Just questions :)

No way... For real...? Without any experience...?

Building quests and maps requires no coding skills

Eh, how would that work...?
Like you mean sharing ideas on the forum...?

No. Using our proprietary Andor's Trail Content Studio application

Is this not the complete source code? https://github.com/AndorsTrailRelease/ATCS

That is the source of ATCS, the content editor with which we create new projects.
The game source itself is here https://github.com/AndorsTrailRelease/andors-trail

Very good, thank you.

I was confused, since Antison said it was proprietary, which usually means closed-source. What license is the ATCS licensed under? I know the game itself is licensed under GPL 2.0.

Also, the latest release for ATCS on github is at May 1, 2020. Is there an updated studio, or is that really the latest? https://github.com/AndorsTrailRelease/ATCS .

The fact that it's proprietary is irrelevant. My point was that it was an application that was built in-house.
And whether or not it's open-sourced is also irrelevant.
And the version of ATCS that we are using internally is relatively brand new and has not been merged into the latest release.

Don't mix the things here. In fact there are 3 sources:

- ATCS editor: This is just our content editor. It was created by a former developer, so it's free to use for Andor's Trail development. Its sources lie in a git repository.

- ATCS Projects: The content created by ATCS is held in another git repository - one repository for each new release.

- AndorsTrail game source: This is the source that is finally compiled to the game APK.
ATCS has an export function that can merge an ATCS project to the game source.

Normally developers just work on ATCS projects and do not compile the APK. (The setup is a bit tricky, so I do it from time to time during development)

And everything we create is open source and under gnu license.
