- 1). Design your game world. Determine the world you wish to set your RPG in, such as space or medieval times. Design your main character and the types of traits he will need, such as magic or fighting skill points.
- 2). Write your RPG story. Write all of the missions your character must accomplish to form a progression. White any dialogue you wish to include in your RPG. For story ideas, play other RPG games.
- 3). Open Flash by double-clicking on the icon. Draw your character using the brush tool. Click on the brush tool and draw by moving the mouse. For an easier time drawing, use a tablet. A tablet allows you to draw using a pen.
- 4). Create a new layer by right-clicking on the timeline and scrolling to "New Layer." Draw the background in this layer, using the brush tools. Repeat this process for any other elements in your game, such as additional characters or props. Create a new layer for each item.
- 5). Create a programming layer. Right-click on the timeline and scroll to "New Layer." Create a keyframe in this layer by pressing the "F5" key. Add programming in this layer. For example enter "good = 100;" to add hp. Add another keyframe and enter the code "stop (); if (_root.good < 0) {gotoAndStop("lose"); }" to make it so that you lose a fight when your character's hp drops to zero.
- 6). Create a new keyframe by pressing "F5." Add additional programming, as desired. Programming will vary wildly depending on the type of RPG you wish to make.
