Ok so I'm doing software design and development for yr11 and 12 so i'll probably be here allot with heaps of stupid questions. I'm using VB.NET. I want to make an rpg for my major project so I'm gonna work hard to make a good one.

So where do I start?

tutorials would be VERY appreciated.

First of all, if you don't know the basics, learn them. Next off, if you want to make a really good rpg, I suggest you dive into directX. I can't help you too much with that but check out the a1vbcode database. I know there is some DX stuff in there. Also, if you plan to do DX, consider a book as well. If you don't want to bother with DX, you can still make some really good games, just nothing really intense because it's VB:p. If you're starting your game now, plan it all out on paper. get your characters set up or whatever, and make a storyline. Thats the first thing to do. Check the past posts in this forum for more. Can't say to much more. Tell us more about what you know.

storyline - almost done

environment design - just started

 

I'm learning the code stuff at school and my teacher says I'll have enough skill to make the game when I finish yr11. I'll continue learning, but the things I want to know at the moment is how to open another form from one form and how to make a picture walk around a screen and then i need to know how to do collision detection. A slow and painfull process, but it will be done.
