C64 Game Creation Tools
Hi, I wondered if there are any good (preferable) Windows Tools for creating games on c64?.
I`m an Artist in real life, and an old C64 fan. When I discovered some wonderful tools here to create Graphics and sprites etc on PC, like "Spritepad", I thought that it would be quite a nice challenge to work within certain (graphical) limits of a computer like the 64. But thats 'Art' wise. I suck at programming.
Are there any tools to let you create games, without having to learn Assembler, or is the only way for me to just use SEUCK or Arcade Game Construction Kit?
I can`t seem to find that last one in the database here btw, has anyone experience with it?
Thanks

Not a Windows tool but a native C64 tool, there's also Garry Kitchen's GameMaker. Here is a site where you can find both the software as well as some games made with this tool.

Thanks. New about GK Gamemaker and this site. But for what i`ve read en tried myself , it`s very basic (with a very weird interface ).

I think there is something called 3d Construction Kit (but i only found the docs to it on csdb not the kit itself, though i think i have it on some of my converted disks).
Wasnt there also some construction kit for driller ?
I dont think you can use any selfmade gfx with these though. |

Of course it's here.. http://noname.c64.org/csdb/search/?seinsel=all&search=3d+const&..
that's the one which is based on Driller, Dark Side etc.
Doing a full game with this seems hard as there is afaik only Cyborg 2900 [3dck] as a custom made Freescape (name of the 3D system) game. |

Something is wrong with your search options, the link above should give you 10 entries of '3D Construction Kit', only one of them the mentioned docs.
You probably are in demo mode. |

On Lemon64 there was a feed dealing with programming 3d Construction Kit, a good how to, plus some links to some programmed games using the system. A slow system, but some cool info on using it for layout.

Rough's right. I didnt take into account that demo mode would also affect the searchresults. A hint "X Searchresults hidden because of mode X" here would be great. |

Thanks for the replies!
I was aware of the various 'game creation tools' that are native to the c64 (it was just 'Arcade game Construction-kit' I was unaware of, but somehow most people seem to be unfamiliar with it.)
But It seems that there are no real Windows-based c64 Game-creators (yet).
Maybe it is indeed a good idea to let the game-creation side of things in the hands of capable people. ;)
