In need of people to help make an MMORPG

Hello everybody I didnt know where to put this so I went ahead and put it here becuase ill need programmers.

Any way, Since we all know the Sythe MMORPG is never going to go anywhere I have decided to try and put together a team of people who would also enjoy trying to make a MMORPG. I myself have zero experience in programming but I do have a whole entire layout for the game if it would be developed, including a The World Map, The name of the game, Skills, Classes, City and Province Names, and The setting of the game. What i need from you guys is:

1 - A programmer to put everything together.

2 - A person who is good with scripting.

and I also want you guys to be imaganitive and you guys can tell me what you think about the skills and such and if you want to change it or anything.

We will use a 3D development program called 3DRAD, which is the most amazing program ive seen and makes everything alot easier.

Requirements:

1 - Commitment

2 - Knowledge

3 - Being skillful at C programming language

Remember guys this all just for fun and if it goes somewhere then thats great but if it doesnt, oh well, we'll try again later.

Keep an open mind about this.

Thanks

 

The funny part is you actually believe it's this simple.

"Oh hai guise, lets go make an MMO kk?"

 

Um I never said that buddy, if you would have read my post and not looked at it and thought I was an a idiot typing away, you would have noticed I said you would need alot of commitment. So if you arent going to help why dont you go away. Thanks, and by the way with the program im suggesting we use it is that easy, I just want some experienced help.

 

These things never work. You will need at least 10 very committed people who have tons of free time to just make a decently sucky game.

 

I think you missed my point completely. What I'm getting at is you're drastically underestimating the gravity of the task you want to complete.

Let's take a look at the things you listed, shall we?

#1: A programmer. Only one? Good luck finding someone with that kind of skill. There'd be less than one in over 9000.
#2: A person that is good with scripting. Again, only one? And also, scripting of what? Quests? Background events? Battle systems? Each field requires a large amount of consideration.

My point still stands; your thought process is essentially 'hurr I'm going to try and make a game with minimal everything.'

You need a lot more than just a programmer and a scripter, trust me.

 

hey theres a free software called eclispe evolution 2.7 that you could use the make a mmorpg, not the best graphics best you can use ther forums to learn to script and its nto that hard (that is using sadscript, the program uses sadscript) i was working on one but gave up after getting bored but i was trying to make a whole mmorpg by myself :\

OP is being a little too ambitious and not thinking realistically I believe, but I also like people being willing to take a stab at things.

Now I just want to throw out there that I used to know a php programmer that managed to make a 'decently sucky ' game and people actually enjoyed it. Now the guy I knew was going to college and learning about other computer related things while trying to host the game.

The problem is that the guy didn't seem to put enough time into the game he had created when it seemed to me he actually had enough positive feed back from peoplet o continue. He would play video games on Xbox or something instead of spending his every waking moment of free time to take his game and keep improving it more and more.

See he was at the point where he was breaking even with what the game cost to host and how much he was making off ad revenue. He could have improved it so much with not a whole lot of effort in my opinion, but it seemed like he had just lost his passion for the project so t ended up daying.

So - put in a bunch of time, manage to make something half way decent and you could very well bulid yourself a small little community for your game that happen to enjoy it quite a bit. If you can get yourself to the point where you are breaking even or even gaining some money (I believe that guy could've it he put his work in) then you're getting to learn some various languages and what the consumer wants without losing money.

 

The amount of PHP knowledge required to make a fully functional MUD is extraordinary. There's things that you use in MUDs that most people will never hear of when using PHP. OOP is required (stfu Stephen) to make something even somewhat workable with.

It took me two days to write: login, register, forgotten pass, jobs, training, and various call functions... That's not 'two days, 8 hours' that's '48 hours straight'. >.>... And it's still not even remotely great, and is buggy as hell.

Putting time into it isn't what's difficult, keeping your brain from deflating from the sheer logic required to make everything work properly, the amount of mathematics...

It's impossible to say 'it just takes time and commitment' when you're on the verge of being brain dead >.>.

MMOs are easy, nonetheless, for people who are very knowledgeable, and capable. But I've been learning/practicing web developing for the past 2 years... And only recently did I make something actually very advanced.

Swan's right though, if you wanna make something worth while, you need a team... Even if it's a MUD, you still need a team... especially if you don't know anything yourself.

 

sorry but lol my pants of plox cakes?

you realise that the development of games such as guild wars 2 took around 5 years from theory to beta? with a very large budget and an army of asia's best?

you in way over your head :Z

 

Dude, learn how to program first.

Your ignorance is proven in your first post, for example, you think that it is wise to use C to make an MMO, also, you referred to programming as scripting.

The entire layout? Who cares? That's like 0.1% of workload and something that anyone can do.

No one would be stupid enough to team up with you to make an MMO (you have no programming experience!) because they'd be doing all the work and you'd just be like "HAI GUIZE IM DOING THE DESIGN". Go and learn a programming language for a few years.

 

Locked to the above moronic post.
