List of Genres and Engines

[Marked 197]

As I've been blogging about recently I am creating an application which allows you to display information about your projects. I'm just about to wrap up that part of the application but I need 2 lists that I'm probably not capable of creating myself.

 

In the application you will be able to choose what engine you made your project with and what genre it is (RPG, Action, Horror). Or perhaps there should be 2 genre boxes? For example, in the first box you chose RPG, then you chose from another list of say: horror, comedy, remake, fan-game, etc. I really need some advice here :)

 

Also if you guys could add any popular engines or engines you have used before that are not on this list:

RMXP

RMVX

Game Maker

Express Game Maker

RM2k (does anyone still use this?)

RM3k (or this?)

Action/Indie Game Maker

 

 

 

Thanks in advance :alright:

Wow, what a really good idea! That could help and ease people here 'cause they can more easily know about the game. I think it would be better if you just use a box, because most of people here make RPG Game.

 

And for the engine, I think you forget puts Ren'py. It's an engine to make Visual Novel or Dating Sim game which uses Phyton language program.

Um... or I'm mistaken?

Wow, you're totally my new favorite member. Such a simple topic and yet no one else replied to it.

 

Thanks for your advice :) In fact I went on to chose just one box because, when you think about it, 2 doesn't really make sense, its just unnecessary.

 

I've never heard of Ren'py before. Fortunately I still plan to complete this projects application in the reasonably distant future :)

Thank you, Marked (or senior Marked?). Well, maybe nobody replies yet because they're doing something in real world... (because I see few people currently active here right now)

 

Yeah, I also agree with your opinion. 2 boxes will also make members here confused and feel weird.

 

Yeah, Ren'Py isn't famous yet, like novelty (also VN engine). But if you want to see further info about Ren'py you can go to it's homepage here

I hope you'll successfully finish this project. I'll support you :alright:

@someoneyouknow this is an older topic, I think at this point everyone has had a chance to reply haha

 

I think this could be awesome, I am assuming you can have as many projects as you want?

 

And maybe, for the less popular engines you can just put 'Other' and a field to specify what it's called? or something

You should do two genre columns, i don't like how someone can pick rpg, or comedy, but not both.

rpg would be a type, not a genre. so in the type column it would say:

 

RPG

Adventure (like TLOZ, or other games without EXP)

Shooter

etc.

 

and in the genre column it would say:

Comedy

Fantasy

Horror

Sci-Fi

etc.

 

and make sure there is an "other" choice in the engines(didn't see kellessdee's post) . This will help a lot. i can't get the RRR game uploader thing to work, so if this works for me i will love this site even more. :alright:

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat!?

well i feel meh-ish

this is the first time i've seen this topic

@bob423 that seems to be what happened, no one noticed this topic before. I joined later so I have an excuse hehehe. And also, I never thought about genre's that way, but it makes sense because there's genre (like rpg, shooter, platformer) and then there's like the setting genre or something. That actually makes a little bit more sense, only because they're 2 different types of genres. One that based on the gameplay and the other based on the setting.
