Depending on how you want to make your games..I make mine in paint and use alot of textures..from planit3d. It can be found here

Also googlesketch up is good too..you can use their library of several graphics...it can be found here

If you go to planit3d..and hit the links software it will give you more to pick from as well..I guess it depends on your needs..and whether or not you want to do anything in 3d or 2d..

Gimp is another good one for some..here

My personal fav is Paint..cause its easy to manouver.. lol..


I hope that this helps..

How?

How can I make a point and click / Escape the room style game easy without flash?

Hi DarkVice. I've moved your post here.

There are several ways to create a point 'n' click / Room Escape type game. I recommend reading through this thread, and checking out this thread as well:

One program that many have been using to make games is Adventure Maker. There is a free version of it. It can be found HERE.

Good luck!

EscapeGirl thanks for your response and I have used Adventure Maker once before, It was quite decent but I did not know how to upload the game =/
And with this program I find it hard to make them stickmen type point and click games where they move about which I like so If you could help me with that to it would be appreciated

Edit:
I was just wondering.. How can I make mobile games or applications?

It won't matter what you use to download Flash..from my understanding..Flash takes alongg time to download with or without broadband..so i've heard.

do you have another download utility you can use other than Getright..? you may have too, if it won't find it.
Seems strange that it won't..the only thing I can think of is , did you try to use it before..and are now trying to resume the download?..not sure..

For stickman games, the only one I can think of is Flash..
There are many other Game engines you can try..A few of them support mobile games and applications.

I hope this helps a bit..

you can try this link which Mistery has posted a few times throughout the thread..

Well last time it took 30 hours. as you can see my bro says GetRight can let you resume your download tommorrow without losing it. so i downloaded the lastest: GetRight 3D. I tried downloading it with it now to see if i can get it. but then a error said the link was not found. so i dont think any other downloading appliance can resume without losing the download. i think its only GetRight.

I would suggest you to check the Help Documents - especially the first tutorials to start out with AM:

Help, on my new game i have made it so when I use Item_x on hotspot_1 which is in a screen which is in a room change the wall in that screen when i use it so a door appears, but every time you leave that screen and go back in the door will be gone.. is there anyway to make the screen change for good after I have used item_x on the hotspot there????
Also when I pick up an item I cannot see it in my inventory, and is there also a way to make the inventory at the bottom of the screen?

[Mistery]

Yes, you need to work with variables.

I would do it like this:
Create a hotspot for the door, add the picture of the door to it (General Tab -> Hotspot Appearance)
Go to the variables tab, and set it so that the hotspot is only enabled if the variable door=1 (you need to create a new integer variable called door).
Create a second hotspot on top of the first hotspot, and leave it blank. Click the "Manage inventory" link on the Frame Editor. Drag the item onto that hotspot. Select the "remove the dragged item..." on the Action tab.
Go to the Variables tab, and set it so that the variable door becomes the value 1.
Then the door should show when you come back to the screen, and not disappear.

Hmmmm, why don't you see the item in the inventory?
Create a hotspot for the item, and add its picture to it.
Then go to the items tab, and check the box "When the hotspot is clicked, add an item to the inventory"
Then click "new item", give the icon a name, and select an icon for it.
To prevent that this item can be picked up many times, go to the action tab, and check the box "Hide and disable this hotspot"

No, currently the inventory at the top of the screen is the standard.
With the full version of AM, and a lot of scripting, it would be possible to create a custom inventory, but would be a lot of work.

Hope this helps
