Title: about amos/amiga
Post by: rednova on August 11, 2007, 04:05:49 PM

Dear Friends:

I read the book 'game maker's manual' a long time ago. A quote caught my attention (but I forgot the exact words).It said something like 'the amiga is a very powerful system to produce role-playing games (using amos of course). I really liked that.
cheers!!!

I've heard Zelda is not an RPG since it is missing some vital parts that it would need to be a 'proper' rpg. Since the term came from the table top rpg's like Dungeons and Dragons, I would have to agree.

Hi! I'm new here.. I purchased amos the creator package years ago. I have been using my Amigas mainly for gaming, but have always been somewhat thrilled of the idea of making my own game someday. However, I have very little programming experience. I think altough old, Amos still is capable package. Well, Im somewhat into roleplaying, too.. I just finished Ambermoon on the Amiga, and thought it was great. -Well, would it be possible to make a similar kind of rpg using mainly  Amos ? :-D

@macce2

Hello and welcome to the Amos Factory.  This is a great place to learn about programming in Amos.

Making a role-playing game in Amos is a definite possibility especially if it's not got realtime combat.  Even if it does, you'll do alright with Amos.  I'd suggest downloading AmosPro from the archives here though since it has a lot of features and extensions that won't work on Amos the Creator.  Although they are in .ADF format you can use ADF Blitzer (http://aminet.net/package/disk/misc/adfblitzer) to unpack them to floppies on your Amiga.

If you need more advice, feel free to start a new thread.  And welcome again.

@SamuraiCrow

Thanks for advice!
Maybe I'll learn to really do SOMETHING with Amos eventually..even if I'm not a coder per se... -who knows ?    ;D
This kind of forum is a great thing, indeed!
