Functionality

Although the Coldstone game creation software itself only runs on the Mac OS platform[2][3], 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 software is designed to provide a full solution for creating role-playing or adventure-style games.[4] 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.[5]

Availability

The Coldstone game engine is currently indicated as being "Discontinued" with regard to the latest version information on the Ambrosia Software Web site.[6] According to Ambrosia Software, the Coldstone software has certain flaws to be dealt with before it is made available.[7]
