Hello guys , I'm Raymond Macario. I'm 15 years old so this is my birthday so now I'm 16 years old right now.

I want to start asking question. Let start ask now.

What program can I use to make mmo online games?

What program do I have to use to design character to moving around, killing monster, flying, stuff like that?

What program do I have to use to design graphic landscape for character to walk on.

What program do I have to use to make face look like people and body like people and clothes like people and stuff like that?

WHERE do I buy a program to make my own games?

PLEASE Answer!!!!

Blah

    there is more to it then just progamming. you have to have graphic desginers and you need to know how to code and stuff if you want to learn how to make a game go to school that teaches you how..... and its really hard to make an MMO.

    To create a CGI (computer generated image), I suggest using Maya. Although, it requires lots of trainning before getting anywhere, I suggest you find a cheaper program.

    Head over to cgtalk.com, that forum will get you somewhere.

    I would suggest getting more mature and a decent education before you decide to ask questions like that.

    Yeah... to make an MMO of any kind, you need to know how to MAKE programs to do those things, not find them. If you're looking for a programming language, then it's a bit better, and I'd suggest visual basic to learn, and once you master that, try C++, java, or something similar.

    If you are planning to master every aspect of making a video game, be prepared to put years and years into just mastering the skills alone. And many more years to make the game.

    When I was a bit younger I thought it was all fun and games to make video games, but then found out the true story that it's hard repetative work.

    Aye, especially the programming part itself. You'll spend hours upon hours looking at text for miniscule typos you made 3 weeks ago, or trying to add new parts without making your program reminiscent of Frankenstein.

    I evaluated my options like you are doing now and it just isnt worth your time mate. You will end up with either some generic piece of crap dev kit or a bugged engine you made yourself. When programmers get together as a company they share their knowledge and help each other out - not help out people on the internet, hence you'd be so alone that youd jus end up with something as bad as planeside if youre lucky.

    But anyway, if you still insist, Dark Basic Pro was what I concluded to be the easiest engine to use to produce  fast results without having to learn the intracacious of opengl programming in c++. It uses a form of pascal which is a very easy language to learn, much like the written word. Thats your game engine, you can code on top of that and you'll need to model everything in-game (I concluded that GameSpacewas the best prog to use). You can use any old editor for sounds (like GoldWav) and I think dark basic comes with an installer wizard kit.

    I cannot stress enough how much time you will waste that you could have spent playing a fun mmo.

    woops the site had an error for me. but anyways microsoft just released a program for future game creators like yourself i insist you buy it but first off the program will help create a game for the xbox 360 after you get some ideas on how the program works try to find a way around it to make it work on computers instead of the 360. for a good graphics engine i would suggest the unreal engine it has given support to many good games such as F.E.A.R. and the new game UT2007 which isnt realeased yet but you get the idea. the microsoft program costs around $100 and the unreal engine costs around $500 to $800 but i suggest you go to college first because there you will learn more on programing and graphics designing. good luck!

       Get NWN and make your own world thanks, if you suceed move on to better things, if you fail stay away from making mmorpgs lol.

    It's better be hated for who you are, than loved for who you aren't.

    Nice to see an answer that is actually helpful :0)

    If you are looking to do the modeling, graphic or animations. Maya and Milkshape offer some free products for the community to use. There are some limitations to these of course since they are not of commercial grade but they'll do to learn. Hell even google has a tool, there are plenty of others like Blender and wings as well. Modeling animation and other graphics are not easy either. They may be more creative in some aspects then just being a code fool but they normally are much easier to learn especially if you are apt at drawing and art.

    3 hours to draw a boot last night, also says something about the monotany of modelling as well. Sometimes you can go over board on things with detail and need to take a step back away from the project. I imagine coders can be the same way, but i'm not a code monkey, i'm lucky enough to be able to get my scripting to work.

    if you learn c++ you will be ready to go to a gameing company

    Get a book. It's called C++ and OpenGL. Google it.

    unrealtournament gives the game engine for free with it,as does serious sam if i'm not mistaking.

    then google for stuff like unrealtournamentskins/meshs/textures/mapping/animation, should be a ton of stuff to read over if you look through these.Also the majority were using 3D studio max at one time but i would bet there is alot more choices now.

    Alot of stuff for the unreal engine can be done on outside programs then imported into the game.C++ is a handy language.

    Never forget 3 mile Island and never trust a government official or company spokesman.

    start with modding a game.  Im sure you understand that term, but if not counter strike is a mod to half life.  Once you learn to mod well you will have the overall idea of how to create your own game.  You will need a programming language.  At the moment I suggest C++ or C#. 

    You can pay for a single college course that is part of the MSDNA and get a free copy of visual studios full version and learn the basic "hello world" programming in C++ or C#

    I am a game developer and AI Lead Programmer in the games company I work for. Even though there are MMORPG Builders out there, my advise is this:

    1) Please post in another font ^^. This is far to big for my eyes on a monday morning ::::06::

    2) Study c++ & games design, not at home, but proper. Become a qualified programmer. There are too many home coders out there making incredible bad games already.

    3) While you study, write small offline games first. Then andvance to browser click games so you get a feel for network programming, then start making small graphical online games for up to 6 - 8 people and so on.

    4) When you finished studying, then apply to start at a game developing firm. Use your home made games as part of your application.


    In this way you will learn so much more than just using one of those editors and you be working on real games in the end.
