Trying to decide on what to use to make games for my club again. We have a wider variety of members than I thought we would. Some people want to use C++, some want to use ruby with rpg maker, others want to use html 5, some want to use game maker or other things.
So I'm trying to weigh the pros and cons but that would mean individually looking up what people have to say about all these various choices. So I thought I'd come here to help me decide what we should use to get started.
Our choices are
C++ with SFML
Java
HTML 5
GameMaker
RPG Maker
Unity
What I'm really wondering is how easy is GameMaker and RPG Maker to use? Also RPG Maker has many different versions. What are the differences in versions and what are the pros and cons of each? Also, how difficult is making a 2D game in Unity?
Thanks for any help, it's really appreciated.
