Game Engine - Visual RPG Studio, Free 30 day trial Options

[mickygor]

This looks really brilliant! I'd take Lua over RGSS any day I'll likely purchase this on release, and I'll definitely register for beta testing. You really know what people want, and you're including it all. One question: will the Lua support allow people to "modify" the engine? For example, add in minor features to streamline the production of their specific game?

[Rukiri]

Perhaps, on your website, you can request programmers to develope scripts to be applied to the LastEnd engine. I'd probably start by asking jneul (if he's still around) and 2dgamestudios (ditto). They seem to be more than capable programmers who might actually be up for something like that. Considering their own game engines were abandonded, it might even encourage them to restart those programs (even if they turn down the offer).

This seems to be the most promising game-maker engine I've seen outside of the big-name engines like DarkBasic Pro & Gamestudio ($900!!! X_X). So, hopefully, it will see a Beta test (because a beta test almost universally means there'll be an official release).

Dark-Basic PRO is terrible when you get further into it.. DarkGDK is only good because of C++.
Gamestudio is just epic! And $900 is really cheap when it comes to game engines, I've spent over $1000 on Torque 3D and it's awesome.

Any idea when this will be released?

Do you have every possible maker?

Pretty much.. DBP is awful and really shunned at many game dev communities..

Pretty much.. DBP is awful and really shunned at many game dev communities..

I have mainly the RPG Makers...I do not have a job, for I am not old enough for good-paying jobs, so I could not get any $900 programs.

ON-TOPIC: How is it coming along?

If you're 16 and willing to save cash, then that should be fine. At 7.25 (Federal minimum wage thru most states), with a part time job (20 hours a week, 4 weeks a month), would land you with about $500 after taxes. Save $100 each month...

Like a baby, 9 months later, a responsibility you couldn't comprehend comes into your life.

(For advanced users eyes "Will be included in templates for non-scripters")

If someone was good with both lua and rqss the they could make Lua read rgss. For example that video settings script i've been working on now has io for load and saving the video settings. I wanted users to have control over all video settings and how they look so I allow it to be pure script.

First I'll show the entry page that loads the video settings script. after that I'll show the video settings page. It still under going work but it works without a problem.

CODE

dofile("Scripting\\Base\\Keys.lua")
Scripting_RegisterClass("engine")
Scripting_RegisterClass("ui")
Scripting_RegisterClass("VideoSettings")


dialogID = nil

function loadUI()

  local _width = Engine.GetWindowWidth()

  dialogID = UI.Dialog.Add(0, 0, _width, _height)
  UI.Dialog.SetColors(dialogID, 0, 0, 0, UI.ARGB("Blue"))
  UI.Dialog.SetCaption(dialogID, "Main Menu", UI.ARGB("White"), 30)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 12, "UI Text", _offsetX, _height - 136, 150, 20, "UI.Load('UI Test.lua', true)", -1)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 13, "Play", _offsetX, _height - 112, 150, 20, "UI.Load('PlayMenu.lua', true)", Keys.Enter)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 14, "Settings", _offsetX, _height - 88, 150, 20, "UI.Load('VideoSettings.lua', true)", -1)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 14, "Settings", _offsetX - 200, _height - 88, 150, 20, "Engine.ShowVideoSettings()", -1)
  UI.Button.Add(dialogID, 15, "Exit", _offsetX, _height - 64, 150, 20, "Engine.CloseWindow()", Keys.Escape)

    UI.Label.SetAlign(dialogID, lblID, "center")
    Engine.AddTimer(20, "Loop()", "timerName")
end

function Loop()
    y = y-1
    UI.Dialog.SetLocation(dialogID, 0, y)
    if y == -800 then y = 0 end

I really hope this comes with a "HELP ME!!! x_x" file.

Yea offline and online help.

But it not as hard as you would first think. Many of the properties are dropdowns menus like any true / false, Zoning Map, and player state. Other properties Like size or location is set by using the mouse on the event over the board.

Any options can be mix or match, For example if the zoning map is set to same it works as a teleporter.

For the side scroller I created a little gravity script to control the player. Funny when you think about mario, he was able to jump 4 x his height. Must of been a small planet. At any rate it not earth gravity but it is following Einstein & Newton rules.

I am looking at the event editor, and does NEED any basic scripting knowledge?

[lastend]

No scripting is needed for the event system to do basic functions. To do more advance action you would need scripting knowlege. I will also be adding more non-scripting event actions for any requested functionality.

Okay...not sure that you are far enough, but what does the event editor look like in the coding process...like in rpg maker....you have buttons and everything. Will it be like that?
