Is Irrlicht Engine suitable to make a RPG?

Post by sabino »

Hi all,
I want to start making open source games; my favourite kind of games are the RPGs.
Can I use Irrlicht to make a "First Person" Roly Playing Game?
Can I use 2d graphics to display "Health", "Fatigue", and the inventory?
Thank you! :D

Irrlicht is a rendering and input engine. You can pretty much make a game of any genre, the mechanics are up to how you program them.

There is even a rpg made with Irrlicht: http://www.gekkeijuonline.com/en/welcome/

But be warned that rpg's are not easy to make. It's usually better to start with a few small games to learn an engine (like a frogger, pacman, space invaders or something like that).
