I want to make a game for the classic Amiga.

[som99]

I love RPG's the most, I would love a new game like "Excelsior Phase Two", I love that angle and game style




Btw I love that game, not many have played or know about it, ive completed it at every class and own a genuine copy

[som99]

Dude.
Admit it. You're my long lost twinbrother

I loved that game.
Don't own a genuine copy, unfortunately. But from what little I remember of it, it was pretty darn good.

Another all-time favourite would be Ultima VI: The False Prophet. The fact that you could recruit a mouse (Sherry the Mouse, to be exact) into your lines of battle steeled soldiers made it all the more awesome.

Who knows I might be You are the first one who ive heard who also have played Excelsior!
It was good and quite big indeed with quite some dungeons to explore I must also agree that Ultima VI is a splendid game! I have played it a lot

We seem to share some of same taste

I am going to be complete honest with you guys, YOU HAVE THE SAME TASTE AS ME :d . This is MY FAVORITE STYLE GAME EVER and I am INTO RPG LIKE NO TOMORROW.
 
I will start plans on making a game like that screenshot. I will develop everything on paper (game concept, style, engine and coding on paper)...and work on it as soon as I get my hands on PureBasic within couple of months.
 
RPG it is!

Ahh! Yeah One more with our taste
I love that style also, I will look forward to see your progress! Good luck, and hope you get PureBasic asap, BTW you aint considering using AMOS?

The thing is I need to build two things:

1. Engine
2. Editor

Before actually making the game. The editor have to build and run in WB screen, I do not think AMOS will give me that. Also I need to access HD during game play mode such as loading map, save/load game and so on....

OK, tho I think it would be doable in AMOS pro, but do it as planned it will work out best for you

Everything is possible, I don't see why you couldn't do that with AMOS

Tho of course you shall do it your way

I have some questions to ask about AMOS Pro.
 
1) Where can I get the full version of AMOS Pro?
2) Does it come with examples and manual (PDF) in case I need to use them for help reference?
3) If I wish to post questions to help me using AMOS Pro is there a full active community with a forum I can post questions there?
4) Would I be able to develop Workbench application?
5) Could I access the hard drive, I/O functions to save/load while blitting sprite?
6) Is it an object oriented language allowing me to make classes and functions to be called anywhere in the program?
7) Is it a compiler or an interpreter?
 
If all of these questions are answered where the result makes me happy as it gives me all the tool I need to make my project then I will use AMOS instead.
 
Thanks in advance.

Rockersucke answered your questions, but as far as literature goes I must recommend the book Mastering Amiga AMOS by Phil South.
It's a good book for beginners (even non beginners), I have the revised edition myself, it's a good book, I do not have any PDF of it but it's worth buying.

As far as AMOS software goes I have Easy AMOS, AMOS the Creator, AMOS Pro, AMOS 3D, AMOS Compilers, AMOS Sprite X and AMOS TOME.
(got multiple versions of all of em and updates also).

If you want anything of it I can upload it on my webserver and give you a link
