Any good RPG tutorials?

by Weston Elliott · in Torque 3D Professional · 06/15/2012 (2:57 pm) · 6 replies

Currently I am getting back into game design and plan to make it a rather large hobby of mine. I have gone through the FPS Tutorial for T3D 1.2 and it was quite informative. I also have a book I am reading through to get me up to speed with a few things. However, it seems as if everything is geared mainly towards FPS style games. I personally am starting to get a bit bored with such games because there are just so many to choose from already, so therefore I would rather the game that I come up with be a bit different. I am more interested in making an RPG, or rather, an FPS RPG (kind of the same concept as Borderlands). What are some good tutorials or even T3D add-ons that would help me learn how to make an RPG with T3D?

Thanks to everyone in advance!

Hmm my spell tutorial or my Improved Particle Resource might get you going if you need some fancy particle effects.

This one: http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/3553 Might be relevant depending on the game you make. It's a conversation editor, that might get you started on doing quests, shops etc.

Data storage, depending on how you want to handle that can be handled by my rank/progression resources (with some slight alterations, of course).

Easy one (less secure): http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/20903

Harder one (more secure): http://www.garagegames.com/community/resources/view/21039

And don't forget the RTS Prototype (in the documentation under Scripting/Advanced), which runs over camera modes and other control method tidbits. That's all script, however - most of it could be improved if it were implemented engine-side.

Thanks everyone! All these posts will be very helpful to my learning! Thank you John, but the link seems to be mostly about MMO's and I am out to create a FPS RPG style game, which I may have LAN capabilities, or even light online (no more than 8 players) perhaps, but it would not exceed 8 players.

Other than that, I will have to take a long hard look at Lukas's and Robert's posts as they contain a lot of code that will likely help take me in a good direction.

Please, keep them coming! :-D
