Ever fancied creating your own game, but didn’t have the programming knowledge or artistic ability to do so? Well, if First Person Shooters are your thing, then the FPS Creator package from The Game Creators, makers of the well known PC programming language Dark BASIC, could be right up your street.

This clever program allows you to create your own custom FPS games and features a realtime 3D level editor allowing you to piece together your own levels quickly and easily without a single line of code! The game engine even features a full physics system and is multiplayer, so the games you create could even compare favourably to professionally developed game. If you want to dig a little deeper, the game has a built in state based scripting language which allows you to customise pretty much anything you can think of.

The package comes with 800 3D models covering World War 2 and Sci-Fi themes, allowing you to get started straight away, although you can also import your own graphics if you wish.

Best of all though is that any games you develop with the system are yours to do with as you wish, meaning you can give them away free to friends or even sell them and make yourself some cash! The full source code for the engine is also available so you can delve in and make more low-level changes too, if you so wish.

FPS Creator is available now for the bargain price of just 29.99 GBP ($49.99 US), so if you’re a budding John Carmack why not give it a go?
