Did anyone knew about this two software?

[Neophyte88]

No i did not!

MAN I NEED TO HAVE THIS!!!

THNX!!!

10 reps 4 u :-P

Ok, I checked out both trial versions.

Mobile Basic is ...
well, crap.

You have to compile java-like applets, the environment is very poor and it's not very different from coding in java;
there are few tools to help you out ( a map builder, an image editor ) and they are also very bad designed.

Game Editor instead looks like an older version of Games Factory ...
basically you create objects into a virtual environment and you "click togheter" your game, very simple to use and no coding required.

However, it's very buggy, I don't think it's possible to go past the classic arkanoid or space invaders clone ... and I've worked a lot with The Games Factory, this one is far worse.
You can export your game in a Windows, Linux, Palm or Symbian version.

It's also very expensive, 49$ for the full version.
Maybe if it was cheaper ...
( well ... I'm not requesting ... but ... :rolleyes: )

... I wonder,if only someone could port RPG Maker for S60 phones! :-o

[iNF|NiTY]

Ahh...like the games factory you say. Well it is possible to make good games with that if you are prepared to put the effort in to make a good physics engine using tons of events first...

ill have a look at this app.

oh that would be soooooo sweet!!!

it might be possible too!

[iNF|NiTY]

RPG maker is far too limited...Games Factory/Multimedia Fusion are much better and can do all types of game.

[Vazkor]

Yep, of course,
for this reason it could MAYBE be ported to S60.

They made an RPG Maker for Gameboy Color, afterall ...

Cool, but it doesn't seem to support Symbian yet? I made some games and screen savers in Games Factory and Click and Create.

Here is a screen saver I made http://www.angelfire.com/rebellion/stieg/Raggarapa.zip

TGF supports Symbian?
I don't think so ...
someone can help making this point clear?

No, TGF doesn't support symbian? But Game Editor, and ju said it was like TGF.

[Vazkor]

Yep, like a dumbed down version ...
too expensive, in my opinion.

[v7e6j5]

I'll leave the creation of games being created 2 the experts. I'm just a player.

[iNF|NiTY]

Far too expensive for what it can do :/

[Vazkor]

There's no chance ... to ... ehm, cr**k it?

[iNF|NiTY]

Of course, but really its not worth it. Its crap, and the 30 day trial is with all crap features already in it.

[Vazkor]

Nope, you can't export your work so no Symbian games ...
well, it's not REALLY crap, it's only very limited ...
I'm sure I could do something playable with it.
