Starting an Mmorpg

AgentMolder

Hello all,

          I Was wondering what programs do you need to create a very small mmorpg(5 people max). I know Java and I know the basics of C++.

Thanks for reading

Brush up on your Google skills. You'll need them - for this, and any other projects.

Wizardry

Use the unreal engine as it is free with the purchae of the game.Using google can find you all the different programs you can use with the engine.3D BUZZ is a pretty good site offering tutorials.I'm sure you can find something on uscript as well.

this is sorta off topic but its just the sort of thing I like to point out to people...


you want a small (massive) mmorpg for 5 people max (massive multiplayer)....

k just something i'd like to point out

but other than that have fun with your game!

A) code it in C++ if you dont make it multiplayer from the ground up first, go read more dev sites C) Make sure your design in solid first.  Gamasutras best for the average joe on that.

He was refering to the Dev team being a small 5-man group, that in no way reflects how "Massive" the playerbase will be.

My advice is to give up making mmorpgs untill you have a firm grasp of the programing language and API of choice.

Start making small single player games (five in a row or tetris in 2d with directx or opengl (look at a dx wrapper called Allegro if you want to make 2d games)) aiming far to high will only make you tired and give up on the project in the end.

How would that be an MMO if it could only host 5 people? You are aware the first two letters stand for 'massively multiplayer' aren't you? Quake would be more of an MMO than what you're planning.

Maybe it means "Minimal Multiplayer"

No offence ment but there cant be a 5 person mmorpg it would be a morpg a multi-player online role playing game

my first advise is actually learn your definitions.A 5 person RPG is a multiplayer RPG NOT a mmorpg(thus the word massively).
