What Videogames Are You Playing Right Now?
Making games? What motivates you?
I'm interested as games as an art form. Taking my limited resources, and making something cool. Or, at least something I think is cool. Simple, old-fashioned RPGs. The games that made me happy as a kid, the kind I would look forward to playing on friday nights.
Games with map/level editors
author=Irog
Heroes of Might and Magic 3 has a great map editor. It inspired me to develop a basic map editor in my strategy game MinST and I even reuse it's passability display convention in Lya's debug display.
More than one person has mentioned that, and it's on sale for $3.39 on GOG right now so I guess I'll have to pick it up.
I remember Neverwinter Nights' editor but never really got into it. The game itself turned me off so much that I adamantly refused to play 3rd Edition D&D until 2008, and I still regret buying those damned rulebooks...
The one that takes the cake for me so far is still ARMA 3. It's like having a bunch of little green army men, with terrain and vehicles only they actually move and shoot each other.
Games with map/level editors

There's this game on Steam that I love called "The Quest" (original name, I know) that basically plays like a turn-based Daggerfall. They've got a level editor, and folks have been making their own DLC for it as well. Pretty fun base game and official post-game DLC adventure, too.
That sounds awesome! I'm surprised Matt Barton hasn't covered that one.
Also, I forgot that Stranded Deep has an editor. I think you can only make a single island, which is a bummer.
What are you thinking about? (game development edition)
PS1 Classic, anyone?
Small update
Missing Generic RPGS?
author=puubutt
I've lately been in a state where I've been really missing those old rpg games where you just kill slimes, kill the dragon king, and save princesses as a hero? Y'know, the really generic ones? A lot of current fantasy rpgs try too hard to be original and I'm sort of missing those old tropey games :/
Anyone feel the same? Or are there any games that are still very trope-y you can recommend?
There's Artifact Adventure on Steam, but that has a bit of a twist. There's several different endings depending on what you do. If you've got a PS2, you can probably get Metal Saga fairly cheap, which is something like the old school games in that there's not a huge story and the whole thing's about killing monsters.
