inform7 is surprisingly capable as a language--the problem is the experience for the player is terrible.

Where do I get unity tho
Corshmell
UDK? How old is this. UE4 has been out for like 6 years now. Use UE4.

I wrote a text based adventure in python that randomly generates a map, placement of enemies and items. For my intro to python course.

All I think of when I see Unity is The Slaughtering Grounds.

Dear god stop lowering the bar to entry for games. There's already enough garbage out there I have to sift through.
EroticZombiePants
I imagine it would still take me many years to make my dream rpg though.
TheDudeSkywalker
So where's the game OP? You favorites this for a reason
Daymaster1
I'm sorry I'M SO SORRY!!!!!

Good video game making resources starting point
FullMetalMonika
im favoriting this shit
rustyhawker
no mention of blender? It is like a collection of most 3d tools mentioned and it's bloody free!!
HighFlyKai
The only tool that really matters is determination. If you have it you will be able to make stuff. So if you really want to make games,
HighFlyKai
don't wait. Just get started! Learn from mistakes and tussle with the basics until you've got a good understanding of them. You can do it!
Prinzka
Oh yeah, Crystal warrior keshia, that's a quality game. Oh wait it's a twenty line POS text game?
SeismicCoin
in spite of the "quotes" auttoton put on "programming" theres no logical reason why drag-and-drop wouldnt be able to do everything a "real
SeismicCoin
programming language could do. the quotes may have been for them being scripting languages, but i was VERY impressed when i first saw drag
SeismicCoin
and drop programming in action. personally i think its the future, or at least a big part of it.
kraeftig
I heard rumblings that the MMORPG SWTOR was designed to enable drag-and-drop dungeon development. (if not more than just that)

This is a pretty dang fantastic resource!

I saved it to use, but never did

Unity is awesome. I started with it 3 months ago and have already made a complete arcade game.

A lot the points of advice are wrong or poorly qualified
Daymaster1
I mean if you'd care to share your favorite free game creation engines I'm sure everyone would appreciate the constructive input.
Bonsaipanda
I don't know, I do professional game development and my tools of choice are Unity3D, Inkscape and Blender. The answers seem pretty solid.
PokoOnoandtheJamJams
FL Studio is not free, SketchUp is not free, Maya is ultra expensive, OBS kills Debut. Again, answers are pretty badly researched
SoIJustWriteAnythingHere
FL STUDIO? FREE? If you want a free software use LMMS, it's actually really good.
kraeftig
There's not much about FL Studio that is free. It's hardly functional free.
ItHappenedInThe20thCentury
Yep. For that price, get Reaper and then use the remaining 29 bucks to celebrate how you just got a way better product.
GoatOfMendes
They need either a drag and drop, or text based game maker for Android...

Excuse me but their forgetting about humanities greatest achievement, RPG maker
Nykidemus
I've got rpg maker VX ace, but I've only ever started it up once. got any real basic tutorials?
l3fth3ch4t
Nah never used it just knew about it

Reminds me of the time I put my kid in a Scratch camp. This kid gets up at the end and demos this game he supposedly wrote in his hour (1/2)
fadecomic
session. Kid gets award. I go home, download Scratch. The game is a demo that comes with Scratch. How did the teachers not know this? (2/2)
LoadsOfMana
As someone who taught at a camp that had a scratch course, they hire some clueless people. One of the courses we had was minecraft modding
LoadsOfMana
And the one teaching it had never played minecraft. I had to keep helping her while teaching my course.

This is an alien concept and makes me upset

Fucking aliens fucking up our fucking concepts and fucking making us fucking upset.

Bradolan
You use camel case in natural language?
ItWasCool
That was pascal case
Bradolan
Also named upper camel case.
ItWasCool
Formally named Pascal case :p
sleetewayne
Would you prefer snake_case?
rezpawner
In order to make something more than a mod, you need to learn programming if you're going to use Unity, or UDK. Just sayin'.
HighFlyKai
Unreal Engine has a visual programming tool built in that's actually quite powerful. Unity has some excellent premium plugins for it too
rezpawner
If you're serious about that, then I highly recommend Quill18Creates on youtube.
mormacil
Technically you can buy gameplay modules.
Daymaster1
I agree, but you can make a huge mod that is basically a full game. PUBG and DotA to name 2
rezpawner
No. No you can't.
rezpawner
In order to make a new game, you'll need functions that aren't pre-made, and those will have to be programmed. You WILL need programming.
rezpawner
That's not to say that you can't do a lot with drag & drop pre-made functions, but you'll hit a wall at some point.
GigavoltFox
For 3D modeling and animation, I think Blender is free now
millenniumf
Yeah, but the animating aspect has less of a learning curve and more of a learning cliff.
wyrde
The cliff
Legateus
Always was, if u dared to use it.
ProbeGT
Nope, it was commercial software prior to 2003.
RepostFromLastWeek
It think the implication here is torrents etc.
afterdinneromelets
It sure is! Was it not-free at one point?
ProbeGT
Yes, prior to the crowdfunding in late 2002.
Bonsaipanda
It has always been free.
therewk
Free and open source.
ProbeGT
No, it was commercial from 1995 until late 2002.
ItWasCool
now?
ProbeGT
Yes, it was commercial software prior to 2003.
ItWasCool
It just feels unnecessary to say “now” when it’s been free for 75% of its life time
SpaceballsTheComment
But that was, like, five years ago!
