RDK | FPS Creator Classic

You should make old games! Stop doing modern graphics! Rays were not meant to be traced. They have played us for fools! The children yearn for the instagib arena. Let them frag! Creativity through constraint! The coolest people are making pixel art! You can make a GameBoy game! Try building with BUILD! We all know that computer graphics peaked with Adventure. Try MineTest! Wait, you're still reading these?! Basically, just try BASIC! Sorry the updates are slow, I'm still addicted to Dungeon Crawl Stone Soup! Pour your heart and soul into a glorious disaster of spaghetti code and dreams! Trans rights! Anyone can make games - yes, especially you! Game-Maker is the root of many incredible projects, like Undertale and Spelunky! DOS games are still cool, even seeing a growing renaissance! I don't use Arch, btw. Love the wiki though! Making mods is a great way to learn new skills! Need inspiration? Go wander Itch.io! Ditch the corporate internet, join the fediverse! Want to try some Rust game dev? The Veloren team welcomes new contributors! Guybrush Threepwood? Would. I'm running to the store real quick, anybody need anything? If you disrespect the robots.txt, I'll break into your house and eat all your peanut butter. Ok seriously I'm out of dumb marquee ideas. Go read the rest of the site. I'll figure out how to Rickroll you, you patient, curious stranger... ...That's not a threat, that's a promise!

Overview

FPS Creator is a drag-and-drop scripting-focused engine meant to empower developers to create a first-person shooter faster than you can say "does it have exploding barrels?"

Although it's been out of active development for years, The Game Creators have released its source code (for personal compilation only) and the entire set of premade assets for free on Github. The community-made BlackIceMod extends FPSC's capabilities with key modern elements like uncapped framerates and other optimizations.
