I thinks it's more the problem to find enough customers for tools and add-ins in this forum
who make it economical interesting to spend the time with the creation...
The product can be as good as whatever, if there are no customers around who buy it,
the time and efford is lost.

something like :
-script for hero (move, fight, inventory)
-simple dialog tree
-script for RPG skills management and some panels
-script for monsters
-icons and panels for powers, inventory, skills tree like diablo

all that with a working example : after that ; it's to user to custoize , change
colors, icons etc ....





This is a good Idea that TheExpert and Frank_G are talking about. And it was something I was trying myself though I finally realize I lack the needed skill or desire to complete such a project.
But, if some skilled scripter could put such together for themselves there is no reason they could not share a lessor/altered version of such for others to purchase.

There is some money to be made in this forum.

there are lot of people who could pay for an affordable
3D RPG engine , lot of people use some 2D RPG engines, fast and easy to use.

if someone would create a very affordable one in 3D with good essential models :
i mean not iold dated , squarry robotic ones

some trees, plants houses, heroes,monsters , spell and particle effects,grass and tree wind, dialog/quest system.


I have played with Titan Quest editor : amazing what you can achieve and
incredibly easy to use

Indeed it is lot of money to grab for the people that will success bringing that.

But think about this: Almost every user - maybe 10 thousands - are creating their own player and enemy codes. Why? We could save tons of time. 10 thousands times 60 hours are 60 thousands hours saved only with a good package. We all should support this idea.




Yeah, but part of me thinks it's not so bad ... If code is customizable, but still the core is similar, well I don't know, but I think you'd actually notice this when playing games using the same movement code or AI, probably especially AI. That's definately not what I would like ...
Just take a look at the movement of Unreal Tournament 2004 and games like Pariah, they are using the same code ... and in Pariah that's not a good thing,

I wont reveal exactly but more than nothing.. Its nice to get a paycheck each month, even if for ony a few hundred or less..but is it worth the effort put into it? Not really. But i have had other benefits which are worth somewhat more.

About the icon pack, I dont think the quality is terrible, remember its supposed ot be generic. Someone could easily take these icons and modify them to make them a bit more custom.

"Someone could easily take these icons and modify them to make them a bit more custom"

Someone that could do that could also easily make a lot better ones,learning
to create icons, textures metal etc .. it's easy and lot of tutorials exists
in the web.

OR better a 3D rendered image retouched could even be better.

Well like it is money to do

For RPG , lot of people easily would pay some 40 $ or more if quality is here for a complete customizable solution like some 3D RGP MAKER

OK ,

I have watched again ta their product and there are some icons not bad at all,
like a good helmet and chain armor.

But the rest is too simplist.

Finally , yes you can sell and find buyers for very simple content others people
could do.

If your content is a lot better , like 3D rendered icons or animated ones,
or simply lot better visual ones, you're sure also to find buyers.

The Expert, I dotn think your are an expert on anything... why not make your own icon pack than babble about how it should be rendered or not.. this is silly. Whats your point?
