Post by: Redfar on July 18, 2009, 08:56:18 pm: I mean like some kind of open source program, it dosent have to be great, I recently got a new computer and lost my old one so no more 2003, i dont want to go find another one so dose anyone know where a good free little program for a is.

I was thinking of Gamemaker, beacuse I would like to make an action game, but I want RPG elements in it,

Post by: Redfar on July 18, 2009, 09:11:00 pm: Actually, I was thinking more of a sidescrolling action game (not a platformer) then an RPG, so would Gamemaker be good for that, also where can I get gamemaker online

Yeah, Game Maker would work well. You should probably try googling it before asking though.

But either way, http://www.yoyogames.com/make

By the way it's horrible so just go with "game maker"

Post by: datamanc3r on July 19, 2009, 06:36:02 pm: Nessiah mentioned Scirra Construct, which is an open source game maker under the GNU license. It's a newer one, so it doesn't have a big tutorial or resource base, but I rather like it more than game maker. Kind of reminiscent of rm2k, in my opinion. Anyway, game maker is fine, too.

Post by: JMickle on July 19, 2009, 08:26:35 pm: construct is more powerful than game maker lite, and i can see it be a lot quicker and easier to use once you get used to it. unfortuneatly i cant be bothered to learn how to use it as i really dont make much game-wise any more but it did look pretty good when i tried it out

Post by: something bizarre and impractical on July 20, 2009, 09:10:40 am: Construct is still in beta, but yes it is significantly more powerful than GameMaker and since it is using DirectX for rendering it doesn't suffer from such tight graphical and effect limitations. It is really quite intuitive if you've already used GameMaker as well.
