Bargain.

Cheers, OG.

It's definently a good way to get your foot in to game development. I am really glad I purchased it. (Enter TGC's Cameo)

seriously though--this is a great program. I'm very pleased but it does have a learning curve. but if you have patience and know how to read you should be pleased with it.

You need lots of drive*:

You need mental drive
You need Physical drive
You need about 4GB of disk drive
And you need a CD Drive

*=being able to actually drive is not required.

It wrote this in another thread but...
Quote: "The biggest problem with FPSC is the user. Many people give up after a hour because they can't get the exact look of the game they want, or (more likely) they don't have a certian entity so therefore the game is incomplete. Games take time and effort and its thanks to FPSC that the time has been reduced. If you want your game to prefect with real-time light and shadows, friendly AI and a sophisticated user interface that allows you to interact with your enviroment, go learn C++, see you in 2034.

If, like the rest of us, you are OK with sacrifising some graphical quality then FPSC is the program for you"


It also really depends on what kinda game you're trying to make. I don't know becuase that's up to you but bare in mind:
There are no Vehicles (that you can drive in)
There are no save/load game options
There aren't really any ways to get Allies
The engine is laggy if the level is big or complex
Apparently multiplayer isn't fantastic

But also bare in mind:
You won't find an easier way to make game yourself
It's under £30
You can have your own media
There are alot of user-made programs to help

Hope that helped
AE

Origin says i'm l33t

Totally agree with that.

Let's chill on riker9 until there is some more news from CB. There is no reason for a thirteen page thread about Riker9. As with all things I will believe it is real when I see it. No offense "CB or Gamz" Just getting a little tired of Riker9 being brought up in threads other than riker9 threads. I have said my peace and I am done with it.

(It being FPSC)

YES

Many times over.
I have no regrets.
I am very pleased to say the least.
