AGI Studio is the main development suite for AGI development. While it doesn't support all the aspects of AGI (that's why there are support tools), it does a good job for the most of it. The original version was by Peter Kelly but, due to other commitments, was unable to keep on working on it. Two new verions have spawned from his project however: Nailhead's new version is a continuation off the original source, with extra features.

When you'll want to run your game, you will need an AGI interpreter to execute it in. The Sierra PC Interpreter was origianlly written for the PCjr and XT so it will work fine under most operating systems except Windows ME, 2000 and XP which have compatiblity problems. However, NAGI (New Adventure Game Interpreter) is a clone of Sierra's own AGI which they created and used through the 80's. It has excellent compatibility with most games, supports full channel music, mouse, all versions of the interpreter, save games and checksum identification.

You can download all sorts of AGI development tools on Nick Sonneveld's website.
