Wanting to create a CRPG. Love the eschalon games

Post by AtheneWins »

Hello. I've beaten Book II twice and am halfway through Book I.
These are some of the best CRPGs that I have played, perhaps even rivalling the godly NWN and BG, although still being much different games.

I would like to create my own CRPG but I do not know how to code. Currently my best option is to use SC2 but I feel like the game is too bloated for the slow paced game I would like.

Years ago I remember playing with a program called "rpg maker x" or something similar. It let me create turn based rpgs very easily. Is there anything on the market that is even more flexible?

I would like to easily be able to:
- Create interesting quests (Not just kill x or collect x. Maybe defend x for x time)
- Create talent trees and classes
- Create cool spells (Not just x dmg but other more complicated effects)
- Easily upload my own art

What are my options if I do not know any coding other than "if statements"?

Thank you BG. I appreciate your awesome games
