As long as it works on 10.04 with NO intel chip, I will be happy! So will my friend, who would like to find something we both can do together given my limitations in brain capacity.

What silly beta thing? If you're referring to the one in the first post of this thread it is the beta version of the ENGINE. Read the post to check how to run games with it (as it's only V2.71 many newer games won't work).

So basically, it is a beta thing that might run games but won't create games. Here is the error message I get:

Adventure Game Studio for Mac
Main game file not found. This may be from a different AGS version, or the file may have got corrupted.

Silly me thought in Beta mode, I'd be able to create something.  :
And, as far as waiting for someone to step up to the plate? I've been waiting many years for a RPG game maker to be developed for mac that is freeware. Maybe with the unpopularity of PC right now, more people might step up start wanting to care about macs. However, I'd hate to hold my breathe. The problem with Ren'Py is that it really is a Visual Novel software whose tutorials are still in progress. I had this silly thought that something based on C type language, might be easier to learn because of the tutorials out there. And Stencyl, a JS based language has been in private beta testing mode for a very long time. Unfortunately, I have a friend on PC, and I'm on Mac. And, we thought it would be EASY to find a RPG game maker that works on BOTH systems! What a joke!


BTW, I did read one thread about how no one was getting the thing to work, and how Virtual machines, and some other software was needed (basically to run the PC version on a Mac, but they were supposedly talking about the Mac version.) And the person who mentioned taking this up again was NOT talking about MY Mac version. He was talking about the INtel chip which I do NOT have and CAN'T have in this computer because the MOBO is too old and doesn't support it! Sorry!

signing one stupid chick who needs to stop trying to find rpg game makers for a distcriminated against MAC that actually works on a PC too! It doesn't exist adn won't even exist until at least 2 full years have gone by. I've waited 12 years. I refuse to wait another 12 years!

I don't HAVE the engine. I only have the silly Beta thing that needs the Engine. And I have the audacity to actually believe I can make Mac games using AGS. Not yet can I. Not without the Game Engine.

How about someone being brilliant and actually giving a LINK to the Game Editor for Mac OS X?
Having the link to only the Beta is a bit silly if you can't use it because the Game Editor is needed and can't be found.

However, if the Game Editor, didn't work in the first place with Mac's or it was never ported in the first place for Macs and someone just simply jumped in the middle and made a useless Beta, then maybe the first post of this thread can be changed to indicate that and the link removed as being useless?

Thanks!

(My PC's have NEVER lasted longer than 1 yr. 3 months. This Mac 10.04 OS X is 7 years old and still ticking! Its my Dad's old on. Why I don't support MS yet. I can't afford their break-downable junk.)

I am a newbie who won't be posting much, as I'm a slow learner when it comes to game programming. However, I always wanted the ultimate RPG that no one seems to be making, so I decided I needed to learn how to create such a game myself. It just might take me a few years, but thats okay. What's the ultimate RPG? Role Playing "Harry Potter" meets "The Tomorrow People" (children's sci-fi show from the 70's - 90's from Thames Television). It won't be Harry Potter or the The Tomorrow People, but only inspired by them, but without the wars that Nintendo insists belongs in their games. Their Order of Phoenix for Nintendo DS is NOTHING like the PS2 version, which I never liked. So, I'll create the game myself.

My German is bad, but I do intend to learn it when I have some real time.
