Kaisuo, dont listen to these people
I'm here in your position, coding my own RPG, and using Max to do it
Sure, you can make a good game with these other tools, but unless you program all of it yourself it wont be the game you initialy wanted to make
I've been going at mine for a long time now (years), still writing the engine in my free time
Once the framework is down, I'm hoping that writing the actual game will be a lot quicker (framework is certaintly aimed towards that)
