I suggest doing it the professional way: pure C++ code. :) Sure, it takes a while to learn, but it's more respectable than using Game Maker. Now by saying that, I don't want a bunch of complaints from GM-users. All I'm saying is that GM gets a bad rap for complete noobs producing crappy games, which is very true, although there certainly are great games out there created with GM.

Now, back to C++: it's free, fast, respectable, professional, and not as hard as you think. You can get a free compiler here: www.bloodshed.net . There are plenty of tutorials around, just search for "C++ tutorial" on Google, with or without quotes.

So true.
I'm not a complete newbie at GM, but my games aren't perfect yet and mainly all are in beta :cry:
But I'm working on that :) Lol
Hmmmm... GM6 out lately, that will be a lot new to learn with the coming of 3D, I don't think I will get that figured out soon :P

www.3dgamestudio.com for 3D Game Studio.. I don't think it's free, but there is a demo available and the software itself isn't too pricy after that. I've tried it and it was pretty good. Design is mostly visual, although you'll need do some scripting with it as well. All in all, I think it'd be worth a look. :)

wow you're right this program looks amazing, I might get it... Im the type of person that likes to do alot with storyline, animation and stuff, and not as much programming, which it looks like i wont need to do much of to make a simple game!

gamedev.sf.net
its the best game maker on the net I make my games with it, its ultra good ultra flexable. I know one guy who's making an RPG with it, and it kicks butt. You dont need to know scripting for this program. If you want to add scripting for a task then you can with the inbuilt scripter.... its totally flexable and totally awesome. Free documentation free help from users (like me) free help from the guy who made it and more more more!

(admin, dont ban me if you think this is an Ad, its not. I just love this program a hell of a lot. ps so do most people who use it.)

Check it out, it ROCKS!

Amazing game maker
Best free game maker

Game maker 7.0 is cool. You can make 2d and 3d games. You can make 2d games without any programing.

If you want to make a race game, you will need to make a path and don't set it on abselout.

bes free gamemakerBest free game maker

there's a few that I think is off the chain when it comes to game making with out programming, my #1 is Silent Walk FPS creator 1&2, FPS Creator with all accesories ( a whole bunch of programs compiled in one), Gamemaker 6&7.0 (includes some programming), RPG maker XP&VX, Reality Factory, Blitz3D, but the one that takes up the most time to create is Darkmatter..All that doesn't include model creation such as 3D studio max, Gmax, 3D world studio, blender, mudbox, meshlab, ETC!! there's more haha..Don't forget texture creation too!! but the one I think is the most easiest andwith the best results is Silent walk FPS creator 1&2 check it out:)

2D Game MakerBest free game maker

Hi,

I would like to create a 2D RPG world (Sort of like Graal or Zelda), But I cannot find a good game creator. I have Reality Factory, but I don't know if it even makes 2D games, and RF is still pretty hard to use. Any suggestions???

http://www.engine001.com/gamemaker.htm

The best I've ever used. I've tried just about every game maker out there and this one is by far the best and easiest. It comes with a wide range of pre-made graphics to use, but it has the most versatile resource importer ever. I personally use 3D renders made in Poser for my graphics to make the 2d engine actually look 3d. Probably the only RPG maker that has vehicles too.

You can do pretty much anything with the scripting once you figure out the odds and ends of how it works too. The scripting is done visually by selecting premade scripts from a list, editing them to your liking, and connecting them in a bubble flow chart. You don't have to write a single line of code, just drag and drop. Even though it's that simple, you can still do just about anything with it that you can do by typing out massive lines of code, just without the headache or the need to learn a scripting language.

For the person who said they wanna make a Zelda type game, this is perfect for you. If you make the most basic type of game in the engine, with out any scripting, just placing bad guys on a map and giving your player a weapon to fight them with, the result will be exactly like old school Zelda games with better graphics.

Blender 3D is a program that lets you do 3D modeling. it is possible to create games with blender 3-D but it is extremely difficult. There are lots of classes that offer instruction on blender 3-D. It may take you anywhere from a few months to year before you're able to gather the knowledge to develop something like YoFrankie. Also, YoFrankie was a project that was completed by a team of a few dozen people.

I think what the original poster is looking for is something like a map generator or a program that lets you create your own levels and play them. However, I would not suggest any "game makers" or anything of that sort. Those types of programs out produce quality content and would just be a waste of your time. I would suggest (if you're serious about this) that you pick up an easy language like Python and attached a graphics API like panda 3-D to develop your own game. Pirates of the Caribbean online and toon town both by Disney were developed in Python and panda 3-D.
