You can create a New Blank Project from scratch to develop a game or modify some basic templates (such as AVG, TD, and ACT) provided by the CliCli Editor. No matter which method you choose, you can freely set the Project Name and the saving Path.
When you choose to create a blank project, you can make the following settings:
You can set the Size of the scene, including Width (W) and Height (H). Remember, the larger scene will consume more computing resources of your computer. You can also modify the values through Details - Size in the CliCli Editor menu bar
You can choose various UI Templates for your project to decide the style including the role information and bag slot. You can also customize the UI through the UI Editor. You can preview the UI style by clicking.
You can select a theme of Terrain Texture through the drop-down menu and select a specific Terrain Texture. The selected texture will be applied to the map of the entire project. You can modify the texture in Terrain Palette during the project development.
You can select a Cliff Texture which will become the default cliff texture in the project. You can modify the cliff texture in Terrain Palette during project development.
