Any suggestions for making a game?

[dillo]

So I've taken a few C++ courses and I'm still pretty new to programming but I just wanted to ask a few things. I'm eventually looking to make a game and I wanted some suggestions on what engines and the like I should use. I'm planning on making it like and old style, high fantasy, turn based, Final Fantasy/Crono Trigger type of game. Nothing graphically amazing but still have all the customization you would expect from an RPG. Save points would be pretty important too. If anyone could weigh in on this it would be greatly appreciated.

What exactly are you expecting graphic wise?

Design the sprites your self and have a look at the game "Realm of the mad god" Get a open source, and build onto it.

Graphic wise I'm not looking for anything crazy. I'm just planning on it to look all 8bit/NES style.
