I want to make a custom story...one day...BUT
Does the custom story maker come with the steam edition?

If not, where can I get it?

Would this be a good start to video game development to get some practice in, or would it be better to start smaller like with RPG Maker?

I feel like Coding is a HUGE reason why making anything video game related sucks major sacks of balls. Is this also true for the custom story maker and programs like RPG Maker?

Do I need to get A Machine For Pigs in order to get the bonus stuff for Custom Stories?

What I want is to make a story with custom made audio files for characters. Is this a difficult task all on it's own?

I wanted to make a sorta silly, kinda serious story (kind of a tribute to Markiplier involving Tiny Box Tim as a thank you for all he's done) with at least two endings, is this possible?

I want to make some canned animations, one where the character hurls a sword at a grunt only for it to harmlessly bounce off with the text explaining you're helpless popping up. Is this possible without involving a full conversion mod?

Is there anybody who would be willing to mentor me on this process? If so, please send a friend request. I could really use the help. As a wishful future developer myself, I wanted to do something to get my feet wet a little, but I don't know where to start without attending several years of college and massive amounts of money and stress. Would this give me some experience in my free time after work? I want to create, this is my dream, to create something for hundreds if not thousands of people to enjoy. That's why I want to start small. So I can start here or RPG Maker. These are programs I can most likely do in my free time.

The editor does not come with the steam edition, but can easily be applied to it. The creators have the link up and explaining how https://wiki.frictionalgames.com/hpl2/tools/start

Personally, if you are a absolute beginner in this, I wouldn't recommend starting with the Amnesia Custom Story Editor at all.

When it comes to coding, RPG Maker is very simple and friends I know with little to know experience in that area have managed to make little games. An Amnesia Custom Story however I find to be harder. This is a taste of what you can expect http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=160111977.


You do not need A Machine for Pigs to use the editor, but I'm not following by what you mean for "bonus stuff". Do you mean ripped models?


If you want to get your feet wet, RPG Maker is a start. If you want to get into making 3D models, animating, and working with a game engine, Blender is a free program you can use that you can buy very detailed books on how to use it or there are literally thousands of tutorials on youtube (and is where I started) as well as even DVDs you can buy on their website with lessons too. If you are still determined to use the Amnesia Editor, there are tutorials on youtube for that as well. Same with RPG Maker.


And just a heads up, a lot of the things you can learn taking a game development class, you can learn by looking online and dedicating a ton of time to it. You just got to have the drive and dive in.
