Making a Video Game
Is there a way to make a video game using anime studio. And if so, please tell.
No, you can't make a video game JUST with AS.
You can create the animations and images that would be used in some other software to make a game. Like a game engine. There are bunches of free open source game engines. Use AS to make the images for the game. Use something else to create the game.

Like the other guys said, not directly, no. But the guys working on the Metroid: Alpha Hatch fan game (http://grou.ps/metroidalphahatch) have found an interesting way to use AnimeStudio for a game project. They have implemented a version of AS's 2D bone system inside their game engine so they can directly use the bone animation data from the Anime studio files, without having to pre-render everything as sprites. I have a feeling that they don't support warping or anything, but I could be wrong. Anyway, it should make for a really unique look and feel to the game and really makes me wish Mike would integrate his real-time 2D renderer into a game engine.
