Headcannon Game Engine, (shortened HCGE) is a script-driven, multiplatform 2D game engine with included development tools, created by Stealth and developed under the Headcannon brand.
Complete documentation for creating games is included with Windows, Linux, and Mac builds, and is also available on the website. A generic template from which to build new games is also available from both the in-program downloads list and the website, as well as an open example of fully-featured gameplay.
Games created or hosted by the author and his team(s) are directly downloadable from inside the program. Updates for the program, or any installed game, can also be downloaded from the same interface when they become available.
