I'm using 3D gamestudio, but there are programs you can download for free to make levels for it. It is nice that I can use quake 1 levels and quake 2 models with this program. (because there are free editors out there to make these things) Gamestudio will cost someone at least 50 dollars.

You have gimp, eh? And you said you don't have any great graphics programs? Let me show you something I did with GIMP

Gimp is a powerful program, and my weapon of choice . (Mainly because I can't afford Photoshop)

Sadly this won't be multiplayer (visit www.3dgamestudio.com and see why it isn't multiplayer) *snicker* (Or I could just tell you that I can't afford $1250)

This game will be third person (first person optional) The reason you don't see Jazz in those screenshots is because... well, I don't have a jazz model... the model that is running through those levels is some man with green hair who isn't wearing a shirt, and that certainly is not jazz.... funny... green hair, no shirt... sounds like jazz actually.
