help for my new game

Try Godot then. Free and works on low specs pc too.
And maybe you should try starting from some simple ideas to make.

maybe it needs some high graphics or something like that. It says "your computer does not supports openGL2.1, I don't know what it means.

[horusr]

Well, probably it is something about missing drivers.

[Gendgi]

Hmmm my comp is over 5 years old and run game maker studio just fine, but yeah I got it on a humble bundle for 1$.
Like mentioned before, maybe try something smaller for starters, also others have mentioned that AGS allows you to do the game you want, BUT you will need to research and actually "study" and read, and you seem to be like me.... LAZY lol so you want something that can make the game for you almost instantly and that is never going to happen
If you want to really make a game completely the way you want it, learn how to code yap its hard, I know.

Having made 50+ games myself there is virtually nothing you can't do with AGS if you go the correct way about it.

There have been many games made with ags that are pretty astounding to say the least.

Ags is mainly 2d but some 3d like games have been made.

Of course there are other engines that will produce the same effect but in a different way and the choice is yours.

Whatever engine you decide to use be prepared to learn about it inside and out and not to expect it to just appear out of thin air... you'll need enthusiasm and dedication....There are many resources here at ags to bring your game ideas to life.

There are no shortcuts..

Alright then, I started learning C++ 12 days ago and i know little about coding. but the main part is that is creating a constant background and a main walking background possible in AGS.

Like Snarky said several posts ago:

So a side-scrolling platformer.

Yeah, it's doable in AGS (check out Until I Have You and The Art of Dying, for example), but it requires relatively advanced scripting. If you're not an experienced coder, you're better off with a dedicated platforming engine (google "platformer engine").

The Art of Dying can be found here: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/forums/index.php?topic=49687
It's even open-source.

As for requiring OpenGL2.1, that's probably not a driver issue. It means your graphics hardware doesn't support it, so there's nothing you can do about that (short of getting a newer video card / laptop).

Amit, welcome to the forums and all, but PLEASE take a breath and slow down.

may be its not available now, both the links say 404 not found

Don't quote the entire post right above yours. There's a "Reply" button at the bottom.

You're right, agser.me is down. I found the compiled version of the Leia edition on my hard drive: https://mega.nz/#!5JBgCTLI!iZnav1Ua_mAxkax0Wua-SBnDr3CsSxzRt6snRScKgmg
I've also sent the author a PM about the links being dead.

[amit14]

thanks for that, i have downloaded it and will try it soon.
Yes, that's quite nice, i wanted to create something like that. I am removing the idea of a still background and will try to make a simple 1 level to test. however, it will take a lot of time.

[Danvzare]

Try Godot then. Free and works on low specs pc too.
And maybe you should try starting from some simple ideas to make.

There's also Engima. Which is basically a free opensource clone of Game Maker.
Also, doesn't Game Maker have a Lite version that you can use?

[amit14]

maybe i will work using AGS only.

[horusr]

Great choice!

DKH has put the current version of the game and the source on gamejolt: http://gamejolt.com/games/the-art-of-dying/21047
