3D
Gamemaker |
||
I suppose one of the most glamorous jobs that any games player can imagine is to actually work on the development of a computer game or to be responsible for its conception and eventual feel. But what most people fail to realise is that it usually takes a team of dozens, each specialised in a particular field, up to a couple of years to make a title street-worthy. Thankfully, there is now a product that will
enable anyone with a game concept to get a working and playable version of their idea
running within minutes. Plus, with the ability to save it as an executable file, it’s
very easy to send it to family and friends to get their opinion before hawking it around
the publishers. With an amazing 12 billion gaming combinations
the 3D GAMEMAKER from Focus will allow you to bring your imagination to life. From
a single click, randomly generated, instantly playable game to something that you take
control of every step of the way, the possibilities are virtually endless. First person
shooters, third person horror epics, war simulations, space combat, cartoon capers and
high-octane racers are all within your grasp – plus many more – and they can all
be created without any programming knowledge whatsoever. Using a catalogue of 360 pre-created scenarios
you can add from 500-3D objects and more than 300 sounds; place enemies, objects and items
anywhere you like; dictate difficulty settings; include MP3 soundtracks from a selection
of almost 200 or import your own. You can even scan in your own image and star in the game
yourself. You can create entirely unique scenes with a simple scene editor and change the
motion functions of any game object by adding legs, wheels or wings – the options are
incalculable. I imagine that all this makes the 3D
GAMEMAKER sound comprehensive and complex? Comprehensive it certainly is but with
almost everything needing just a single click to implement it’s simplicity itself to
use. You’ll be amazed at the results you’ll achieve with only a few minutes play
and although your efforts probably wont win any awards for gaming excellence you’ll
still amaze everyone with what you can achieve. Price: £29.99 on PC CD ROM. |
