Hello, I've been planing on making an 2D RPG, but I can't find a software to make it on. Game Maker is messed up XNA is way to hard. I want it to look like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Q6ISVaM5Ww just not on that program.

Thanks

What's wrong with XNA? What kind of 2d rpg are you making?

Try this. http://verge-rpg.com/

http://www.asantee.net/ethanon/ relies on scripting (Angelscript) but comes with a map creator and other useful tools.

i have no idea where to get any, but I will want a copy of your game once you are done! Support man!!! Good luck! :foodndrink:

I think http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/RPG_Maker_VX is pretty good.

There should be an unofficial thread for everyone who's working on a game. I don't know if there would be enough people to warrant a thread, though. People could ask question and pretty much talk about their development. Good luck on your RPG! I'm currently writing a very Twin Peaks-esque text adventure myself.

XNA is too hard? I hate to break it to you, but most things that are worth doing *are* hard. XNA is one of the simplest ways to have both full control *and* ease of use. If you're willing to sacrifice control, there are things like RPG Maker.
