Orbem Studio is a no-code browser game engine that runs entirely inside WordPress.

Build real games with combat, NPCs, missions, inventory, cutscenes, boss fights. Publish them as a URL on your own site. No Unity. No canvas. No downloads. Your game lives on a WordPress page.

The engine handles movement, collision, triggers, progression, and state entirely through WordPress systems. If you can install a plugin, you can build a game.

Why Developers Use Orbem Studio

Most browser game tools require canvas, external libraries, or separate hosting. Orbem Studio runs inside WordPress itself. Your game is a page on your site and shareable as a URL, playable in any browser, no app store required.

The simultaneous build and playtest workflow means you place an object and immediately walk your character into it to test. No mode switching. No recompiling. Just build and play.

What You Can Build

Orbem Studio ships with systems for:

Combat with directional attacks, heavy attacks, charged attacks, and boss fight mechanics
Enemies with wander, runner, and projectile behaviors, health bars, and hurt animations
Missions and progression with branching chains, conditional triggers, and persistent player state
Cutscenes and scripted events with per-area music, sound effects, and cinematic playback
Inventory with weapons, gear, consumables, and equip logic
Mobile controls with d-pad support and landscape mode
Developer mode with live object placement, visual trigger overlays, and a front end wall builder

External Services

This plugin connects to third-party services to provide optional functionality related to authentication and text-to-speech features.

Google Text-to-Speech API

Orbem Studio can optionally use the Google Text-to-Speech API to generate spoken audio for in-game dialogue and narration.

What the service is used for:
The service is used to convert in-game cutscene and explainer popup text content into synthesized speech audio.

What data is sent and when:
When text-to-speech is enabled by the site administrator and triggered by player interaction, the plugin sends the following data to Google:

The text content to be synthesized
The configured language and voice parameters
The API key provided by the site administrator

No personal user data is sent by default. The text content is only sent at the moment audio generation is requested.

What the service is used for:
The service is used to verify the authenticity of a Google ID token during login.

What data is sent and when:
When a user logs in using Google Sign-In, the plugin sends the Google ID token provided by the user’s browser. This request is made once per login attempt to verify the token’s validity. The plugin does not store Google credentials.
