The Coldstone game engine is a game creation suite for the Macintosh developed by Beenox Studios and Ambrosia Software.[1] Although the Coldstone game creation software itself only runs on the Mac OS[2][3], it is capable of compiling stand-alone games that run on the Mac OS 9 platform, the Mac OS X platform, or the Windows platform[1]. The software is designed to provide a full solution for creating role-playing or adventure-style games.[4] The full version of Coldstone shipped with a CD of royalty free artwork for use in one's custom games[1]. A commercial game, titled Pillars of Garendall, was produced in-house at Ambrosia to demonstrate the Coldstone software's abilities.[5]
The Coldstone game engine is currently not available from Ambrosia Software.[6] According to Ambrosia Software, the Coldstone software has certain flaws to be dealt with before it is made available.[7]
