HOW TO MAKE A CAVEBOT FOR TIBIA? (THE GAME)?
Mar 25th
Question by Sho Ke:
How to MAKE a cavebot for Tibia? (The game)?
www.tibia.com Is the game i’m speaking about. I have tried using Tibia Auto and TibiaTek and they both kinda suck and, even though it’s only been out for 2 days now, is not compatible with version 8.2.
The only scripting tool I have(If it even is one x.x) Is Python, but I have 3 gigs worth of memory to download one. If it’s too complicated to explain in a few paragraphs(which it probably is), could you give me a link to a site that shows how to make a cavebot/ runemaker?

GAME CREATION BEGINNER?
Mar 13th
Question by INeeDHelP!:
Game Creation Beginner?
Hello. Me and a couple of friends decided to take the long way and create a SIMPLE game (don’t tell me “you cannot make crysis” , i know it!) . None of us have enough experience, and only I had some experience with turbo pascal. So as far as I know, I need to learn as scripting language. But about other aspects, whats skills should be learned by all members? (for mapping, modelling,game engines,general knowledge etc). And what is a good beginning? AGAIN: DO NOT TELL ME WHAT I CAN’T DO, WE KNOW THAT IT NEEDS A LOT OF WORK! I just want to have some starting advice. Thank you!
And about members, we have some other people in mind who could contribute to the project. So, if you have any site (except gamedev.org which I am aware of) post it please.

PROGRAMMING A GAME IN FLASH?
Mar 7th
Question by :
Programming a Game in Flash?
I’m trying to make a game in Flash. Not a 3D game. One like Evony. I dont know what to start learning first. I know nothing about it yet. But some people earlier stated To learn Action Script Cause thats the language that Evony is written in then ran in Flash. I downloaded a thing called Flash Develop because i had no idea. But now I keep seeing Flash professional CS5.5? It costs about 120$ Do i need to purchase that to put the code i make for a game in it to make it run? I am very confused on where to all to start to learn this and where to put code to make it run. But if you could pretend im 100% stupid(which i feel like lol) and explain to me how all this would work and what i should do to start learning actionscript from the very beginning please help me lol. I do not want to make a 3D game. Just one thats kinda like Evony but not even close just a concept like it. I have checked many other sites and all the tutorials just show all this code and do not explain how they got it. so i have no idea how or what things mean. I even downloaded the ActionScript 3.0 CheatSheet But i have no idea what it means or how to put it all together or where you even put it. In Flash Develope or what. But if these questions make any sense to you please let me know. Thanks!

FREE GAME MAKING SOFTWARE FOR FINAL FANTASY LIKE GAME? (SERIOUS ANSWERS ONLY)?
Feb 25th
Question by TheFireWithin:
Free game making software for Final Fantasy like game? (serious answers only)?
I was wondering if anyone knew of any good game making software that I could make a final fantasy like game. Could be any FF, FF1, FF12, FF:My Life as a King, any of them really. I just want to make a FF looking game lol so if you could help me out with giving me a link of a site that is free, or if you could email me (just add yahoo to my name and that is my email address) a link to a free but not supposed to be free software, either way, I just would like to be able to get something like that.
Also it would be more helpful if I did not need to know scripts or programming to use the software since… I do not know them. Thanks.
And, please do not answer with anything like “No” or anything that doesn’t help me.
Thanks again.
Okay, then if there are software that needs scripts that can be learned that would not be too difficult then you can state them too.

ONLINE HORSE SIM GAME!?
Dec 11th
Question by kellyannettes:
Online Horse Sim Game!?
Does anyone have any recommendations on starting up a site like this? I have already contacted someone to do all of the scripting and codes for it 
It is a very involved game, unlike any other horse sim on the web this day with coat color genetics and markings that you can produce when you breed horses. I am planning on offering 1 week free and then 24.00 for a year and 15.00 for 6 months. Do you think that is too expensive? Most horse sites are free unless you want to upgrade, but I would like to begin a buisiniess this way, and I also need to pay for the server costs and production cost of the game which will be about $ 5,000 when it is complete. Do you think it is ok to charge money? Would you pay that amount for a Horse Sim you really enjoyed? Thanks!
The name of it will be Equisis It will probably have the web address of http://www.equisis.net
Thank you all for your views this really helped!

PROS AND CONS ON FLASH VS GAME MAKER?
Nov 27th
Question by D:
Pros and Cons on Flash VS Game Maker?
I’m a programming major currently and have made a few small games in Visual Basic, and have taken a few courses in flash so i know many of the advanced features such as what action scripting is capable of…
Regardless I have been reading about a program called Game Maker, and off of the official site, there doesn’t seem to be much information about what this program is capable of…nor what the actual syntax (in the included programming language) is like…
So my question is, what do you think the pros and cons of using flash vs game maker are?
I would actually like people to answer that have experience using game maker.

ARE THERE ANY FREE BEGINNER FRIENDLY 3D GAME DEVELOPEMENT SOFTWARE/TOOLS?
Oct 18th
Question by Lewis_Undead_Anima:
are there any free newbie friendly 3D game Developement software/tools?
ok i state newbie because i do not know how to model well (or atleast get how to do it on blender >.< i do not know programming lines very well, except for playing around by creating some scripts for TES morrowind in the TES construction set (ok at it but not much done) and creating cheats and getting enemies to fight each other with TES morrowind console , and i got good at that (i learn better/quicker by myself).
back on topic...
I have alway wanted to create a game, but i am not good at scripting, not great with models (tried blender pff i would only use it for lessening poly count xD) and i only have gotten into using simple things like fps creator (very simple, sadly it's barely simple to be original which sucks) and some game tools.
I have wanted to make a First Person MMORPG for a long time, i found a cool looking game ( and i want to "reinvent the idea" this game has been cancelled, and the site has now so i cannot show you :'( , it is called Twilight wars, but here are some screenshots http://www.kotakgame.com/galeri/detail.php?g=825&dt=1861&tipe=1&dtgbr=6375&c=0#gallerypic ...
I want to have a Terrain editor that is like the Age of Mythology editor, but for First person, i found this http://gmc.yoyogames.com/index.php?showtopic=454512
and i was really interested in getting an Age of Mythology replica tool, but only for making terrain and maybe adding trees and plantation,
but that program is for RTS (Real time strategy) and i want to make a First person MMORPG i do not think so xD
-I want it to be more pick and place, i'd like not to have to "guess" the X Z Y Coordinates
-I could not go without a 3D Interface (to see how my game is going)
-I want an AoM style editor or painting type (if possible)
-I want to be able to Import models (export would be nice, not necessarily needed)
-A modelling tool would be cool
-A model painting tool
-Online capabilities, or someway to get a master server freely
-and anything else you can advocate for making a game such as this, thanks.
my personal is old, i have...
-windows XP (32)
-512mb RAM
-64mb Video card (no shader and 2 texture units, whatever that means)
-2.40GHz Processor
remember it has to be free (no money, i am a teen, lol sit around and such), it is for a First person game and Making an MMORPG, doesn't matter if the programs are separate (just they need to be compatible with each other), newbie friendly and if you are experienced and can advocate a program/tool or a set of programs/tools, THANKS!!!
thanks for the answer, i comprehend what you mean, i have come across very good programs with only my graphics card the problem.
it might sound crazy but i know it is possible to make a game like this on my personal with our technology... just i am sure with my "filters" being free cuts out alot, the only thing i do not like about programming is that it is like they anticipate you to know what is happening in the game (i have only found things like this which are script related, no rendering window, very annoying, i could accidentally make a mass of lines and a my character speeding through nothingness... i would assume. thanks i'll try C
