Hello. I've been looking into game making for a while. I've looked into just about everything. The various RPG Makers, Game Maker, Unity, Unreal Engine, etc. etc.. Today I randomly stumbled upon a website that was simply a list of game engines. Sphere was mentioned for making RPGs. It said it has existed since 1997. I find that quite odd. You see, I've been an avid user of the internet since that very year (I'm 30). And a hardcore PC gamer. And looked in on various game creation tools over the years and I've never heard of Sphere. Either that, or I completely forgot about it.
I gotta say, the website is...lacking in information. It basically says nothing about what Sphere is. I mean, I can google. I found this this which gave a bit of a description. And the sourceforge, and a couple other pages. Almost nothing on youtube, either. I'm not sure if you guys prefer to be small and inclusive, or what. Perhaps you dislike newcomers. I don't know. Just all a bit odd. However, I'm here (and in IRC, idling with 4 other idlers). I'm kinda interested in possibly tinkering with Sphere (or the other newer versions).
At this point, I've almost settled on using Game Maker (especially after I learned Hotline Miami was made with it). I've watched some tutorials and learned a lot about it. Its scripting is decent enough and sorta-kinda easy to learn. But if Sphere is easier or simpler or just...works, I might use it. I mean, I'm interested in making an RPG, after all. I'm also kind of a weirdo and like the idea of using an engine that has managed to somehow evade my notice for 18 whole years.
I'm currently skimming through the wiki.
