I started with 95 too and then moved to using 2000. My first project was to convert the book “Castle of Wisdom” by Rhett Ellis into a RPG. I made a very nice opening sequence but didn’t get very far past the first town and dungeon.

Game Factory looks like it would be perfect for creating 2D platformers. Thanks for the comment.

I think I remember hearing of RPG Toolkit a while back, but I have no previous experience with it. Looks like a great tool!

great read, I used to use RPG maker 95, before XP was even around, had some great projects just out of fun.

The game factory, I played with it as a kid, don’t need to know how to code.

If you’re a fan of the old Sierra/Lucas Arts point and click adventure games, you could give Adventure Game Studio, Visionare2D or Wintermute a try.

IMO, trial-ware with feature restrictions but no time-limits are better. Using this program for 30 days will just tempt me to either buy or pirate the program (either of which I am not gonna do).
Anyway, there is always an alternative, like in this case, RPG Toolkit.

You’re right – the full version isn’t free. However, it does have a very functional and free 30 day trial, which is enough time to create a small RPG and get a feel for the program. I’d encourage anyone with a desire to make their own RPG to try it out.

Nice post. Alas, RPG Maker XP is not free :(
