What is Pixel Stories?

Pixel Stories is a game creation tool built specifically for creating 2D top down story-driven games.

Our game creation tool is quick to learn and easy to work with. This lets you focus on creating unique and immersive stories without being overwhelmed by the complexities in game development with a general tool.

  • Story-driven game maker designed for top‑down games.
  • Events system allows you to build dynamic and interactive gameplay.
  • Dialog System let’s you write branching dialogs.
  • Map editor makes map creation easy with auto tile terrains and map objects.
  • Custom assets support importing your own art, music, and sounds.
  • Cross‑platform support let’s you to share your game for desktop, mobile, and web.

Pixel Stories vs. Other Game Makers

Unlike other general game makers that demand a lot of coding to get started, Pixel Stories offers a straightforward game making workflow.

It’s made for 2D top down story-driven games, so it comes with all the necessary tools for that purpose. That includes an events system, dialogue editor, map editor, and default assets to help you get started. Additionally, you can easily import your own custom assets and customize different features of your game, so it has its own unique style rather than a cookie-cutter look.

We designed our game maker with accessibility in mind so that anyone can create their own game. Being web‑based, it only requires a modern browser, and its cross‑platform support ensure your game can be shared on desktop, mobile, or anywhere on the web!

Note for those coming from RPG Maker: We don’t have abritrary restrictions on game resolution, tile size or sprite animation formats! You also have full control over map editing layers. To avoid reliance on community plugins, we’ve tried to integrate all the essential features for making story-driven games directly into the game maker. If you think a feature is missing, feel free to make a feature suggestion!
