Video Game Programs
 

Hello everybody, I've been quite bored lately and looking for something to do with my time.

After discovering this crazyyyy game on 4chan (Ethnic Cleansing (computer game) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia),
I got the idea to make a fps for fun. Supposedly the developers
(who are racist slime, but anyway) used a program that did all the coding for them.

So I ask you, does anyone know of a good program out there that can do this for me? I will spend a decent amount of money on it if It's expensive so that isn't a problem.

1: Are you really going to put much effort into this, or are you just going to tool around with a software suite that inefficiently covers every single bit of coding for you and then realise you can't be bothered to actually do anything?

2: On that note: If you're looking to "make an fps for fun", then your concepts of "fun" and "making an fps" are pretty fucking askew. The very fact that you're asking means I can guarantee anything you do come up with will be unbalanced, unplayable and absolute shit.

If you're honestly intent on this, learn 3D modeling. Learn the fundamentals of game development. Don't bother with poxy "programs" that hold your hand while you take a piss.

I did some digging around and found this:

FPS Creator » Welcome

It looks pretty interesting. I'm not sure how much it costs, I'm sure a little bit of reading and you would figure it out.

Good luck!

Man, I bet KrelEN is the life of the party! Lighten up dude. Sure, if you're serious then you should at least understand the programming behind the games. I think modeling may be a bit far fetched. There's lots of guys in the FPS dev business that don't know shit about modeling.

I'm not looking to put a ton of effort into it. I'm going to be studying computer art next semester, but don't know much about it right now. I basically just want to be creative and see what I can come up with. I'm not really doing it for the raw details of a game (like the art, music, programing), I just want to see if I can make a decent game if those tools were to be given to me.


@Alai, that definitly looks awesome, I'm looking into it some more, it looks nice for sure, graphics and such. I hope it's not too expensive, because that's basically exactly what I'm looking for.

I don't think there's anything wrong with that, no?

Well, if you actually scrolled right to the bottom of the page, you'd see it costs $49.99 :3

That program does look pretty cool, although I'm pretty uncreative when it comes to stuff like that. I wish you luck in your game making.

Yeah, but those people are also likely to have a studio with 3D artists at their disposal. This is a one-man project.

lol, yeah I notice that now, I went straight to the video tutorial. $50 isn't bad at all.


I know that in game design there are many people. Animators, concept artists, programmers, scripters, designers, level designers, musicians. Someone could defenitly work on a video game, an no nothing about art, or nothing about programming. Things work better like that anyway, specialized jobs and such.

But yeah, this is a one man job all the way =)
