meets their needs on every platform.

Performance

Other visual scripting solutions use delegates or reflection calls for every single node in the graph. Even simple behaviors need many nodes. This quickly adds up to a significant performance hit.

PlayMaker actions are C# scripts like any other script in your project. Calling them is quick and efficient. You also need fewer actions to do the same work as dozens of nodes in other visual scripting tools.

Ecosystem

PlayMaker has an active user community with admins and power users online to answer your questions. The Ecosystem Browser offers easy access to a continually expanding collection of custom actions, tutorials, samples, templates, and more.

Many third-party assets offer PlayMaker support, featuring easy-to-use Actions that eliminate the need to decipher APIs written for programmers.
