# AwakeKt Studio

> AwakeKt Studio (also called Awake Studio) is the visual editor for AwakeKt Engine, a Kotlin Multiplatform game engine. You build 2D and 3D scenes, on-screen game UI, logic as node graphs and shaders as node graphs, without writing code; press Play to try the game inside Studio; and publish it so anyone can play it in the browser at studio.awakekt.com. Studio runs in the browser (it needs WebGPU) and as a native Windows, Mac, and Android app. It is in alpha.

Studio is free to start. Studio Pro costs $9 a month or $79 a year; a Team plan is coming soon. Awake never takes royalties or a cut of what a game earns. A game that needs more than Studio's data can add Kotlin code of its own, documented with the engine at https://docs.awakekt.com/.

## Get started

- [Open Studio in your browser](https://studio.awakekt.com/web/): the full editor as a web app; needs a browser with WebGPU, such as a current Chrome or Edge.
- [Download Studio](https://studio.awakekt.com/download/): the platform chooser for Windows (x64), Mac (Apple silicon, macOS 14+), and Android (.apk).
