{Insert title/description here} I don't want to make it on starcraft, and I don't want to make it huge. I don't want it to be an rts, or really any sort of rpg or side scroller. I want it to be a top down game with a single map I can screw with. I don't want to hardcore program it and I want to work on it little by little.
Just I want to experiment with somethnig simple, so I want to work with an easy to use game creation software.
Did I mention I don't want it to have any sort of bettleing? Maybe a few minigames but...
Anyway I want people to sugest a good game making software to me, something simple to learn and not to time consuming to say make a map that you don't do anythnig on. And easily makable graphics for. Just remeber I need most of my maknig time to contribute to Syrreph's as of yet unnamed RTS project, among other things.
I suppose you could use GameMaker, Blitz, or DarkBasic for something so small, but if you're thinking about more than that, I'd say no.
If you want to give it some functionality, try getting an engine and messing around with it, like OGRE, Crystal Space, or OSG.
These are 3D engines, but they could still work.
