Hi I'm creating a game. I wanted to make a site for it where I could have a forum and a store. Is there anyone who knows where I could do this?

I've moved this thread to Commercial RPG Maker Discussion. Please be sure to post your threads in the correct forum next time. Thank you.


Have a read of the "How to Sell Your Game Bootcamp", pinned at the top of this forum.

Do you know at least HTML? You need this to code a website, otherwise you will have to use pre-made ones (like Wix iirc).

A lot of people use phpBB to set up a forum, but again you need a bit of knowledge on how to do that.

A store is not too difficult once you are registered as a vendor (use bmtmicro.com/), all you have to do is integrate to your website (with nifty buttons and all) the links BMTmicro will provide you with (ex: http://www.aldorlea.org/millennium5.php)

Hope these few lines will guide you a little bit in this big venture.

I myself use Weebly - no coding required. I'll be getting a domain later so this is temporary.

Check it out here to see if you like how it looks. http://thesecrettestament.weebly.com/

What is your budget?


I would register a domain for the game.


Depending on where you go, you could probably get it as low as $10 per year or less.


You can host your site anywhere (free or not), but having a good URL for your game is important.


Especially because you plan to have features such forums or even an e-commerce platform, free hosting websites would be less likely to help you there. However, if you want all for free (and building or licensing a payment system is not cheap), you may need to re-think your options.

Couple hours of work. Might use in my game as a secret find or something. Not sure. Fancy though no? :D
Holy stink, where have I been? Well, I started my temporary job this week. So less time to spend on game design... :(
Cartoonier cloud cover that better fits the art style, as well as (slightly) improved blending/fading... fading clouds when there are larger patterns is still somewhat abrupt for some reason.
Do you Find Tilesetting or Looking for Tilesets/Plugins more fun? Personally I like making my tileset for my Game (Cretaceous Park TM) xD
How many parameters is 'too many'??
