So following the end of Draggexath's Dominion, I've been looking for alternative game making software. I've had a lot of people suggest Unity and Unreal but the problem is money, internet and hardware.
Yes, I could use Unreal or Unity to make my games it would be amazing for some of my ideas! Sadly there are issues:
1. My PC simply isn't good enough to run those engines at a optimal speed.
2. I don't know any coding and I have personal matters that simply don't give me the time to learn it.
3. I'm one developer, I work by myself with no help from anyone.
and 4. Money. I don't have a job due to disabilities, so when making games I need my own characters and such and I simply don't have the know how to make such things so I need to employ the help of others which runs up a good dime. Which requires donations as Draggexath's Dominion was made with the Free Trial of RPG Maker MZ I couldn't make it a paid game nor did I want to make it a paid game as it was more of a test game for me.
So what's the plan going forward? you may ask.
Honest answer I'm unsure, I want to keep making games but with no coding knowledge and no time to learn, no ability to make my own assets without money and also not a good PC to do much. I honestly just don't know.
I may have to end Lythessia Games all together.
Unless there was another way, I've been looking into alternatives that don't cost $80 for a license like a gameboy game maker, RPG Paper Maker on steam, etc.
They look slightly promising but I need to fiddle around more with them to be sure.
Until then just keep focused on the account as I will probably post more soon.
If you got any questions please feel free to ask!
