Any retro software you still use to make games?

I fucked around plenty with Klik & Play, though it was a MUCH more constrained tool than Clickteams' C&C/Multimedia Fusion (no scrolling support for starters, which was a bummer for me as a kid since all I wanted to do was my own Mario)

You could make a buggy Mario type game with it by simulating scrolling. When you'd press RIGHT you move all objects to the left and vice versa. I used to love this program, still have the original CD. It's unfortunate that the new Clickteam Fusion is barely ever updated so it's full with all sorts of issues and glitches (for one, anti-virus software would flag their .exe it as a virus for months) AND to put a game on Steam you'd have to pay someone to convert the game into another EXE. You have the option to pay the Clickteam devs do it for you, heh.

>>	Anonymous Sat Apr 29 20:31:07 2023 No.9863418 >>9863353 It depends on what you plan to make. It's pretty easy to make a top-down RPG in RPG Maker, a VN in Ren'Py or a side-scroller in Game Maker. These have been around for a while and are still popular.

Zelda classic was my go to back in the early 2000s. Most of the games people made with it were absolute shit but as a kid just having several things to play was good enough.

From my experience BGE was very unstable and would crash frequently. It also ran like arse and the shading capabilities were very limited compared to other engines as it was based on Blender's slow-ass viewport renderer.

The Yo Frankie game eventually had to switch engines at some point due to how underwhelming BGE was, that and nobody was maintaining it.

Holy fuck, how? External hacking not allowed
I remember some Zelda attempts way way way back then in the French community. One game was Mana rabbids and some function that powers you up every x mins. It was clumsy but worked okay
There was some attempts to make a Zelda like but oof. The dungeon boss was a literal jpg. They eventually moved on to game maker and recently? made a parody of their first game, with the dungeon being other parodies like part of it parodying the dungeon/having to fill out forms of The Twelve Tasks of Asterix

Nice. I tried making point-and-click in Gamemaker too. Clicking a walkable spot is easy to get the character to go to, but I wanted it so if you click an unwalkable spot then the character would walk as close as he can get, like in the LucasArts games.

>>	Anonymous Mon May 1 14:05:53 2023 No.9868515 >>9865484 >>9868436 He's just demonstrating his pathfinding. The character is automatically finding his own path to the spots where you see the arrows, presumably where the player clicked.

I don't dabble in game development but shit like Space Station 13 is still in active development on Byond and Byond still gets updates from time to time. I play on a game with a small community that's unlisted (fear of DMCA takedowns or other legal issues) and has an active development receiving pretty regular updates. The guy behind the server knows the engine is dogshit and has talked many times about things he cannot fix because of the engine but it's a project in his spare time so he is not willing port or re-write the entire game in a new engine.

That depends very much on your personal definition of those words. Based on your pic related yours is very lose. If loading up an old version of game maker and playing around with some examples for a few minutes is "still making games" then yeah. I'm sure a lot of people have done that.

>>9867250
If you use it to make games then sure. But loading a rom into le rom haxor wharez isn't making a game.

Thanks. Here's an earlier demo with scaling. I wasn't able to get the diagonal movement smooth so I decided to go for a maniac mansion style approach. This was years ago though, and I never really did much with either engine.
