The Coldstone game engine is a game creation suite for the Macintosh developed by Beenox Studios and Ambrosia Software.[1]

As of December 2008, the Coldstone game engine has been indicated as being "Discontinued" with regard to the latest version information on the Ambrosia Software Web site.[2] According to Ambrosia Software, the Coldstone software has certain flaws to be dealt with before it is made available.[3]

Functionality

The Coldstone game creation software is designed to provide a full solution for creating role-playing or adventure-style games.[4] Although the Coldstone software itself only runs on the Mac OS platform,[5][6] it is capable of compiling stand-alone games that run on the Mac OS 9 platform, the Mac OS X platform, or the Windows platform.[1] The full version of Coldstone shipped with a CD of royalty free artwork for use in one's custom games.[1] A commercial game titled Pillars of Garendall was produced in-house at Ambrosia to demonstrate the Coldstone software's abilities.[7]

Reception

MacWorld gave the Coldstone software a rating of 3.5 out of 5, citing the software's extensive technical capabilities along with a steep learning curve and the need for the user to supply their own creativity.[4]
