Sword of Moonlight is an underappreciated tool for older Windows versions for making King's Field style games.

Only a handful of projects have been completed in English, but it's a pretty friendly tool as long as you're willing to go to the trouble of emulating Windows XP.

There's a fan-made update called Sword of Moonlight Ex, but I've never tried it.

Currently the best resource is the Tutorial page on swordofmoonlight.com.

There used to be a wiki at swordofmoonlight.com/somwiki/, but it's no longer up. Wayback Machine version seems incomplete, but might work if you try different dates for different sections.

Will piece together information at Guide:Sword of Moonlight.
