Rpgmaker

How much do you think it would cost to pay someone to create the game on the genesis ?

Standard programmer fees. You'd essentially be hiring someone. No one will work cheaply on someone else's game unless that game happens to be really close to something they already intended to do AND they have a lot of say in the project.

Instead of hiring someone to program for you why don't you learn c yourself it is not as hard as it may seem in the beginning.

#include <iostream>
using namespace std;
int main()
{
   cout << "hello world";
}

See not bad at all.

I thought you need to know assembly for sega games

If you use sgdk you can program in c try it out it is easy to do stuff like display text although my hello world example will not work in sgdk but there is a function for drawing text

A small RPG creation engine would be fun though, imagine something where you can choose from like 25 prebuild houses,
then you create a small story, only set in this one small town.. we could have tiny rpg's for on flashcarts!

Imagine all the RPG projects that would get started and never be finished. I mean, more than what you normally see abandoned for homebrew.

I did have an idea of trying something like this. Though what I had in mind was more like just the tools to make an RPG and not something that you could just drag and drop to make a game. So what I had in mind would be something where you'd have modules for different ways of doing battle engines, maps, dungeons, etc. and pick the ones you wanted to use, then it's up to you to create the data for it to use.

That's C++ actually.

Huh? What does making development easier have to do with abandoned projects?

[makinagenesis]

ahhhh my first code that i did at university, brings back memories!

[sega16]

That's C++ actually.

sorry

int main()
{
printf("hello world",NULL);
}

not sure if this will compile though usually I put a variable were it says NULL

It goes like this, make 'making a game' more accessible to people that ordinarily wouldn't (say, on a console) and you get a lot of ambitious start ups with no see through to the end. Once people find out how hard/tedious/long it is to make a full game (even a small game). All you have to do is look at BASIC related projects over the years. Or just look at all the RPGmaker start up projects as well. Most people are deterred from even starting on making a game for an old console because of the difficult learning curve, so you end up with more dedicated type people. It kind of weeds out the less determined. Game development by itself is a difficult accomplishment to see through to the end, regardless of what set of tools or programming languages you use.

so we decided to make the game on rpgmaker and if its actually good , we'll try and bring it to other platforms

Slackers will be slackers regardless of elite assembly knowledge. More accessible tools means more developers - both good and bad ones. I do see your point though and it's not entirely without merit.

I will, however, have to punish you with a Divine Sealing clone made in BasiEgaXorz in simulated CGA Text Mode.

I ended up using google becuase I have never heard of Divine Sealing and found this:

I guess you are not the only one with that idea.
