This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

I'm no great coder, but I have an itch to make a platformer game in the style of Warioland and Kirby and stuff like that. Does anyone have recommendations for a suitable tool and its use?

GameMaker or GameMaker Studio, the paid versions.
The free versions tend to have more or less disturbing drawbacks, sadly.
If anyone have any better suggestions, then I am interested, too.
I may not dislike D&D any longer, but I still dislike the Chaos-Lawful/Evil-Good alignment system, as well as the level system.
;)

It's a lot of program for what you need, but Unity 3d has been used to create "2d" games by restricting movement to two axes, and locking the camera to the character from the desired angle. It's 100% free as of the past few days for full functionality, and there are alot of good tutorials and some free code available to use.

The Mosaic Oracle is on sale now. It\'s a raw, open-sourced game design Toolk/Kit based on Lurianic Kabbalah and Lambda Calculus that uses English key words to build statements. If you can tell stories, you can make it work. It fits on one page. Wait for future games if you want something basic; an implementation called Wonders and Worldlings is coming soon.
