But i want to see if i can make a program then >put >it up on the site, and hopefully people will vote for my program... but if >anyone has a program or some info on making RPG's that would be great! > > ~thanks~ I know this is a rather old message I'm responding to but I thought I'd leave a few coments on the board since I'm involved in the creation of an RPG myself. I must say the more I learn about RPGs the more I understand that the label "Role Playing Game" is a VERY BROAD category. I'll assume that your RPG is one that will manage player statistics, skills, weapons, and armor, since most modern RPGs do. But even so there are hundreds of vastly different ways to implement it. Even assuming you are going to make it a graphical game, that alone is a part that has several possibilities. Are you going to make it 3D? isometric? Top-down? side-scroller? Is it more skill oriented? What skills will apply? Will the player's main statistics increase (like diablo) or just skills? The role playing genre has been succesfully merged with several other genres: first-person-3D, arcade, adventure (the classic), strategy (Rage of Mages). You need to consider how the player will control his/her character(s): mouse? keyboard? joystick? any combination? Will your game be turn-based, or realtime, or both? These are just a few things to considder. If you have any specific questions feel free to ask me and I will answer to the best of my ability. :) later, Lewis Townsend ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com
