RPG Studio Easiest Fastest Creating Online RPG

[vendettanet]

With utmost respect for everyone,

My name is Frank Albert Pangajow, I have develop a freeware 2D Multiplayer Online RPG game wizard called RPG Studio. The purpose of this wizard is to make everyone can develop 2D MORPG very easy and very fast.

http://i273.photobucket.com/albums/jj222/vendettanet/rpgstudioscreenshot19furankusaga.jpg

The target audience is mostly for 2D/3D Artist who wish to create a sample game for High Profile demo to display their art capability in an actual game. Also for Game Designer / Level Designer as a tool for Rapid Game Prototyping to show their talent on designing the game itself. And for game story writer, to create a good story directly within a game (or collaboration between all of them). Lastly ofcourse for everyone to create their own dream MORPG without thinking about how to program or how to draw animation.

The process for developing the game itself is very fast within seconds a MORPG can be played, NO programming NOR scripting involved at all, just mouse clicking. The interface itself is not very serious and scary, but fun and designed for common people minded. With a lot of video tutorial, FAQ Help and plenty of easy tools to use, everyone can contruct a game from ground up to a full blown serious Multiplayer Online RPG very fast. The online and multiplayer capability is automatic, no need additional effort.

The game produced is a feature complete RPG, may even be compared with current famous 2D MMORPG such as Ragnarok Online, Tales Weaver, Mapple Story, etc.

For Moderator: My apologize, I did not know is this the right place to post this topic, I hope my effort and contribution will benefit everyone and usefull for everyone to create their dream multiplayer online RPG with ease and fast.

Thank you for your attention.

Sincerely,

- Frank Albert Pangajow -

Below is several screen shot taken from the two sample games, created uses RPG Studio within seconds or few minutes.

[pstudio]

it looks pretty good. Which tools have you used to make this with?

Btw., I couldn't see your screenshots without logging into google and refresh this page. You may want to host the screenshots somewhere else.

[arthurprs]

just one word -> awesome

[vendettanet]

To pstudio:

This is data of the tools used on developing RPG Studio:
1. Delphi 7
2. Jedi DirectX header

This is tools used for creating the artwork for game resources library which will be used by the RPG Studio wizard:
1. Adobe Photoshop CS2
2. 3D Studio Max 9

That is all, thank you for your attention, and thanks for your info on the picture, I will try to fix it..

Sincerely,

The art in some of these shots are great!

You really should look into making it cross-platform so that it gets an even wider audience.

Keep up the great work.

Bumped to news item.

[vendettanet]

Thank you for your advise,

I really considering using FPC on my Delphi code of this RPG Studio to cross platform it. But I must admit, my linux programming experience is almost zero. I think I must learn very hard to compensate the time needed to covert it. While actually recoded it using Java may be faster and safer for cross platform? Anyone can give me advice which path should I took better for the future?

Which is a good candidate to use:
1. FPC - Lazarus
2. Java
3. Action Script 3 + Ajax

Thank you for your attention and help

I'm gonna test it under wine once I get everything down. So far I ran the app without all the plugins and it worked ok. Once I get the examples down I'll give them a test and let you all know how it turns out. :).

Considering most of your code is already in Delphi, converting it to Lazarus should be fairly simple. If you use DirectX that might make things a bit mroe difficult as you will need to convert to OpenGL.

That said there are a number of people here with experience of this kind of stuff so we can help out. :D The good thing is that once it is converted then Mac OSX support is going to be an option too. :)

If you (or anyone else for that matter) want to try Linux out without re-partitioning your hard drive then I would recommend you try wubi (http://wubi-installer.org/). This is a great installer that runs under windows and turns your machine into a dual boot one for you. It runs Ubuntu which is just great and Lazarus and free pascal can be installed. You can even access your FAT32 and NTFS drives to get your code. :lol:

Do you mean you are running RPG Studio wizard under linux uses wine and it worked ok?

Ok I will use FPC Lazarus then, is it SDL better choice over OpenGL or ? Anyway all the graphics is essentially 2D not 3D, may it even possible using GTK+ or something?


That said there are a number of people here with experience of this kind of stuff so we can help out. Very Happy The good thing is that once it is converted then Mac OSX support is going to be an option too.

I like to know:
1. I am using Indy socket component from Delphi 7, is there possible to use Indy again in Lazarus-FPC ? Last time is see it is still in beta for Lazarus-FPC?
2. RPG Studio has a lot TThread class in it, how to do multithreading in Linux or even MacOS?


I would recommend you try wubi

I have ubuntu 8.04 cd and wubi is there, trying to use it...


Thank you alot for all the advises

Sincerely,

Techonomage, once you've downloaded it can you put it on a DVD for me, I have the slowest net connection in the world at the moment.. Damned BT!

I love the screens you've put up. Top job.

[technomage]

I ran the RPGStudio exe under wine and it worked fine. I'm still waiting for the DVD to download so I can add the modules/plugins but the exe worked without any problems.

If you are only using DirectDrawSurfaces to render stuff in 2D then go with SDL, if you are using Direct3D to render 2D stuff then go with Opengl.

Indy does work under linux but it is still in beta , buyt I personally have used it and it worked ok. As for threading you can still use TThread the only think you need to do is a cthreads to the uses clause of your main .dpr file (it has to be on of the first units) :)

[arthurprs]

i really liked this stuff 8)

if you decide to convert the source to SDL or Opengl leave me an email, maybe i can help

You may download each libraries, sample games and tutorial video one by one if you wish, though it is a little bit laborous, but it may be faster rather than waiting to download the DVD, because my internet connection is very slow, my apologize, I live in third world country => "Indonesia", internet connection here is very slowwwwww not even counting the bandwidth throttling and traffic shaping by my ISP for torrent connection. By the time I write this post, everyone still only 19% done...unfortunately...

Though downloading DVD installation once it is finished, it will be the easiest way to install RPG Studio and the plus side it contain a lot of additional libraries+a game distribution program.

When the time come I will ^-^

Anyway, what in my mind currently: there is a lot of people crying why RPG Studio does not work on Vista. Because program which produced uses Delphi 7 does not work in Vista without work around, and I my self *unfortunately* do not have Microsoft Vista computer.

I will buy a new computer as soon as I have the luck. I just keep wondering why Microsoft doing this? It makes a lot of people like me who can not afford buying new computer with Vista is in misery.

So if anyone have vista and can get the work around solution please, pretty please tell me how each step by step, so I can post it on my FAQ site for every one other can follow, rather than waiting for me to buy new Vista computer, which *unfortunately* will take forever...

[Traveler]

What exactly is the problem with Delphi 7 and Vista? I use both myself and I have no problems at all.

Excellent work btw, it's looking very professional!

Sorry may be a bit misunderstanding here, what I want to tell is program produced uses Delphi 7 running problem in Vista, that is why people who uses Vista have problem on running RPG Studio and all the game samples :( unfortunately.

[vendettanet]

Yes Delphi 7 work like a charm in Vista, just try it ^-^ thanks

[vendettanet]

I have just add Vista Patch, so now Windows Vista user can also run RPG Studio smoothly, just download the patch and follow instruction here:
