   Website Game and Downloadable Game
  I was given this forum by ProFantasy to get help - I need help.Online Game on Website and Downloadable GameI am a music creator, player and recorder and I do meditations as well. I am getting into gaming for those who do my training.I am just now getting ProFantasy Software (Campaign Cartographer 3, City Designer 3) for creating maps for the games and VUE 7 and using CELESTIA for space shots.I am creating the games to be used now, but now I want to do them in two ways.1. Online Games on my own website2. Games to download from my websiteThe development of the games is going fine and I am excited about doing them through the above software, but was looking around for ways to do my - Website Online games - maybe some gaming software I need to use and also to load onto my Website- Downloadable shorter games software that I could load all of the images from the mapping software into.I am wanting these games to be very professional looking and working.If anyone can give me some excellent suggestions about how I can get these two things developed and what possible softwares I could get to do them I would greatly appreciate it. I am not a programmer so I need software that does it for me. Maybe someone is familiar with some that will help me.- adolphino

How could you tell it what your game should "do"?The software you've talked about so far allows you to create graphics for games, but not the games themselves! Creating a map is a good start, but without some programming there is no way you'll be able to make anything playable.There are some tools out there for creating simple games "without programming", but in order to get anything half-decent out of them you will have to delve into scripting, which is effectively programming. Try googling for "Game Maker". In any case, without programming you are limited to simple graphics and generic gameplay.You cannot create something professional without professional game development skills.If you're willing to put the time in, I can suggest the following for creating 3D games for the web:* Java* ShockwaveAnd for downloadable games, you have practically endless choice:* Blitz/Dark Basic* Java* C/C++/C#* Python* ...   ;  There are a few new options for 3D on the web.  There is unity's web plugin, which is pretty neat as unity is a good engine with a nice editor.  Google has just released a very cool plugin for fast 3D through &#106avascript.  I don't know much about it other than that it looks pretty good.  And, of course, there are the various Flash 3D engines.  I recommend papervision for 3D in flash, but thats because I have the most experience with it (and practically none with the alternatives).;Quote:Original post by WavyVirusQuote:Original post by adolphinoI am not a programmer so I need software that does it for me.

It can output web-applications too ;)However, as with other graphical "programming" tools, it's obviously going to produce much worse output that an actual programmer would come up with.
