Stencyl is the only one I know that actually allows proper game design... I've tried game maker and it was too full of ads and expensive.  tongue

That's hard.  Either Unity or Python, but from what I've seen, Stencyl looks good, too, but I don't have it.

Re: Favorite Video Game Design software other than Scratch?

I liked Stencyl, but nao I don't like it much anymore. Huh.

I'd have to say Java, because I'll be learning that when I get my laptop.

Re: Favorite Video Game Design software other than Scratch?

vb.net is good for it's ease of use and can closely rival the other .nets. Plus you can also make 3D games as it has direct x support.

Hmm. Would anyone buy a text based game with a command prompt like interface written is vb.net?

I've literally just started using Alice. Tis very easy to understand, it's a bit like Scratch.


I might return for a little while.

Yep, my analysis of Alice: too basic. And boring.

I agree, but I made a decent flight sim and a couple movies out of it  big_smile

Re: Favorite Video Game Design software other than Scratch?

Now I've started using Game Maker. Much more logical and better for games than Alice is.

I agree. I took a Game Maker class this week. It's pretty fun.

Here's one of the games I made: http://www.yoyogames.com/games/179681-t … rdest-game

BlitzBasic/Blitz3D are really good for beginners.
