About

Lassie Adventure Studio is an adventure game platform built with Adobe Flash. The studio consists of a game editor tool which allows quick and easy definition of environments and interactions through a graphical interface, as well as a game player application to run the final game. The Lassie engine’s default game playback uses a verb disc interaction system very similar to the one seen in the Lucas Arts classic, “The Curse of Monkey Island”. While Lassie shares many similarities to the classic Lucas Arts SCUMM engine, Lassie is not a direct port of SCUMM technology.

Lassie is an on-going project that is evolving with the changing landscape of multimedia. Over the past decade, three generations of the Lassie engine have been released using the modern multimedia standard. The latest version of the system is Lassie Shepherd, built entirely within Flash 10 and ActionScript 3.
