Qoole-AID Feature List
The following is the current and most up to date list of functionality
that will appear in Qoole-AID V1.0. While this may seem an extensive list,
keep in mind that more than half of the features originally submitted by
the Qoole-AID Team were dropped in the final review. The features included
on this page are those we feel are most important to game developers and
total conversion authors. Indeed some of the functionality listed here is
not supported by most of the games on the market today. Those games and
those who create content for those games are not our target audience.
Certainly Qoole-AID can and should be used for creating content for other
games, but we are looking to the future rather than the present for the
features you will need. After all, what good is a tool if you can't use it
for what YOU want.
