CREATE A FLASH RPG

CloseWhat options are there if you want to make a Flash RPG? RPG Maker only generates games for Windows, and I haven't seen any working exporters to Flash. There is also an issue with the RTP graphics license, which states that those graphics and resources may only run on the RTP runtime. And so if someone should work on a Flash exporter, we can't use any of the RTP resources :(.
Because of that I'm currently working on a product that makes it easy and fast to create RPG's for Flash. I'm doing this together with Amaranth games (you might know then from the Aveyond RPG series). As the product is still in development, I have some questions for anyone who wants to make a Flash RPG.
You would help me out a lot if you send me an email at koen@koonsolo.com, so we can have a little chat. This way I get more insight into what your needs are for creating an RPG for Flash. This way I hope provide a solution for that in the near future :).
Thanks and hope to hear from you soon!

Try out Flixel. It's a free framework for making games in Flash and it shouldn't be too hard to produce an RPG with.

Doesn't seem to stop people here from using chip rips from old RPG games made in the 90s. Especially if they're using the illegally translated and distributed versions of RPG Maker 2/003.

Why are you suggesting that he do this, honesty?
Flash performs poorly, is full of security exploits, and unreliably prone to crashing. If cross platform compatibility is something you want, there are better things to program a game in.
Edit:
Here's a link to that flash game framework that Sailerius suggested though.

Flash games are more aimed towards casual gamers and they're great for development actually :[
I'm not sure about the crashing part since it works great on my side.

Web applet software like Flash and Java can prove to be unstable and/or slow on some computers/browsers and lead to freezing or crashing of the system and/or browser in question. The mileage varies a lot depending on the user though.
I would suggest resources like REFMAP/Mac & Blue if you're looking for free resources to use.

Whow that's a fantastic resource! Those graphics are amazing, and the license terms are also fine :). Thanks for the link!

I think my original post was a bit unclear, sorry about that. I'm actually a programmer and can make it indeed in Flixel like you suggested. But recently I was contacted by someone who doesn't know how to program, but wants to make RPG games for Flash. So what I'm doing is making an application to make it easy to create a Flash RPG without programming. Then came the idea that there are probably other people too that want to create Flash RPG's. So I'm actually searching for other people who don't know how to program, but want to make an RPG for Flash. This way I can see what they actually need and what they don't need. So my question is actually: who wants to make a Flash RPG, and how can I help you with that :).

On windows I don't have much issues with Flash. But I also work in Linux, and indeed the Linux Flash player is not so great. But the cool thing about Flash games is that you don't need to install anything to play a game. You just go online and play it :). And there are a lot of people who like to play Flash games, so why not Flash RPG's.

Technically, you still need to install Flash to run applets made in Flash. By and large though, you're correct besides that; Flash is quite hassle-free to the consumer once it's installed.
Also, if I may, I suggest consolidating all three of your posts into one next time. Many find consecutive posts by the same person bad forum etiquette.

I think action RPGs in flash would be a very fun diversion, actually. I'd certainly play one, and I'd probably even try my hand at making a simple one.

Just released a video on YouTube that shows our tilemap editor (and the generated flash game) :): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fEWZtGm89xM. Hope you like it :)
