new game im trying to make

wiseowlstudios · October 2010

i have had a idea for a new mmorpg using what i learnt from other games and have made a basic image and documents with things like skills classes etc and was wondering what best wayto start it in developement stages or get funding to hire people since im not that great at drawing or programming at the moment

at this point if i can get it of the ground to basic online game would be good or have the models and artwork made

anyone think they know what best way to start my project is since i think could become the next warcraft (only at this point im going for f2p with item mall)

Overview

You should head over to the developer forums here, Im sure theres plenty of people and projects that can help you cause.

If your novice, try XNA game studio. its really quick to get something up and running. your probably gona need external help with designing a network system for your mmorpg.
