Game Engine for RPG

[markleung]

Hello,

I am developing an offline 3D RPG for Windows and am currently shopping for a game engine at the moment. My budget is $5,000-$30,000.

I am looking at Jupiter Engine (an FPS-oriented engine) at the moment. Any other recommendations?

Thanks.

Get a decent engine, you can normally get a royalty deal, 20-25%

Don't 'buy' an engine up front. Or better still use an open source one, look at the engines database for loads.
