  • Summary: Over three years in development FPS Creator sets a new benchmark in the game creation market by providing an easy-to-use yet highly flexible editing environment. As its name implies this is a tool for creating action-packed FPS games with no programming or 3D modelling knowledge required. Using an intuitive and visual Windows interface you literally paint your game world into the scene. A vast range of 3D elements are included allowing you to paint hallways, corridors, gantries, walls, doors, access tunnels, ceilings, lifts, transporters, ladders and more. Segments intelligently attach themselves to each other - paint two corridor pieces side-by-side and they'll snap together seamlessly. Switch to 3D mode and you drop in on your scene for pixel perfect placement of 3D entities. Place a light-switch on the wall and it'll intelligently control the dynamic lighting in the room. Expand

  1. From creating title and menu screens, scripted even zones, Overall, FPS Creator is a fantastic must-have purchase for anyone who’s interested in what goes into making a game.
  2. Casual fans of the genre may want to think twice about the work that will be needed to create a game.
  3. Don't get me wrong though, even though the end product is useless, creating your own game is fantastic fun - just don't expect to become the next Carmack. If you want to do that, start learning binary now. [PC Zone]
  4. Good lord! This game wasn't created, it was excreted... Basically, you'd have more fun putting starved ferrets in a feedbag and strapping it to your crotch. [Jan 2006, p.46]

    Ok, I have read MANY reviews claiming this software is buggy, slow, and has very little customization. Here is the deal, you are basically programming a game, but with a very easy to use interface. If you don't have the umph in your computer, the program does act unstable, and slow. As for the customization, as long as you read the manual and work with the object scripts, you can produce a serious FPS. For those who want to use this product, my recommmendation is at least a 2 GHz processor, about 1 GB of RAM, and a hefty video card - I am using an nVidia GeForce FX 6600 with 256 on the board. The program worked fast, and made a killer sample level that I developed. The game performed like a dream! Now, for those who complained, I tried the software on a slower computer - 1.2 GHz and 512 megs of ram with onboard Intel video with only 64 megs dedicated to it. The program was very slow and very buggy and crashed alot. Bottom Line is this: If you are interested in using this application, if you have some tough hardware, you can literally create the next best FPS Game. If you are lacking in computer power, you are not going to enjoy this experience - so don't try it. If you don't have the computer power, and it doesn't work for you, don't leave a bad comment - because if you have the right hardware, the program functions perfectly. Expand

    FPS creator, for being a click and build engine, was quite flexible, easy to use, and most of all, fun. I read a lot of pessimism, but with a mod to the engine, nome nice looking, high quality models, and some scripting talent, an experienced user can truly make something of current bargain bin commercial quality, or better. FPSC comes with a good bit of stock media, and while the quality of these aren't disgusting, they aren't of a quality level for a commercial game. Expand
