What they say

"Alan definitely met my expectations. I was able to create two pretty large, complex games with no prior programming experience."

Byron Campbell

"An easy to learn system with the ability to do some amazing things."

Tom

"Another thing I'm sure of, the game will again be in Alan."

Eric Mayer

"Well, it was very easy to learn and it's easy to do stuff in it."

Mikko Vuorinen

"I think its most attractive quality is simplicity, a quality that no other adventure creation language possesses."

Walt Sandsquish

"[the game] does not represent the real capabilities of the Alan Language but does demonstrate Alan's amazing ability to allow someone who has never done an iota of computer programming of any kind to produce SOMETHING within a few weeks!"

Eric Mayer (on his game HeBGB Horrors)

Looking for v2?

Alan V2 is very obsolete. Use Alan v3 instead. But you can still visit the obsolete v2 information and downloads here.
