I was playing a game called Odysseus (i think thats how its spelled).

Anyways it similar to the old zelda from nintendo.. (I liek turn based RPGs tho)
I was wondering if there was any software that is around to help make a turned based RPG... or a zelda one would be nice I guess.
The reason I do not use Ody is because it gives me weird errors.. like all the GUI is bunched together and overlapping and I cant DO anything to create my wold because of it..

well, rpgmaker 1 was on the snes, rpgmaker 2 was on the psx, and i think there was an rpg maker 3 on the ps2 if i'm not mistaken.

as for pc stuff, i know there's a bunch of software packages you can use, just dont remember any names off the top of my head. but you might qwanna try google and search for stuff like "rpg create engine software" or whatever.

My only qualms about RM2k and RM2k3 would be that due to the widespread cracking, translation, etc. of the software, a retail release was never made available state-side... Now I know many people say "you buy software?" well.. yeah, unless it's open source. Call me an idiot, but what incentive does a company have to make and develop software if they can't make any money off of it? I know there are a ton of RPG Maker 2000 and 2003 downloads and resources available. It's great if you just want to make a game to show to your friends or prove you could... however if you want to try marketing the game, you have a licensing nightmare ahead of you. If you really want to take the time to code a game, you might as well get a group of friends with the right talents to help you... my best friend started an RM2k game over a year and a half ago, a solo project, and has only just recently seen it through to its completion.

rpgmaker 2k3 is awesome
i've been making a game for well over a year now and it's still no where near done. I find the hardest part is making it unique (chipset wise). I've been building my own chipsets as well as ripping some from various games.
