Have you ever played a great first person shooter and wished you could make your own 3D shooting games? Well now you can make your very own 3D first person shooter games without even writting one line of code!

It is a complete kit with everything you need to start putting your game togethor. There's no extra programs needed to make your game run. All you do is save your game as an executable file and DreamWave 3D does the rest.

I started this as an alternative to that expensive FPS program and Silent Walk will no longer be continued so I had do something. DreamWave 3D is currently beta stages but will be availabe for preorder soon.

The games you create are completley yours. You can sell them, give them away or share them with your friends, without ever needing to buy an expensive license!

Have fun!

  ~~~this game also comes with a starter game, to show you some of the elements this maker can do, to open it, open 'dream wave 3d.exe' and then goto file, and load, then click on the file~~~

do you support this Fps Maker?

I wouldn't pay for it. But it's nice.

I wonder when people will realize that DOOM's method of drawing the rooms and objects is potentially more powerful though.

I like it, but i'm not paying 8 dollars for something I could make in Game Maker with a little practice. Also, when one person buys it, I assure you they will make a torrent of it.

Have fun trying to get buyers. That same stuff can be easily done in GM.

Then again, this might not be as overpriced as that uxPython development software...

EDIT: This is even made in GM? We'll have fun with our decompilers!

okay I'm going to review this considering you're going to sell it.

First of all, considering it's a pay to use, the editor is awful. Not only is it limited to floors that doesn't allow you to place stuff whereever you want. All floor textures are the same, which is really akward and extremly limited. The editor also has alot of bugs, like when you put an object over another. It's also missing things like custom objects.

Speaking of the engine, it's incredibly slow. The response-time for jumping is like ½ a second, and half the times it doesn't even respond. Walking up stairs is really unsmooth. The shooting is horrible. The yellow dots doesn't even fly in the direction you want, if they even appear at all.

Basically what you're trying to make is FPSCreator, except more limited, slower and with a less appealing editor. I'd strongly recommend you didn't require anything for it until it gets a whole lot better. Yes I do realize this is a beta but I'm reviewing it as it is, not as what it's going to be.

If you are going to sell this, make it a lot better.

The first video exactly tells what to improve first. The usability. You apparently can't copy objects nor "paint" them - you have to add every single floor tile from the menu! Take a look at FPS Creator or Atmosphir. They have decent, if not good editors.

um no you dont.. thats an old video...


and this is in its beta stages.. I know theres alot to fix, i working on it... this isn't even in the free stages yet... I have alot to do...

@MechaBowser:
~you will be able to change the floor textures...
~I made the jumping take awhile to respond... AND you supposed to hold down the jump button
~and you not going to HAVE to pay for it, there will be a free version, and a Payable one (which will be alot better)
~Im going to make the guns more accurate...
~I know the stairs are unsmooth...
~and anyway, thanks for reveiwing it... I have alot to work on... I know..

@hohoo (again)
you decompiled my game?

these responses doesn't even making ****ing sense
both of them

there's no advantage to have any of them

well, then I could just take it out...

also I highly doubt this'll allow for any great modification. I'm expecting to see alot of games made using the default materials but different user-made levels.

Yeah, and have a nice lawsuit from Bungie for selling something with their copyrighted gun model from Halo.

am I selling it yet? no..... and Its not a model of it.. its sprite.. :P.....

ya, im going to change the gun.. I just wanted somehting there.. as a base for a gun...

No, but weren't you that one who was like "BWAHAHAHAHA IVE GOT AY GAY MAEKAH DECAWMPEELAH" in that desktop thread?

you didn't even read after it did u??? I found a java icon, and changed a gm game to that icon.. then made the name GM Decompilor for a joke 4 here.....

Anyways, as I was (not) saying, I already have the FPS Maker which I haven't used for ****, so.

I know. That's why I didn't say that you really do have one.
