I kind of want to get into making my own games, like 2d side scrollers mainly. Like Metroid or Abe's oddysee. I was just wondering if anyone knows where i could find a *possibly free* Abe's Oddysee/Exoddus game engine to build a game around. I think its possibly the best 2d side scroller ever.
Edit: Also i dont know how to do code, so if someone could point me in the right direction to learn that it would be great.
Paul is/was trying to decode the game a while ago, and has turned up a couple things so far, background editing is as far as we get, and sprite extraction that's all weirdy.
I don't know if this is what you're after but Fuzzle Guy has managed so far to create a very good Oddworld fan game using the game maker from Here.
