I can't beleive no one here has said anything about Elysium.
Elysium is a older game maker that recently has made a big comeback as an easy, but completely customizable game maker. It uses Visual Basic 6 coding, along with simple BMP graphics files and tilesets. It is a 2D gamemaker, but good 2D. A standard game would be about 100-200MBs big with it (client) And the server 20-40MBs. Although one of the main catches is that you need a good host to run this. It uses up bandwidth like crazy (Unless you convert it to IOCP instead of its native packet system) There are actually several different companies/organizations creating engines out of it here are the ones I know of: Elysium (Well known for Diamond): http://splamm.com/elysium/ Eclipse (This version isn't opensource, and doesn't have good rep with other makers): www.touchofdeathproductions.com/ Elysium Blue (Converge with Greentail): http://www.thefmp.com/elysium/ And for those who are wondering, Elysium's definition is: "the abode of the blessed after death in classical mythology" or: "paradise" |

Oh, I used Elysium time ago. It was boring and it was most-likely a dead community which I didn't get, and the games where really odd. O.o;
Despite the fact it didn't work well for me, it was a bit ok, but I'd rather recommend a web search on another kind of program. Elysium bored me to death. :S Never thought of making a thread about it. |
