The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

a tinkerer's toolkit that feels more like assembling your own shooter from spare parts than playing a polished one.

About

3D Shooting Tsukuru is a game in which you can make your own 3D shooter games. There are lots of settings and graphics to tinker with to make your own game the next Star Fox. You can set your vehicle's looks, movements, weapons, special attacks and much more. The same goes for the enemies, music, sounds and the stages, where you can change a plethora of things to suit your needs. Once you're satisfied you can save the game to your memory card to play the finished product later. There are also three sample games included to show what you can do with the editor. The three games are very different in style and difficulty.
