YOUR GAME MAKER

Well done AeroGP, you are automatically more respectable than anyone who said RPG Maker.

Don't see any games from you, though!

It's not finished, but I might make a thread about it...

I've got some light experience in 2D projects with XNA. Nothing significant though, and all of it is pretty terrible, gameplay and implementation wise.

I started with RM95 and then 2K3 for a bit but never got farther than a week or two since I didn't know any online communities at the time.

Moved onto XP when a friend let me know it was released in English, finished a ton of games in that, then made a game in VX, and now making one in Game Maker (very awesome by the way).

I started and half finished re-creating some of the basic sprite-abilities I'm used to from XP/VX in C#/XNA and started a spacey kinda project with it, but found that I didn't really want to build my own engine all the way up, then build an editor, and THEN build the game.

Started with sphere, my uncle got me into it and made a cbs with it, it was awesome, too bad my floppy disk died, I wish I was able to save that battle system *sigh* but then at that time USBs were expensive x.x

Then I moved on to rm2k, after playing demon hunter:seeker of power I moved on to rm2k3 since it has a sideview battle system and naufragar:crimson was one of my main inspirations that time...

Right now, I'm just finishing this rm2k3 game and then move to VX and learning RGSS right now. Although I want to learn python/C++ I guess I feel like my time is running short...

RM95, made a parody game on it but never got to finished haha.
I also use rm2k3, finished some demos but not any full games :/
Then I moved on to RMXP. I finished only two games though. I've tried VX but didn't like it so I probably won't use it to make any game.
And then I use Game Maker. Very good for quick prototype game, but for a big long game it's pretty terrible. I have pretty hard time finding my variables.

Recently I've been moving away from the engine like Game Maker/Rpg Maker and started coding with Ruby and C++. I've finished one game in ruby with gosu library(Very cool game library, by the way.) I'm also planning on remaking some of my games in ruby game library such as starruby or gosu.

Now I'm starting playing with C++ and DXLib, a game library made by Japanese people and used widely in many doujinsofts. Hopefully I can finish some games out of it soon, which is unlikely due to the senior project that I have to finish :/

just started fusion.

anyone else use this to make games? i'm just getting used to it right now, but i'm planning to make an rpg (not a platformer) with it...

i started with 2k and 2k3 for years... used xp a bit and dabbled in both vx and game maker. for the last while i've been using flash, but the scripting got overly complex for a simple game i was making and ended up abandonning it :(

i have high hopes for fusion....

ika because I am now the primary maintainer of it and Python is the best damn language ever.

Use one that isn't, such as Game Maker, ika, or Sphere.

@WIP
I'd love to try ika too but it lacks packing system :(

Who made ika?

Mostly andy. The rest of us (Thrasher, Ear, Khross, f9, WIP, Hatchet) are just his lackeys. We occasionally report bugs and requests to him, along with maintaining parts of this site. Apparently, Thrasher updates this FAQ now. Ear sometimes does too.

This is something I never knew about you WIP. Strange.
