spirited away Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I recently found out about these programs from Goron when he metnioned his new Tales Of Symphonia game he's made using it. I donwloaded it and it's a pretty nifty piece of software, the best thing being you don't need any programming knowledge. Me and a few mates are gonna work on an rpg over Summer Anyway, I though I'd make this thread so people can discuss their current projects or post links to them and can offer help to beginners like me:p Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ramar Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I had RPG2k3, I believe. Its was horrible to use, easy enough to piece something together. But the short 5 minute sequence of an rpg I made was too linear and I just couldn't set up the things I wanted to do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Goron_3 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 This is probably the best game making programme I've ever come across. You can practically make anything you want (hence my Tales of Symphonia remake :P). Simply awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCK Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bwah, learn C++ and the DirectX API, that's the real shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LazyBoy Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bwah, learn C++ and the DirectX API, that's the real shit. Can you suggest somewhere to start. Consider I know nothing about programming. Thanks plenty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bogbas Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bwah, learn C++ and the DirectX API, that's the real shit. And while you'te at it, learn some advanced maths and physics. So basically if you really want to be a progammer you have to take the courses on a uni level. Can you suggest somewhere to start. Consider I know nothing about programming. Thanks plenty. But to start with the basics buy a learning book for C++ there's usually a cd that includes a compiler. You should be making your first "hello world" program in no time. After you get the hang of c++ download the directx API from microsoft (I think it's free...) And start making simple games. Note that this kind of thing rquires lots of free time and devotion.

Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 Bwah, learn C++ and the DirectX API, that's the real shit. Assembly is the real shit. A month to make a freaking 2 digit calculator. Btw, i started some projects in RPG maker back then, but i got bored 5 minutes after i started. But i'm a lazy person, so... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamish Posted July 8, 2006 Share Posted July 8, 2006 I am currently making a adaptation of the book "A Wonderful Wizard of Oz" into an RPG. Think about it, think about the plot, it suits an RPG format perfectly. My other projects have been Shenmue 3, Continent (about dinosaurs really) and Pure Light: Fire and Water (a spoof of RPGs). I also secretly want to make a Doctor Who game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No, I've toyed with it before, but like many of my projects, it was a completely stupid idea. I mean, really, it couldn't work. I guess I just wanted to make Doctor Who sprites I guess.

Blue_Ninja0 Posted July 9, 2006 Share Posted July 9, 2006 Have you googled? There must be a truckload of them. But RPG Maker is really simple and if you try a little harder you won't need a tutorial. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
