Have you ever wanted to develop or build your own video game? Did you know you could invent your own characters and design a layout that would be all from your own imagination? It’s all possible with what is known as an RPG maker.
RPG stands for Roll Playing Game. Specifically, text based roll playing games. A text based RPG maker is simply a software that lets you, the user, create text based role playing games without having to know any type of programming.
That’s right! No programming skills and you can develop your own game.
These games generally consist of text descriptions and commands that you, the player, can interact with the game and progress through the story that you create.
There are several RPG makers available, some more user friendly than others. If you click here it will take you to my RPG maker games list. Maybe you can make some of the best text based games. You might even be able to create one of the classic text adventure games like Zork and The Colossal Cave Adventure.
Is RPG Maker Easy To Use
Text-based RPG makers often come with a user-friendly interface that lets you create characters, define the game world will be like, and set up the game mechanics.
You are the designer, and you can create many different characters, give them special attributes, and define the way they interact with each other and the game world. You can also create maps, items, weapons, and other objects that players can interact with while playing.
Once the game is created, the RPG maker software usually lets you export the game as an application of it’s own or a text file that can be played using the text-based interface. You can then download and play the game on your computer or mobile device.
You can find several text-based RPG makers available online, they range from simple tools to more advanced software programs that require installation on a computer. Some of the best examples include Twine, Quest, ADRIFT, and Ren’Py. I referenced other in the link above.
What ever you do, have fun.
