game design software- recommendations?

Izzle · 08-10-2006, 03:39 AM

i'm looking into getting an RPG writing engine but i really don't know which one to go for, having no experience with programming...i'd like to make something old school, snes-style graphics etc but with fairly sophisticated gameplay possibilities. any suggestions?

ChristHimself! · 08-10-2006, 03:40 AM

wtf

if you have no programming experience and no one to help you then this is doomed

You guys hear E3 is done for? I dont think thats been talked abour here.

Izzle · 08-10-2006, 03:42 AM

that hard, huh? poop

TIMb · 08-10-2006, 03:42 AM

i write most of my stuff in ms-word.

Does the oldschool thing very well. Minimal coding required for simple shit.

i would have thought that your best bet if you're doing it alone with no experience is to try and make a basic rpg using lds' favourite, Flash.

don't trust brendo he's a liar and he raped me

Izzle · 08-10-2006, 03:45 AM

From that list, Darkbasic is cool but probably better suited to 3d first person stuff. I still stand by my Verge reccomendation.

Elvis The Fat Years · 08-10-2006, 03:47 AM

will i be in your game, izzle?

this has given me a cunning idea. thanks elvis.

izzle i say as a starter (obviously not using that lying rapist's recommendation) you make an rpg involving the gen board

the aim is to bring down cheez by convincing mistle to kill himself, then using his heartstrings to make a bow that you can fire monte's tears with. the soundtrack should be a combination of wolf eyes and mallow

brendo_91 · 08-10-2006, 03:59 AM

When did I rape you?

Izzle, it might behoove you to learn some basic programming before you jump into it.

You should be able to follow logic, etc... here's a bit of pseudocode for ya:

Code:

Start

  Print "Input a number greater than zero"

  Input A

  If A > 0 then
     print "Your input was greater than zero. Well done"
   else
     print "You fucktard."
  endif

end

If you can follow what is going on here, then great - if not, then pick a language, any language, and start trying to learn it.

If you go with Verge, for example, the backend is a variation on C. Darkbasic is obviously a variation of BASIC.

somehow, i THINK i vaguely understood that...mummy always said i was special

i'm 100% with you on the mallow suggestion, but i thought it would be more fun to assemble a band of brave netphorians to go forth and rescue b0lly from himself.

Serious? Didn't hear that one.

brendo_91 · 08-10-2006, 04:25 AM

Yeh, there will be SOMETHING but it won't be E3 as we know it.

the · 08-10-2006, 05:10 AM

what the crap.
i want to make a game too/
:/

ChristHimself! · 08-10-2006, 05:17 AM

With such software it would be possible to make a game which consists of sexual contests between prince of persia lookalikes

Mablak · 08-10-2006, 05:23 AM

I don't know how you can make a good RPG without being a good programmer, you really should edumucate yourself something fierce. The RPG I'm creating most of the art for will be 2D and oldschoolish, but even that is being done in PHP by an adept programmer. If you want sophisticated gameplay possibilities I doubt you'll be able to easily use any engine

tcm · 08-10-2006, 05:25 AM

old school, you say? Inform!

er, graphics? carry on, then...

Mexicola · 08-10-2006, 05:29 AM

Any of the RPG Maker series can do it.
