Welcome to the easiest way to create a
First Person Shooter (or just about any type of 3D game you can think of) Game!
First of all; if you haven't been able to find a download for the
free version of
FPSCreator, just click
here. For the
commercial version, click
here.
With FPSCreator, you
won't be making the next Half-Life or Doom; those games were created with massive teams and resources. But don't let that keep you from striving towards your game-design goals. At the very
least, FPSCreator is an excellent way to learn the complete game-design process; from inception to final product. Additionally, online FPS gamers can create fully-functional Multiplayer Games. Some teams can use FPSCreator as a
"virtual sketchpad" to mock-up a test level, before committing valuable time to actual level design in another engine. Other developers have used FPSCreator to create a First-Person game that involves
no guns at all (such as mazes). For artists; FPSC gives you an easy way to see your media in a
real game environment.
Whatever your goal is,
FPSCreator (coupled with an excellent Community and valuable media found in the forums, as well as the new [url=]
TGC Store[/url]) can help you reach it quickly.
There are many resources available to you (many for no cost whatsoever). Here is a list for your consideration:

**Some people have purchased FPSC Creator, and had problems building their levels (it wants you to upgrade from the Free version, even though you've paid for it). Here is how to fix that problem:
Close FPSC (it must not be running while you do this) then open the userdetails.ini file in the main FPS folder and add your name and serial number:
[PERSONAL DATA]
YourName=Name goes here
YourSerialCode=Serial number goes here
YourFullPath=C: Program FilesThe Game CreatorsFPS Creator
[LOCALIZATION]
language=english
There should be no space between an equals sign and the text.
