Game engine?

phandentium · 04-05-2006, 06:48 PM

I posted this in the gaming section and I thought it would be better to post it here.

I have came up with the idea of making an FPS game. Though I dont know which game engine to use I need one that supports Mac, Windows, and Linux. The game would have single player (Storyline) and multiplayer. The game is going to have a huge enviroment.

I was thinking about the Quake 2 engine but I decided to ask someone about what engine to use. Please tell me what game engine you would reccomend.

Oh yeah, and the engine has to be free.

Making a game isn't a one-kid job, especially if you don't have programming and modelling experience. How about start making mods for existing games.

Game design is not as easy as kids think it is.

I have more than one person working on it.

most commercial games has hundreds of people working on it..

unless of course, you can think up of a brand new playing style.. then you can make whatever you want..

I dont know / or care how long it will take. Though I am thinking about just doing a small single player mode.
