Free game creation software

[Jubal]

What do people use/can people recommend on this front? Looking for things that are free to download and super easy that I might be able to get students to have a play around with.

[Tusky]

Unity or game maker studio free options are excellent

[Jubal]

Is unity really easy to use? I'd assumed it'd be way too big a learning curve for beginners...

[Tusky]

You have a point, I assumed a little ability to code.

Game maker is nice since you can do a lot just with dragging and dropping things

[Jubal]

Yeah, that's high on my list to look into for this. I'm very much wanting the most basic thing you can conceivably build an RPG in, essentially.

[Tusky]

I think that game maker or rpg maker will be your friends for that, then

[Jubal]

It looks like both of those now have time limited rather than just cut-down trial versions. This is very much rubbish for my purposes
