I dont think you even need an engine for DS game maker.... i think you can just start from scratch using it. i might be wrong, but if you dont need to code the engine... id just start from scratch.

 

Ive personally never coded anything, but i am in the process of learning how to code!
so, im afraid i cant help you on that. sorry!

 

Don't think you are in a position to advise anyone about anything here Alex Plunkett.

You failed at creating a project with DS Game Maker (the easy way) then failed even worse using your own devices (programming).

Also - as you are considerably younger than me - lest it be said - Age of the creator is irrelevant.

 

I'm not trying to flame here, but there has yet to be a complete game with DSGameMaker submitted by someone, even in it's two years of development.

I have no grudge against the software, I mean, it's great for beginners, however; Some people think it should be free of charge.

So do you catch my jist?

-DSGameMaker can't do 3D (as James claimes "yet")
-It's getting noobier ever version
-It actually costs 11 dollars (in a recession)
-You need MSFrame.net installed


It's funny also, because James pretends he hates me but he actually misses me from DSGameMaker.

 

Well Mr.Pike,
I wasn't complaining about the program, just pure heart coding is more efficent.
