well is not an easy task, the c++ program would only help yiou o the programming part, you are going to need also 2d an 3d artists, game designers, pr ppl, music, and many things befora having anything, if you have created a game before then you mut know that you are going ot need a design document xplaining everything about the game and for a mmorpg then it must have like around 100 pages so you can start anything, if you have any talent i would suggest you join an already going development team so you can learn faster

And where am I supposed to find people for my MMORPG? Would you be willing to help? Or could you find me any people that should like to help me?

Kentaro · October 2003

I'd suggest you start with a simple game like tetris or a simple server/client chat program(or a MUD) if you haven't already. Or possibly a modification of a current 3d game. After doing them you'll get an idea of how hard game developement actually is.

Game design is by no means an easy task and it's all the more difficult doing it alone.

digitydarkman · October 2003

dead do you have any skills?? if not i would tell you its going to be a hard time, as me and my friends have tried before and its no easy task to make a game

you will need 3D Modellers, Programmers, Sound Artists, Texture Artists, and Map Designers, youll need to get an engine to run the program in also

Ohh Im So Scary... BOO

Odin1985 · October 2003

ok first of all dead, you must have an idea of what you want to do, and not like "dude i want to make a game like everquest" or i'm going to slap you; no kiding but really you must ahve a base of what you want to do, the best place to look for ppl are in game dev pages were you might get some help, second of all i'm not going to help you since i'm creating one, and i can´t find anyone that would help yousince i'm busy, you should frist try to be in other game development to see how that works there are several "developers" that are looking for ppl just look around, if you posted what you are good at it might be easier to all of us to help you

dead, can I join you? I'm learning C++ now
I know I'm a n00b , but I can learn alot of this.

BlueSin: The Broken World is still looking for devs, but then you should mainly learn C, cause that's what the client is going to be based on, server side are some discussions about, but it looks like it's going to be perl.

C isn't harder than C++, some ppl find it easier, some find it harder, but with some C++ knowledge C learning goes much easier, just check out our forums:

http://www.shadowgaming.net/forums/index.php

If you need any help on learning C, there is a link to my ftp on the forums, it aint fast, but it contains a lot of programming books, C.pdf is a very good one to start with.

In order to realy become a dev it isn't that hard as a programmer, just need to pm BlueSin that you want to sign up for the job and further information will be given.

Also more information about the game can be found on the forums a bit, if you got questions, ask them there.

Also I am planning to hold a meeting soon, cause just want to plan more and brainstorm on etc.

Hope you will like it

All working together might make things easier, if you want to make a game completely yours thats ok too with me, only united it can all go better.This game is gonna be 3D too so that is the same, further you didn't post any info about story line etc so can't judge on that if it would be the same.

hercules · October 2003

Second such post in less then a week .Intresting

acme22 · October 2003

Why did they choose for C and not C++ ?

none

Psycho_Stef · October 2003

Easier to learn for most people and something with easier to use with direct draw and direct x programming.Actually it all doesn't realy matter cause both can be learned in about the same rate, and if you learn C++ and then do a quick guide on C you will see that a lot is the same.But for an exact reason I guess you can best ask BlueSin himself, it doesn't realy matter to me cause I'm still doing more studying on both languages every day and sometimes C++ knowledge makes C much easier.

acme22 · October 2003

Some say C is better not to learn if you learn c++
and c++ is OO

Odin1985 · October 2003

c is like c++ but older and ppl don´t use c as much as c++ you might have more luck with c++

C is still 1 of the most comon languages used in education, since we aren't pro's or anything this is just the best I guess.About not learning C and C++ at a time, it doesn't realy matter as long as you remember not to use them at once, although it will compile in some occasions, it aint preferable.Further it aint realy that hard to keep it apart.

acme22 · October 2003

Ok, cool cause I know a little C

none

DeadEnd · October 2003

I should like to make a game all together! :-) That would be very cool, I am looking forward to the day already.. because I love being a leader of a game so I can probably become an admin and get bugs out of it and lead the game to victory!

Oh yes.. and about the game line I wanted to make it an MMORPG like Asheron's Call 2 ! www.Asheron'sCall2.com

There you should find all the information you need and you cna download the trial version of Asheron's Call 2 either.

acme22 · October 2003

Deadend

Want to start a game with me ?
I'm a n00b but I have some ideas....
We'll use C++, it'll be fun!

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE DeadEnd if your going to make a game like Ac2, then use the graphical aspects of the game and NOT the gameplay etc. Don't just make a different copy of Ac2 and slap a new name on it, or your game will bomb as did Ac2.

Just a tip.

Btw, if ya need any 2-d artists, i could help, im looking for anything right now to get my foot in the virtual door of the gaming world. I specialize in anime-style art.

I saw an angel of death come from the clouds one day, it touched my heart and smiled, then flew away, i felt my heart turn black and cold, and embraced this new power that i now hold

DeadEnd · October 2003

Well acme.. I should like to help only the first stuff we need to do is.. LEARN ME C++ ! Damn I have learned other stuff.. but not that! And than you need at least Higher profession school ! You can't do it with a normal one, the maths you need to learn damn it it's shitty I'll try but..

And another problem I don't have C++ and they only sell it in the USA and Canado and some other states around there! And I am from Holland.. Maybe you could try get me C++ ... I''ll seek somewhere to learn it! I promise...

Latraa m8 !

C++ Is just a language, you could even write it with pen and paper, compilers are free for download on the internet, like cygwin, or borland compilers.

DeadEnd · October 2003

My dad told me that C++ is something for making games.. but you need to be great at maths for it!

Can you *if that isn't true* please tell me what C++ and C now really is?

I would really appreciate it!

Latraa..

C and C++ are the most widely used languages in the software engineering industry. About 90% of the software you see on the shelves in stores in writen in C or C++. Why C and C++, there has been a lot of code written in C and C++ in the past, companies have stockpiles of code that they can pick at and use anytime in future projects. If they were to change to another language then they would not be able to use all that old code, they would have to write new code and that would be a waste of time and more importantly, money.

As for having to be really good in math for C++, that is not nesecarily true, though it does help. You can program in C++ all day and not have to be very skilled in math. The only time when tough math comes into play is when you have to use physics to create a real world in your fake world. I hate physics and everyone I know hates physics too, but you need it if you want to program a game.

DeadEnd · October 2003

Aha, I get it! So... it's just a computer language... hmmm... interesting... than I can talk with the computer! (just kidding)
LOL!

There is one thing I don't understand! For the best looking games you need better gamemake programs though, a gamemakers program is always same graphics quality though, you can't change the quality of it with some words, isn't that true? Or is it just easy to change the graphics of a game? Or don't I really get what it all means? <--- That's what I think.

Oh well thx for your help anyways and I am going to try it because I would love to see people play my game!

Latraa!

Your graphics engine is what determines how nice and smooth your game will look and run. Ever heard of the unreal or quake3 engine? They are graphics engines. They do all the nice nitty gritty things for you and allow you to concentrate on other trivial things when developing a game. Developing your own engine is very complicated and can even be the back breaker of your game.

By "gamemake programs", I would assume you mean something like level editors. Something you can place units and trees and buildings with. Well these programs are usually developed by the programmers making the team. Once you know what you are doing programming it isn't that hard. But seriously dude, sit down with a C++ book and learn it cover to cover without skipping the boring chapters and then do the same with a book on OpenGL. Come back in two years and then you can start to create games. Or I heard of some software being developed that is like a level editor type thing, and will allow you to make your own games and play them online with friends, but then your limited to what they supply you.
