Dungeon Maker is a roleplaying game creator and was inspired by all the old Dungeon Crawlers games like Bloodwych, Dungeon Master and Eye of the Beholder. The idea behind Dungeon Maker is to remake all these old games in a updated engine using all the latest features that PCs can do these days using 3D but to also keep the feeling of playing an old classic game. The beauty of Dungeon Maker is that it is going to be a game plus a game editor so will be fully editable so people can remake there own games.

Making games work under Windows Vista.
Mark Overmars:"Games created with Game Maker versions 6.0 and 6.1 are not compatible with Windows Vista. The best you can do is upgrade to version 7.0 of Game Maker before you create the final version of your game.However, if this is impossible, there is a little tool to convert games created with versions 6.0 and 6.1 into a file that is compatible with WIndows Vista.Please understand that this tool is provided AS IS without any warranty. It is just a quick hack and should be used with care. Always first make a copy of your game.Please realise that you are not allowed to redistribute converted games unless you are the creator or copyright holder of the original game."

Automatic Rigging and Animation of 3D Characters.
Author:"Animating an articulated 3D character currently requires manual rigging to specify its internal skeletal structure and to define how the input motion deforms its surface. This is a tedious process and we describe a method to automate it. Our motivation is to be able to build a system for children and other non-professional animators that, when presented with, for example, an unfamiliar quadruped character, can immediately execute commands such as "make it walk like a dog." To achieve this, we need to be able to embed an existing skeleton into the volume inside a character mesh, and then to attach the mesh vertices to the bones of the embedded skeleton. To our knowledge, this has not been previously attempted."

endorphin Learning Edition (eLE) is your free, time-unlimited version of endorphin. Packed with all the features* of endorphin 2.7, LE allows you to learn and evaluate endorphin in your own time.
This is a great tool, actually the animations are not pre-build, eansted the developer will teach the 'actors' how to behave(so far i have understood sorry for any bad information). You can play, test or produce for evaluation purpose, the only negative thing on this stuff is the very high price (which is normal considering this tool is for triple A products).
Download endorphin LE for free now, and experience the power of Dynamic Motion Synthesis.

Lassie Adventure Studio is a Lucas Arts style adventure game creation utility built with Macromedia Flash and Director to allow quick and easy definition of interactions and environments through a graphical interface. The Lassie engine's default game playback uses a verb disc interaction system very similar to the one seen in the Lucas Arts classic, "The Curse of Monkey Island".
In addition, Lassie Adventure Studio is geared toward non-programmers. If the idea of scripting makes you uncomfortable, you've come to the right place! A collection of pre-authored modules (called TIMe's) have been assembled to control game play and limit the developer's programming to single-line commands. TIMe commands are more of a vocabulary than a scripting language, where key words will trigger specific results.

SLUDGE (Scripting Language for Unhindered Development of a Gaming Environment) is a shareware adventure game engine developed by Hungry Software. It combines a scripting language with other IDE tools (including a sprite bank editor and a floor region editor). Freeware and commercial adventure games can be created with the engine.
The engine and development kit are freely distributed, meaning that anyone can play and create SLUDGE games. The development kit had certain restrictions which were removed after purchasing a serial number. Because of lack of buyers also the development kit was released as free in 30 December 2006. That was the only change between versions 1.6 and 1.7.

vbGORE is an Open Source ORPG (Online Role-Playing Game) engine, made through Visual Basic 6 utilizing the support of DirectX8 and WinSock API libraries. It is designed for the public to have the ability to create their own ORPG without extensive programming knowledge. And though programming is not required, having a basic knowledge will allow for better personalization and use of the engine.
vbGORE is much more powerful then many of your typical VB (Visual Basic) made ORPGs (Online RPG) / OREs (Online RPG Engine). With the power of the DirectX 8, you are open to all the 3D effects you could want in a 2D rpg engine by putting in 3d rpg engine abilities from alphablending and rotations to scaling and lighting. With the 6 tile layers, flexible particle engine and 24 lights per tile, you are able to create a world the way you want it to look. Also, with the optimized binary packet sending and the Sox Winsock API wrapper, you can support tens of thousands of players with less bandwidth then any other VB ORPG engine.

