If you want to get started making your own games, here are some places you can look:
Novice Level - These tools do NOT require you to know much about programming!
http://www.enterbrain.co.jp/tkool/RPG_XP/eng/ - RPG Maker, for making games like old NES RPGs. Comes with a bunch of free graphics. (Free demo, costs money)
http://www.renpy.org/wiki/renpy/Home_Page - RenPy, for making games similar to Fatal Hearts (without the puzzles) (Completely free)
http://www.clickteam.com/eng/mmf2.php - Multimedia Fusion, which can make lots of kinds of games in a weird graphical-timeline development system (I haven't used it. Free demo, costs money.)
http://www.yoyogames.com/make - Game Maker, can make all kinds of games with either a simple drag-and-drop interface or a programming language when you're ready for it (Free version with restricted features, pay for all features)
http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/ - Adventure Game Studio, for making adventure games like the really old Sierra ones. (Completely free.)
Not-so-Novice Level - You need to know some programming for these
http://www.garagegames.com/products/torque/tgb/ - Torque Game Builder
http://www.phelios.com/ptk/ - PTK Game Engine
Not Yet Existing
http://metaplace.com/ - Metaplace, a cool project to let people build their own online... thingies. It's not done, though, and no idea when or if it will be. |
