Ian Lohan · Apr 23, 2016

Hi there, Im learning how to develop computer games and Im looking for an program for developing RPGs, ARPGs, Platform games. Is there any begginner friendly program for these purposes?

P.S.: Sorry if my English is bad, Im Brazilian.

I don't know if these are the types of programs you are looking for but here are two I used to use.

RPG Maker:
Pro: Once you get the hang of it it's really easy to make an RPG with it
Con: Your game is generic and feels like the other games made in RPG maker so your game doesn't feel special.

Scratch:
Pro: VERY easy to make a game
Con: The quality looks like a cheaply made flash game

Though now I use programs like unity and game maker and just follow online tutorials as I make the games.

I strongly suggest picking up Visual C++, a good game-oriented library and a tutorial. Alternatively, you could try some of the fancy engines, like Unreal or Unity. If you just want to doodle, any Game Maker will do - we've all been there.

The problem is that Drag and Drop game engines are all overpriced junk. Just learn a simple programming language and use engines like RPG maker or Unity ect.

Yep, that's actually what imtrying to do.

I know this topic is concluded, but I made a Zelda clone with this years ago.

Its not just drag and drop, it uses an object based scripting kinda like java. I think it would be best for learning to make games if you have little to no programming experience.