Raydium is a game engine. It provides a set of functions wich allow quick and flexible games creation.
Functions covers things like player inputs (keyboard, mouse, joystick, joypad, force feedback), rendering (3D objets, OSD (On Screen Display)), time (a game must run at the exact same speed on every computer), sound, ... (there's a lot more things to manage, in fact ;)
The project was started in 2001, trying to become a small 3D library, as a training to OpenGL.
But Raydium starts to manage more and more things (time engine, PHP scripting, physics engine, ...), and is now about to become a full "game engine".
As a demonstration, here it is some technical functionalities of Raydium:
Portability (ANSI C) : Linux / Win32 (and probably some others)
OpenGL rendering (80 000 vertices per frame at a correct framerate), fog support, dynamic lighting, transparency, skyboxes, MultiTexturing, MipMapping, ...
Totally simplified API : simple learning curve (example: raydium_object_draw_name("objet.tri"), raydium_sound_load_music("musique.ogg"), ...)
ODE integration (Open Dynamics Engine) in Raydium's core, providing a simple access to a physics engine (see RayODE)
Ingame console, allowing access to Raydium or application on the fly.
PHP Support: PHP/Raydium interface, for a full interaction between PHP and applications. It's possible to write almost all the application with PHP (see RayPHP and RegAPI).
Integrated network API, for multiplayer games in all simplicity.
OpenAL support : sound, music (streaming OGG), 3D source positioning) in a few function calls.
Simplified building scripts and static binaries support for an easy distribution.
Import/export solutions to other 3D formats: 3DStudio, Blender et DirectX (see ImportExportTri).
Joysticks and wheels fore feedback support (Linux only, for now).
Data repositories : Raydium applications can download (or update) missing files. Data uploading is also supported (see R3S).
Lightmaps support, radiosity lightmaps calculations, with FsRadRay (example : http://ftp.cqfd-corp.org/radiosity_tex.png)
GLSL Shaders
Raydium is free software, available under GPL License.
Raydium is designed to be the engine used behind the MeMak project, but some complex tests were already created with this engine, as a few "complete" games: ManiaDrive, NewSkyDiver and Isaac.
There are a lot of others 3D/game engines (and some are very complete, such as Ogre, Crystal Space, ...). Raydium does not try to be as complex as these engines, but contrary, is aiming quick and simple developpement. A good example of this simplicity is NewSkyDiver, a game in less than 750 lines of code.

jME (jMonkey Engine) is a high performance scene graph based graphics API. Much of the inspiration for jME comes from David Eberly's book 3D Game Engine Design.
jME was built to fulfill the lack of full featured graphics engines written in Java. Using a abstraction layer, it allows any rendering system to be plugged in. Currently, LWJGL is supported with plans for JOGL support in the near future.
jME is completely open source under the BSD license. You are free to use jME in anyway you see fit, hobby or commercial. All we ask is a little footnote (donations are nice too.)

An open source multiplayer online framework to easily create games.
Arianne is a multiplayer online games framework and engine to develop turn based and real time games.
It provides a simple way of creating games on a portable and robust server architecture. The server is coded in Java and uses Python for your game description, provides a MySQL backend and uses an UDP transport channel to communicate with dozens of players.
Our reference client engines are coded using Java and the C language in order to achieve maximum portability.
Arianne has been in development since 1999 and has evolved from a tiny application written in pseudo-C++ to a powerful, expandable but simple server framework, running on the Java platform, and a portable client framework, written in bare C to allow total portability of arianne's clients. Arianne's server is totally client agnostic.
Since the beginning, the key concept at the heart of Arianne's development has been KISS: Keep it simple, stupid!

