About this game

3D Construction Kit, released as Virtual Reality Studio in the United States, Canada, and Israel, is a sandbox and simulator for creating interactive 3D worlds with the Freescape engine.

Users can build environments from cubes, cuboids, and pyramids, then scale, position, and colour individual elements. Worlds are divided into areas to manage rendering, while looping and movement-based animations can bring objects to life. Players can explore creations by walking or flying.

For more game-like experiences, the kit supports sensors, switches, doors, enemies, and other interactive events through the simple Freescape Command Language. Custom 320×200, 16-colour IFF screens can also be added to tailor the interface.
