Hi!
First of all sorry for my bad English.
I am currently working on an Maker for the developing online RPG's...
The first release will be in German but I will search someone who can trasnalate the whole thing =)
In addition to the normal map editor, there exists mch more editors to create a 2Dgame without any coding skills.
There exist following editors:
- Mapeditor
- NPC
- Items
- Skills
- ANiamtions
- Races
- Classes
Some editors don't make sense alone but there exists many connections between. For example items and skills need an race as condition or items can trigger skills etc...
For well thought-out skills and items you can use LUA to make them more special.
For game making there are 3 opportunities:
Offline game:
You create an RPG-Makerlike offlinegame and the datas are saved local.
MMO-RPGstyle:
You have a big server where all players connect to. The datas are saved on the server.
BattleNetStyle:
There will be a Lunacy-Lobby where people can locally host their games and other people can join it. The ideo beind it is to create something like the funmap section in Warcraft 3.
Here is a video to the client (old video because the projectb was freezed a long time):
Some screens of the editor
Nothing special:
NPC-Editor:
Animations:
Ranged combat Items:
2 screens of the client
So thats it!
Hope it interests you.
Apprauuuu
