Hello out there,

im basically a coder for industrial purpose but a enthusiastic RPG Player but in my opinion the skillsystems out there are... well... not my taste.

So i decided to develope my own but what keeps me from doing it, is that i have no idea which IDE or egine gives me the framework to do all the grafic stuff movement etc and i dont have to spent money for it.

So long story short, what would you reccomend as a basic tool to implement and test skillsystems if you dont want to care about anything else?

Thank you people for answer before hands!

Well, i thank you all for your suggestions, i think i give Unity a try.

if you want to build your own serious battle and skill-system, then you have to write a new engine from ground. you cant rely on any existing rpg solutions, they having usually very very primitive and simplistic systems, or in some cases, they have none. i suggest you to start building a game engine in c, the graphics and phisics engine can be very simple, it not has to be very modern, and once you have things happening properly on your screen (this will take maybe a month), you can start to code your complex game engine around this.

Well thank you all so far.

I tried Unity3d and i have to say, if you are common with C# this is the engine to start with!

Good tutorials and a lot of them!

I don't care a lot about models atm because im more interested in game mechanics.

Well if you have the rigth behaviour you can put any look over it.

I am very happy with Unity so far :)
