How To Make a Free RPG Game
RPGs are a genre of video games that has roots in traditional American table-top games such as Dungeons and Dragons. RPGs commonly feature stat-based gameplay, heavy emphasis on character customization and turn-based battles, though variations on the genre have become increasingly popular, with RPG elements now often appearing in first-person shooters and action games such as Bioshock, Dead Rising and Fallout 3. While RPGs generally feature extensive development time and sky-high budgets, simpler entries in the genre can be constructed by anyone with access to a PC and the RPG Maker program.
