I guess you don't know any good a animation programs? x'3

Oh, oops, I made my last comment with programs that aren't free! Honestly, nope. I don't know of any good, free programs. I guess the best free game design software is RPG Maker (Depends on which version really! It's a pretty versatile engine considering it's free. You can make all sorts of games on it, though you're limited graphically).

Legend of Queen Opala was made with RPG Maker. And that game was awesome sex adventure. x3
A platform style game would be awesome when gets to know system. A simple animation would be easier to do at first.

There's a ton of good, sex adventure games that can be made with that, haha! What were you planning to do with it anyways?

A platform style game design? Well, there is a game design software called Construct 2 on Steam. You can use it for free, but you won't have complete freedom with it since you're not buying it XD Lol.

Here you go if you don't have Steam: http://www.scirra.com/construct2/free-edition

Then what about base Beat-em-up style games? Like Project X: Love Potion Disaster -beat-em-up game. :)

For Construct 2? I think you can work on something like that! Keep in mind though that this software is for online games that you can find on websites (It uses HTML5). If you're looking for one that doesn't have to be on a website to be played, this program probably isn't for you. Like I stated in the other comment I made, I can find what you're looking for. ^^ I just need some details on what you're trying to make. :O

xD Lol, maybe you should try to find a way to raise money for a good animation/game design program. I know plenty of peeps who do that.

I would buy a program, if I'm sure that it will work. :) My FlashDecompiler -program I buyed something 77€ or more. It was kinda useless if you cannot create a SWF. ^^; Only able edit other SWFs by change colors.

I'll look around for you if you like. ^^ Which one do you need the more? An animator or a game design software? O_O

And what kind of animator? 2D? As for Game Design Software, what are you trying to go for? I can look for something that fits to what you're looking for.

2D mostly, since 3D request more work. If start with base of animation, like make a sex animation. Fuck character different speeds and such. After learning more I could seek to make bigger SWF. :)

Adobe Flash is something most people go with traditionally. I've used it before and it's a good, powerful software if put in the right hands, but it has a deep learning curve. It takes a while to make everything move quite smoothly. Alternatively, Toon Boom is a good product to go to. It has less of a learning curve.


Err, are you looking to do hand-made animations? Here's a few free one if you're looking for that, though I would imagine that being quite difficult to handle: http://monkeyjam.org/ and http://www.pencil-animation.org/

Oletko kokeillut tuota Adobe Flash CS4 Portablea Windows XP -yhteensopivuustilassa? Se saattaa toimia siinä.

Yritystä on ollut menneisyydessä. Enpä oo jälkeen yritelyt. Multa löytyy Windows XP:stä ( Service pack 2 ) ja ( Service pack 3 ) muodot.
Käynnistys päättyy Sovellusvirheseen: Sovellusta ei voitu käynnistää oikein (0xc00000fd). Sulje sovellus valitsemalla OK.
En oo varma että onko ohjelmassa vikaa tai sitten mulla ei ole konessa yhteensopvia osia.

Toon boom pro 2 or Anime studio 8 pro

Thanks man ! :D

Assuming you have no background in Coding and want to make a Platformer: Stencyl. It is not "The Best" but it is the easiest. (This was hailed to be the successor to flash games, but also mocked as being complete shit.)

Other options that involve a degree of coding and hard work are; Unreal Development Kit, Unity (Not to be confused with Linux) and Valve Source. All have there flaws and perks, if you want to be commercial (ie. make a profit) don't use UDK.

I would avoid RPG Maker, if that is your thing; Learn a programming language and make it as opposed to using the Maker. Pygame (Based on Python) is pretty neat for such tasks and can be versatile. If you'd like to go down the programming route (Particularly if you want to add novel features, or to better understand a particular game engines): http://www.starterleague.com/ From this point you'll learn 'the basics' and probably have an idea of what could be suitable; grab PDFs or get books.

My advice is exclusively on Game Design, didn't realize you wanted stuff on animation.

In that area, I'd advise picking up the book "The Animator's Survival Guide" Richard Williams (or any preferred book on animation.), but Toonboom would be well-invested in looking into for software; for 'free' software: Pencil, ktoon, and synfig, may or may not have ports to windows.

No I hadn't background in coding, sorry. ^^; Try get started with something.

Thanks for tip. :)

i am not good with animation :( so sorry....:(

That's okay. :)

if you say so....i still feel not good cause i cant help you.....then i want to help.....:(

You can help by giving a ideas for it. xD About who you like to see and what to do.

well, your characters or any characters? :D

Well my characters I mean. x3

well like someone commented, maybe a WW2 game or something XD

I would like to could help you, but actualy this is a subject then I don't have much credits about...
Just talking about my own experience, I tried making game with OpenBor e RPG Maker, but I wouldn't suggest you any of them for make a platform game...

OpenBor is for make old style fighting sidescrolling game, like 'Street of rage' and all the popular old style beat'em up, but it takes some time to learn how to make it work properly, and is kinda limited in option about give your own personality to your game.

RPG Maker is kinda easy to use at least if you stick with it own rules and option, and could be pretty satisfing, but if you want to do something else then what the game have to offer you as basic, you have to mess around with his event functions and such, or could also have to deal with it's own programmation lenguage which isn't exactly the most simple one.

And after all, you are asking about animation and game, not just about game. Even if, sure, those program above have some features to make some short 'animation', them are all game related, nothing even close to make a real animation video or such.

Thanks for tips. :) That OpenBor sounds promising.

Please tell me I'm not the only one seeing a WWII strategy game on furry sex right now. I think that would be so much fun to play.

It would be awesome. :) Moving on WWII map and engage enemy with sex. >w<

Alas, I wish to help but all I know is RPG Maker (it's free for 30 days but then you gotta pay and it's limited to sprite games, though some of which can be found on here, such as HummingBird's work) and Mugen. Mugen, however, can be used for 2D acrade like GIFs. But er... You kinda need to draw every sprite yourself, animate it all, script it all... I mean, it's a lot of work. ._.

Sorry I can't be of any more help, still looking for a good free program myself.

Drawing everything is be interesting part. :) After that animate it. Those 30 days free program are kinda lame since you can't use them limitless time. :p

Well Mugen is 100% free. I can give you the Fighter Factory Classic link if you wish. :) It confuses me greatly and I believe I lack the required goods to use it (you need a certain format which I don't have) but it's only 6MB download and completely free. Say the word and I'll leave the link in the next comment. ^^

flash-like programs:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Synfig

visual novel making:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ren%27Py
http://www.visualnovelty.com/ (think i linked this to you before)

you could practice making games with the visual novel programs and do animation separate, and then put the two together!

Thanks ! :D

Mugen is really great, I agree with Wolf-Hiding-In-Covers or whatever. The wolf is totally accurate on it. You do have to draw things, and the animation is, like classic things, generally a couple frames.. But people have dome some really cool stuff with it.

Indeed. :)
