I have done some tutorials and previouse programing in visual basic as well, but I was wondering when making a game is the engine the first thing I need to do? Also does anyone ahve an example of an rpg engine or anything like that.. and finaly is 2d alot less challenging?

Thank you

It really depends, I mean in my opionion it is easier, but the only 3D game I've made is the one from the tutorial that comes with darkbasic.2D I find a little harder to do animation, but it gets easier with some practice.Also since I'm currently working on a 2D fighting game, all I have to make is the characters, backrounds, and animate them, and finally code.

So basically 2D is easier in my opionion, but some parts are still time consuming.

Tycho huh, you wouldn't happen to be from Penny Arcade?

Basicly DBP is the engine, but in any case it's up to you. On my own project I'm starting with the hardest parts first,half of it not having much to do with battles or character interaction (my game's a suido-RPG/Adventure game). I would sujects that you get the basics done first: menu systems, basic battle system, charater interaction, and the like. After that is just fleshing up what you all ready have done.

As for 2D vs 3D, each have their Pros and Cons, it's really a matter of personal taste.
