Making a MMO Isn't Easy

RetroMonster · March 2009

I've been working on making a new MMO game titled "Unveiled Planet." I started about two days ago and now I'm just about to go to sleep. I read a book on how long it takes to make a MMO by yourself, they said it takes up to a few years. You test for a few days then it you actually start to create the game.

I haven't slept in two days and I just woke up from a 15 hour nap. I really needed it. I'm just starting to work on a planet and the graphics. Graohics are awesome but it's costed a lot so far.

I posted this because I need some sugguestions. Your a martian, or human in this game. It's more of a Action/Adventure killing game. It's like halo except you have way better graphics and its way more awesome.

Any ideas?

This is in order by day.

Go for it. Sounds interesting so far, and if you have the experience to build it, and the resources, and the time, do it. MMO building is a great adventure, but very long and tiresome one. Good luck with this MMO!

Well of course it isn't easy. If it were easy, everyone and his neighbor's dog would do it, and then there would be almost as many MMOs as players to populate them. And then making an MMO with a decent playerbase still wouldn't be easy.

Good luck with making the MMO.

So like what is it gonna be all about? I know you kinda said it's martians and humans and like halo but can you let us know anymore about it?

A suggestion.... Create the game pencil & paper first so you know what you need to design for. A good design really will point you in the right direction and will keep you focused on what needs to be done.

As far as doing it all yourself --- thats a lot of work for one person if you are doing the design, graphics, coding and testing, (and whatever else comes with makin a game)
