Released 2007

Cre8or is a computer game creation program, written by Keith Tabert[1], AKA "Kappax" (alternatively "Kappa")[2], that is centered around use of resources from the 3d modeling program Anim8or. It uses a project format with the extension ".cr8", is an XML-based format. Files of this kind do not seem to be strictly correct XML, however, as many contain unescaped sections of special-character-containing text and binary data.[3] Cr8 files may embed the Anim8or project (.an8) file, or they may reference an external one; however, the editor warns that distribution of games is difficult if not embedded[4].

Cre8or may use Squirrel scripts.

Creator was released in 2007[5] and last updated in 2009[6]. A "cooldude234" apparently made an effort to "remake" it, which seems to have lasted from 2011[2] to 2016, when the "first public release" was still forthcoming[7].

Identification

Cre8or files have a root element with the name "Project".
