Here are a few good programs I have found. There are a million more programs like this but, these are the best ones that I have found so far. If I find any more good programs they will be added.
| Program | Price | Description |
| Game Maker | Free or $20 (for Pro Version) | With Game Maker you can create almost any game. It is VERY easy to use and it has limitless options with the built in programing language. ( Plus Extension Packages) It also can create 3-D games but they are not as good as 3-D Game Maker. |
| FPS Creator |
(Currently, $29.99) |
With it you can create amazing 3-D games! The only problem is that it only makes 3-D games. If you are not worried about that then this is the program for you. (Also, the game uses models. Each model pack costs an extra sum of money.) |
| RPG ToolKit |
Free |
Create amazing RPG games. Really! Just download it and look at the demo game! The only thing is that it is only good for RPGs. You could use it for other games, but it would not be easy. |
| Blender |
Free |
This is an amazing 3-d modeling program. It has the ability to make 3-d meshes, videos, and even games! This program is VERY intimidating upon first opening, however with time, you will see that this program’s work system is one of the easiest that you may have ever worked with. Worried that it won’t work on your computer? Don’t be! There is a version for Windows, Linux, Mac, Solaris, and Irix! |
