Sometime early next year I will be having a whole lot more spear time on my hands (due to staring shift rotation at work 2 weeks on and 2 weeks of) and I was thinking I'm gonna need a hobby and what better than trying to make something myself within my favorite guilty pleasure, and graphic/3d design and game making is something I always wanted to try my hand at.
so I have a few questions regarding engines and software, so I know what I should pick up and learn/practice before I jump into this for real.
at the time being, I think I will go for RPG Maker. Are there any disadvantages to doing this? I think I remember reading somewhere that the render/picture quality would be lower using that engine is that true?
I am planning to make more fo a ''game game'' than an interactive visual novel, I am planning on ''free roam'' RPG like game whit a medieval setting and a rebuild the town plot I want my game to be able to include skils levels, some basic combat some basic farming elements like planting crops and the like, as well as the ability collect use and store items and resources can I do all this whit Ren'py and is this a better alternative?
Rendering/3d modelmaking software
I have just gotten myself DAZ and am planning to use the next few weeks to learn the ropes of it is there anything significant I should know before I start or should I just jump straight into youtube tutorial land? do I need any other software? buy additional stuff for DAZ or can I find most of what I need for free? is there a better alternative?
I want to end up whit my own unique locking models should I start from scratch or can find an existing model and use it as a base and alter it to suit my desire?
I just really need I kick in the right direction so I know where to start