The purpose of this lightweight language is the quick and easy creation of multimedia or graphics applications, or 2D and 3D computer games. Its syntax is similar to C. So the source code of a lite-C program can theoretically also be compiled with any other C/C++ compiler. However, due to its native support of multimedia objects like sounds, images, movies, GUI panels, 2D and 3D models, game levels, and rigid body physics you can achieve results with a few lines in lite-C that would require hundreds of source code lines with other C/C++ compilers.
Lite-C is ideal when you don't want to concentrate on programming, but on the content. It's also ideal for learning programming. And for ambitous projects: lite-C supports DLLs and COM (Component Object Model), the Windows API, OpenGL, and DirectX. The lite-C package contains the development environment with editor, compiler, and debugger, and many samples of DirectX, OpenGL, and other multimedia programs. A free 3D model editor for creating 3D content is also available.
Lite-C can be freely downloaded and used for noncommercial purposes. For creating 3D content for lite-C, use the free model editor MED. For starting with lite-C, work through the tutorial.

Put together dynamic characters easily with Skeleton. Using only a handful of separate sprites (an arm, a head, a body, etc), you can design a skeleton for your character and apply sprites to it. Bend your character and see it come to life as all the sprites are automatically moved and rotated with the skeleton. Use key frames and loads of other features to quickly and easily animate your character. Saves tons of time when putting together the sprites for your next game.

Author says:Play. Make. Share.
Novashell is a game maker that allows rapid development of scrolling, adventure, and role-playing games with an extra focus on AI and RPG elements like dialogs, quest, mapping, and item systems.The underlying principle is everything can be cut and pasted and still work right.
An OpenGL capable graphics card is required.
Price: Free!
This engine is also driving the new adventure/RPG we have in development so you can be sure it will have all the features needed to make a decent game. Well, if we ever finish the RPG that is.

A well-supported open source project, Delta3D is a full-function game engine appropriate for a wide variety of modeling & simulation applications (training, education, visualizations, and entertainment).
Delta3D is an Open Source engine which can be used for games, simulations, or other graphical applications. Its modular design integrates other well-known Open Source projects such as Open Scene Graph, Open Dynamics Engine, Character Animation Library, and OpenAL. Rather than bury the underlying modules, Delta3D just integrates them together in an easy-to-use API -- always allowing access to the important underlying components. This provides a high-level API while still allowing the end user the optional, low-level functionality.Currently, Delta3D is developed and tested on Windows XP using Microsoft Visual Studio .NET (7.1) and Fedora Core 4 using gcc 4.0.0. All the underlying dependencies are cross-platform as well, so just about any platform should be compatible with some modifications to the source (only Win32 and Linux are supported at the moment).

Thousand Parsec is a framework for turn based space empire building games.
It is important to understand that Thousand Parsec is not a game by itself, it is a frame work for creating a similar group of games. Some of the games, such as our first demo game MiniSec, are developed by the Thousand Parsec developers themselves. In the near future we hope that other developers will create their own games using Thousand Parsec.
Some examples of games which Thousand Parsec draws ideas from are, Stars!, VGA Planets, Master of Orion and Galactic Civilizations. These games are often called 4 X's from the main phases found in the games, eXplore, eXpand, eXploit and eXterminate. If you haven't heard of them, other games which are a bit similar include, Civilisation, Hero's of Might and Magic and Starcraft.
Thousand Parsec includes everything you need for
play any of the currently running games,
set up your own game using already designed games, and
building your own space empire building game.

Dopo Rpg Maker 2000 (venduto solo in giappone ma di cui esiste una versione tradotta) e Rpg Maker 2003(shareware venduto anch'esso solo in giappone) finalmente la enterbrain ha rilasciato una versione anche in inglese, Rpg Maker XP appunto. Si tratta di un programma che consente di creare il proprio gioco di ruolo ai non-programmatori. Aggiornato e ampliato rispetto alle versioni precedenti, risulta essere davvero un ottimo tool (anche se non free). Per maggiori info:
