video game software help
03:50:48 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Sanoh:

hey i am interested in creating my own video game. im wanting to make a MMORPG, but i know that it would be a while before i can make one. so i was wondering if anyone had any suggestions of a good software that i could get.


04:44:48 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Fitesalot:

 Bwwahahaha, it takes full design teams sponsored by large companies to make those MMORPGS. I have a cousin that works for Blizzard entertainment. If you're actually serious about it, you need to go to school and get a degree, and then you could get hired onto a team to work on one. It's basically impossible for one person to create an entire game without reusing a ridiculous amount of code (that the companies would probably not give to you).  Sorry if I burst your bubble :(

ouch

O_O

...woot? XD

 


13:16:12 Dec 5th 08 - VU Admin:

I would say start playing around with Flash. Then take some C++ or Java programming course. Also learn Photoshop and a 3d program like 3d studio max.


13:33:30 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Blood Fang:

Not gunna lie but,

Game design for dummies is actually really helpful book.


14:39:53 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Blast of Darkness:

i tried learning code once, one word....BORING! lol, i'd never be a game designer...Well unless I can just boss around  a team of programmers to make the game for me...But then I'd have to give them credit for 'some' of it...


23:09:11 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Sanoh:

alright thank you

@ Mr. Fitesalot, i know that it takes more than one person to make a game. i accually am having some of my friends help me with designing the game.


23:11:56 Dec 5th 08 - Mr. Demonsul:

You want game materials?

Wow, coincidence means I found a site for you...

I found it last week.

I just hope they know what they're doing, maybe I mis-interpreted what you were doing, but it sounded like you were taking on a project way over your head. what programming languages do you know? this stuff can be reaally tedious.


00:14:15 Dec 6th 08 - Master Cloutier:

Well I know this question was not for me but I know HTML, PHP, MYSQL, CSS, JAVA, ASP, and learning C++


00:15:58 Dec 6th 08 - Lord Wraith:

Why would you learn C++ after learning Java? ^.-


00:16:51 Dec 6th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

...because then he can claim to know C++ and Java?


00:19:45 Dec 6th 08 - Lord Wraith:

But its pointless. Java evolved from C# and C+....... (I may be mistaken, pretty sure though)


00:26:09 Dec 6th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

He obviously doesn't care for you opinion does he? :-p  Give up Shaun before he destroys you with superior knowledge....muahahhaa


00:55:26 Dec 6th 08 - Prince Validus Septim II:

Dang...I only know C. I think I've missed a bit of programming news...

XD


00:57:06 Dec 6th 08 - Lord Cedric Deallus:

I got an E for enthusiasm...

right now i know it would be way over my head. that is why im wanting to find some programs so that i could learn to make games and eventually make a MMORPG. right now i only know HTML

@Admin, how many people helped you create VU?


13:19:56 Dec 7th 08 - Duke Argyle:

@Fitesalot
I bet zeta didn't have a big company behind him when he made visual-utopia...


15:22:16 Dec 7th 08 - Mr. Sucker of Sheepschlong:

Sanoh, I think orinially, he made it with 3 other guys.


16:30:45 Dec 7th 08 - Sir Darkmarsbar:

im currently at college studying games development.

i have learnt how to use,3d max,flash,photoshop and some programming languages.

even after learning this it is still not an easy thing to make a good game.

 


17:13:30 Dec 7th 08 - Mr. Evul Fakir Pimp:

Creating the game concept and its functions is the easy part. Its utilising a solid gaming platform that is the expensive part. Also requires a very good kmowledge on server management, as this part can triple you games costs alone.

There are a few open source game engines out there, but again there stability varies by each type of game, and how well the architecture is built.
