So you want to do something? How about we design a game, and maybe mock up some screens and possibly even get something working. I have been looking at diy game creation programs recently and thought it may be an interesting diversion, something that a lot of people could pool some ideas on. Sound interesting? Our game can be completely fictional, allowing us to go crazy or we can ground it in reality and actually get a working engine running.
A list of affordable creation software, which could be feasable if this takes off. Some of the programs even allow an online game to be designed. It could be as graphically simple as old school Zelda or as complex as a ps1 title. Ideas, suggestions? 1. The game must have custom character creation. |

The program that Shaq one was made in is called RPG Tsukuru (Maker) 2000. There's an updated version called RPG Maker 2003. RM2k3 was essentially a revamped 2000 with some added features, including a side-view default battle system. The latest in that series is RPG Maker XP, which of course runs on WinXP. This one gives you nearly infinite customization, HOWEVER you'll have to code it in a language called RGSS (which is similar to VB and others). Some amazing things have been done with this.
