whats the best game engine?

[LearningCoder]

As i am looking to buy one, i was going to get Generic RPG but i see it is down? anyone know where i can buy/download from?

[Dominion]

GRPG website has been down for some time. You can find a download link, but I am unsure about legal status so unless you can contact the original creator I would say don't use it.

As for the "best engine" best for what? Looking for a pre-built game you can just expand or more of a framework type engine.

I would like one where i can just expand on it, i was looking to buy mccodes but is there any versions that have all exploits/bugs sorted?

Not really. 2.03 was a massive improvement, but it's not all shorted. What I would suggest is maybe waiting until march to see the new worlds engine (a_bertrand's one) or maybe trying gangster legends (unsure about bugs on this one).

[LearningCoder]

I have used Gangster Legends but it does not get my website any users and yeah i will do, is it like mccodes?

[skooda]

Well I have to say mccode because its easy to understand and its the most popular game engine if your trying to run a mafia based game or anything.

[Spudinski]

The best, currently released one, would be ezRPG.

[LearningCoder]

ohhh well im using ezRPG but i want to edit my full layout but dont know how too :/

[skooda]

I never use ezRPG so I dont have a say

You do realise youll need to put in effort to get users?

[LearningCoder]

yeah i did do i made a whole new layout and stuff but now im just going to use EZRPG i find it easier, just dont know how to create a new layout :/

So you made a layout, and expected people to come running to you game they dont know about. -.-

[LearningCoder]

no, i made a layout and advertised the game but people didnt join so after 2weeks i closed the game down.

The best engine would depend upon what you are looking for. It differents from people to people. I prefer to custom code my game engine(s) as I don't like most coding style's of other engines (mc-codes) I do like ezRPG style. Its nice. :)

[Ben Nash]

eRPG is the best choice due to it being very easy to understand and code addons for it.

[LearningCoder]

Phhhhh ok well I started my own ezrpg game and got a few Addons for it :) just need to k ow how to make a new layout for it lol

[LearningCoder]

Anyone know where I can get a cron from? Also I have added a chat like what torn has got to the game aswell :)

[Danny696]

OH yay, another torn clone, just what we all wanted.

[LearningCoder]

Awwwqq, How is it? I'm just saying I got a chat on there like it so get your afacts right.

Whats the point in copying another game though. Its not even a good chat, its awful.

Also, Theres no need to act like that.

[LearningCoder]

hows it copying? and you tell me then another good chat to use? and im not being like anything you obviously have a problem with me

[Nickson]

@LearninCoder, if it looks and works pretty much the same, you can consider it a copy..

@danny, You're more than welcome to give your opinion on it. But please respect his choices as well, if you can't, then stay out of the thread. If he decided to copy torn, so be it. No need to keep going on about it.

[LearningCoder]

im not copying torn though im using EZRPG not mccodes and i just seen it on the ezrpg forum yesterday and it might still be classed as copying but im making it different from torn.

[a_bertrand]

I see LearningCoder a question like "Is it like McCode" is it releated to my own engine called New Worlds Engine? If yes, then the answer is no. Beside sharing the same language under (PHP) and the same database (MySQL) the similarity ends by the fact it produce a game. Everything else, from concept of the engine, to how it works is quiet different. Yet nothing prevent you to make the exact same kind of modules with it like you would have them in McCode.

Copying means more than ctrl + c & ctrl + v. If you copy concept, ideas, look and feel, functionality, ... basically whatever, you could consider it a copy. And no, I'm not saying that you can't or shouldn't. And yes, you'll always have similarities between games, or software for that matter. A good concept will always return. Look at the wheel for instance ;) A gang/alliance/faction/clan concept is public domain really, it's about the same. Using ezRPG instead of MCCode doesn't make it any less of a copy.

Just try to be original, and do it yourself. I've seen too many ctrl +c /ctrl+v type of things. If it's the same so be it, I do not mind if it (bene)fits your game, as long that the game itself is not a total copy of something else.
