im looking for a iso rpg engine, preferably something very easy to use. thanks

Give more information if you want people to give you good recommendations. Properietary or open source? Free, cheap, or price doesn't matter? Cross-platform, or machine specific? Any specific libraries, languages, or file formats you are wishing to use?


The only isometric RPG engine I know of is FIFE. It's still in development, but they have released working versions of the engine already, and its free and open source as well. [grin]

As Roots said: we'll need more information before we can give you a good advice. What kind of project are you planning to do? If you already got the whole story and concept written down, I wouldn't go for FIFE because it's not ready to go straight into production with it yet.

I'm the FIFE project manager and the engine is currently slowly moving from pre-alpha to alpha status. We just implemented a basic NPC scripting system but this is far from being finished or even usable. If your project is a long-term one I can recommend FIFE; though we had some progress slowdowns now and then (I guess that's quite normal for open source projects) we're making slow but steady progress.

If you got more questions about the engine I can answer them here. For a general introduction, have a look at these two threads:
