RPG Game

[zeka]

Does anybody know any websites that have useful tutorials on how to create RPG games. The main focus point is inventory, collision, picking up items, getting a character to walk to where the mouse was clicked ect. Basically anything useful for a RPG game.

Thanx alot to anybody who replies

Searching Kirupa forums is a good place to start--something you should do before you post anything, anyways.

Yup, I've seen the but its a bit.... well complicated. I mean all that stuff is good but I dont really want to go into storyline, flowcharting,design documents and all that stuff. I just wanna figure out how to do simple things like (well not so simple) inventory, picking up items, attacking monsters, and stuff like that.

Thx :p:

P.s Hope i havent cause u a headache trying to read my writing

(1) your writing is ok ;). (2) Like i said before you should search kirupa forums there a LOTS of good stuff in here. Search for things like: Detecting Keypresses. Or at least be a little more specific on what you need help on. :beam:

To be honest, I would shy away from doing an RPG game, especially if I was new to Flash, Actionscript, or programming for games... This project is really ambitious, that is why you tend not to see a whole lot of RPGs made in flash...

The reason you aren't getting much help, is likely to be that nobody feels they can help you, because its not an easy thing, and I don't remember anyone here making an RPG yet... (I might be wrong).

I doubt there is a tutorial to make an RPG, you'll probably have to piece together the concepts of lots of smaller tutorials and try to use the information to make an RPG.

Besides, users don't like RPG's if they're limited. They gotta have tons of features and side quests, that most of the users won't execute! Sadly, users are dumb. If there were designer-only communities, scripting would get a LITTLE more appreciation. Wait, wait - - kirupa is a designer community!

Actually.. I'm on my way towards creating a set of RPG tutorials on these boards... I just got halted when I needed to draw the graphics... :) You can check out the link so far here Ranoka..

Would I be too harsh in saying that you will most likely fail then... Don't take that statement as saying you will.. Because you can still succeed... But like the others stated.. RPG's are VERY in depth... And if you don't go into it in an organized fashion.. You will find yourself like a fish out of the ocean... Flopping around until you slowly die out...

The tutorials will be updated as soon as I gte msyelf a good graphi artist to help me out... And that's it.. :)
