Hi
Im new to reality factory and i wanna ask some questions
Is it possible to make a turn-based rpg game with RF such as Final Fantasy games by Square-Enix
If so can any one show my a link to some tutorials...
Thanks a Bunch
Question..
moved to general discussions.
its possible, but its a very advanced topic. if you are a beginner, it is best to try a different type of game first, and then, when you get comfortable with pawn scripting and rf in general, it will be possible.

First off I would like to say: Welcome to the RF forums and community!
It is very possible to make a turnbased RPG like Final Fantasy. However, this would require alot of indepth weapon scripting and clever pawn/player interation scripting. Once you learn about RF and how to make games with it, this project becomes very possible but would require alot of scripting, careful panning and an extreamly large chunk of time to acheive somthing as big as Final Fantasy on your own. Remember, the square enix boys have many many people on their development teams and it takes them a few years to make a Final fantasy game. (I think that it takes that long to make one, I am guessing, most games do take that long to make.)
I do not mean to discourage you in creating your own Final Fantasy style game, in fact I encourage you to try it. I have been working on my first game in RF for over a year now and am still in early development stages with project expectations that would be just as high as a FF game. The first thing I did was learn all about RF and how it was set up so I could figure out how I could acheive the effects I wanted. Still learning more about RF I am deep into a FPS project and am hoping to impliment a duel weilding weapons system like in Halo 2(but better ) along with taking advantage of the new physics system, making a destructable and realistic world for players to explore, and making AI that is smart. I know these are possible because of my massive background knowledge in RF. I read numerous tutorials, have read a large portion of the RF Manual(available for download in the Docs section) and have asked many questions here in the forums. So, please post any questions you have about anything. Someone here will gladly help you out.
