I was thinking about taking on an rpg project in Java from scratch but I have never tried doing much in the way of Java games. It’s not going to be very graphically intense; it is going to be 2-D and I want to use a style similar to the older, tile-based RPGs. I was wondering if there were any useful tools that anyone thinks may help.
Currently, I only have Eclipse and NetBeans; any input/suggestions are appreciated! Thank you!
