What is SWS?
SWS (Spawn & Wave System) is a complete spawning and wave management system for Game Creator 2. Create Tower Defense games, Roguelike survival arenas, resource gathering systems, and more — all through Visual Scripting with no coding required.
SWS provides a robust foundation for any game that needs to spawn entities in waves, manage their lifecycle, and track their status. Whether you're building a classic tower defense with path-following enemies or a bullet-heaven roguelike with endless spawning, SWS has you covered.
