Gaming Help

Ok, after playing some of the games, I wanna make my own now. I was thinking of doing an rpg boarding school Harry potter type based tickling game but with you know, tickling.

How would I go about doing that and does it cost money?

Gargelesis was made using RPG VX which can be free. I have a keygen for it if you want to use that

Well, unless you want to code it yourself (which is entirely possible, I would do it if I had the time), you will want to look into some kind of game designing program.

Since you specifically mention RPG, you'll want to look at the RPG Maker series:

RPG Maker XP (29.99 USD): http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/product.html?prod=xp

RPG Maker VX (59.99 USD): http://www.rpgmakerweb.com/product.html?prod=vx

For the record, I use RPG Maker VX. Kleptomaniac used XP to make Cackling Cave. Both come with a free 30 day trial, but that's hardly enough time to really get to know the program and actually figure out how to use it. I started with XP, made a few games, then quit for a while and just came back to VX for Tower of Gargalesis. My programming classes have certainly helped, though they aren't necessary to be able to do some of the simpler stuff.

It's a very intuitive program, but you'll definitely need to experiment/research to use either one to its full potential.

You can try to look for RM2k3, which shouldn't cost money, but I find it the hardest to customize due to the battle system (though you might like it better since it's a side view system).

If you need help, try looking around: http://www.rpgmakervx.net/index.php?

I check the forums daily and have made a few posts. Reading around, you can learn some really cool techniques and even find free scripts people have devised that can really alter the gameplay.

Have fun with it, but don't expect to push out something awesome in a short span of time. I've been working on Tower of Gargalesis since January and it's only around 25% done :\

Either of the RPG makers are a best bet. You won't be making any games without buying something, and they're both relatively cheap. But, my own advice, before you start worrying about the programming side of things, Try the dialog and story side of things, especially for a game that is going to be focused on a fetish. Nothing irritates me more than annoying repetitive dialog. And on the story side, a good game with good tickle content that's well done can be enjoyed severely. All of the above with a good story to boot is very memorable.

Anywho, just my advice. Take it or leave it. Ciao!

Just don't try making a game in QBASIC. That never turns out good.

10 Tickle feet.
20 Ha ha ha ha ha!
30 GOTO 10

😀 But seriously, I think as of right now RPG Maker XP/VX are the two best programs out there. Everything else is older or doesn't give you as much customization. And all of us who have used the program can help. Start with something simple first, learn how to make the outline of a really short game and what goes into it, and then you can make it bigger and bigger.

The programs are pretty easy to figure out. I started off knowing absolutely nothing and had a game out pretty quickly.

If you do use one of the RPG Makers, you will eventually need a few other programs to make everything the way you want it:

- An image editing software. Photoshop, basically. This way you can either modify current images, or create new ones for your game.
- A sound editing software. Just in case you want to trim down something that's too long to use (perhaps the small section of a song, for example).

Or to add to what Kleptomaniac said, a wife who can do all of your graphical design for you 😉
