Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted October 10, 2012 (edited) Double posted so the first post is free of casual conversation! Well making this list I found a lot, but I am being some what picky because some I found where not true Game Making Software. However, I did find a few I did not know existed like Game Salade, Engine001, and Construct 2 which I will be checking out.I have tried RPG Tool Kit and did not care for it, but that was back in 2009 so who knows if they changed anything since then and Jump Craft (originally called Game Studio) I found rather limited in power.Out of the commercial ones I liked Garage Games Torque 2D the best and if you have the extra money I say buy it. It does have a Free Trail available as well.~Keven Edited October 11, 2012 by Noob Saibot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) Are you looking for the whole list or just top end commercial products? You can post any you know and I'll add them to the list. It's a work in progress type thing. ~Keven Edited October 11, 2012 by Noob Saibot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Should not edit ROMs. So I think if it doesn't do that then it should be okay. ~Keven Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 (edited) RPGToolkit is the same as I remember it, simple but bugged lol Another good choice is 3d Flash Animator, good at what it does the only issue is that it has a memory leak issue and will eventually crash after being open for a extended period of time, so save often lol, in fact my first project of importance was a joint effort between the toolkit and 3dfa and the toolkit was for the game side and the 3dfa was for the launcher. I don't see why the Bethesda modding software shouldn't count since it directly involves the editing and creation of game content.

Marked 197 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Are you looking for the whole list or just top end commercial products? Lets consider the purpose of the topic for a moment. Googling a bunch of engines without properly looking into them is just going to dilute the list and the topic becomes useless. That may not be what you meant, but I think we should keep it high quality. I don't see why the Bethesda modding software shouldn't count since it directly involves the editing and creation of game content. Is it inside of the game itself?

Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 No, it requires the game to be installed to access the data files but the editors are separate software: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted October 11, 2012 Theres also UDK for really advanced game making. http://www.unrealengine.com/udk/ Its free/comercial I cant believe borderlands 2 was made with it. I was thinking about learning it and making a 2d RPG with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ShinGamix 1 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 I didn't google anything Marked! I actually have had those for a while now. and I notice that the console makers such as RPG Maker 2 are not included in this list? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Polraudio 122 Report post Posted October 20, 2012 I didn't google anything Marked! I actually have had those for a while now. and I notice that the console makers such as RPG Maker 2 are not included in this list? I think the list is for PC. Theres no way to distribute your game. I dont see someone selling PS2 memory cards with RPG Maker 2 games on them. And with the requirement of the disk to play them it makes it a real pain to distribute. Would be nice if they made a PC version of RPG Maker 2. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broken Messiah 20 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Isn't a pc version of rpg maker 2 basically 3d rpg maker? Noticed were rpgtoolkit is under 3d, unless somethings changed its 2d. Edited October 22, 2012 by Broken Messiah Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) Just like to say, the list looks amazing and very usefull, good work! Thank you. More will be added soon. Noticed were rpgtoolkit is under 3d, unless somethings changed its 2d. No it isn't. It clearly says 2D and filters only in the 2D filter (and free).

Jar Of Dirt 0 Report post Posted November 2, 2012 Could we add CryENGINE 3 to the list? It's free for non-commercial use. http://mycryengine.com/ It's also what I'll be using to develop my games on. That is, once I learn C++. Going to FSU for a baccalaureate in Game Design so.. Yeah. Anyway, /topic. CryENGINE 3, for those who don't know, is the third revision of the CryENGINE which was used to make Crysis. Crysis, back when it was released, required a SEVERELY high-end computer to play. Its quality in resolution is about 4 times that of Crysis 2. I'm glad that Crytek decided to release their engine for free to people like ourselves. Some companies will release it for free, but they take a chunk of your profit. I think that UDK did that with UDK 2. Right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Noob Saibot 38 Report post Posted November 29, 2012 (edited) Stencyl has been on the list since I created it. Nice list, but I think Stencyl has actually been around for a long time. Stencyl is not that old. The software itself (from release date) is quite young. Edited November 29, 2012 by Noob Saibot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
