Easy to use game designer for non programer #1220

Hi, Godot Developers.

First of all I want to thanks to all of you for creating great game engine with very permissive license. Your effort will help many developers and students with tight budget to fulfill they dream.

With current status of Godot, open source gaming will has brighter future. Unfortunately most of open source of game engine is designed with advanced user in mind with little knowledge about programming. It still cannot reach a beginner game maker.

My suggestion is to provide an easy to use game designer/editor with intuitive GUI and predefined class to ease the task of new programmer. More programmer means more user (because Godot user is game programmers).

I know one game engine which do this job well. It is writen from Ruby, originally from Japan, and translated to English worldwide. It is called RPG Maker VX Ace. Despite the RPG word in front of its name, it is capable enough to create non-RPG game with its built-in Ruby Game Scripting System (RGSS).

The following list is example of games made with RPG Maker engine:

  1. Aleph (RPG Adventure)
  2. No Manatees Promised (Arcade)
  3. Ragarokk - Bestiarium (Card Game)
  4. Earth Under Attack! (Shooter)
  5. Terra (VisualNovel)
  6. Memories of Mana (Action RPG)
  7. Myhos - The Beginning (Horror)

I wish Godot engine become as popular as RPG Maker, because it has much more features than RPG Maker. Beginner programmer just need an easy to use interface. If it was success, Okam studio may become next GOG or Steam which publish thousands of games created by inde developers.

Regards,Ryan
