a game where you are developing a MMO RPG

Hello,

what would you say about such a game idea?
How would you envision the gameplay?

LOL

Well, a Real Time Strategy game, indeed.

More details, please,

do you mean like managing a group of unskilled noobs ala sims, so they are learning and making the game?

an MMO RPG - has that been done before? :slight_smile:

To those who have spent last 5-10 years of their life inside a closed tank without internet and windows

Nikolay - We all know what an MMORPG is… they are joking with you.

It’s quite common on these forums (and many other game/development forums) for people to ask how to go about building their own MMORPG… It’s also a common feature of these people that they are generally clueless about game development and about how EXTREMELY difficult it is to undertake such a task.

As to what I’d say to such a “game idea”:

Firstly, you have no idea, all you said was you’d make an MMO RPG. What kind? Secondly, my advice would be to start out really small and make a simple working game prototype to see if you’d enjoy developing a game and that indeed you are capable of it.

I am not sure you got the title well. I am not asking about making MMO RPG game, I am asking about making sim where a player can develop a MMO RPG.

Would the simulation of making an MMO RPG also be an MMO ? Then you could have an MMORPG of making an MMORPG. That would be mega-awesome :slight_smile:

hehe, really it is quite an intresting idea actually :slight_smile:

Nikolay - Sorry, it seems I mis-read your post!

I like the idea, following something like the Tycoon/Theme X type approach I assume?

Haha, thanks for your ideas!

an MMORPG of making an MMORPG sounds like real life actually :slight_smile:

Hmmm… I like this idea! Would you play as a noob trying to make an MMO while learning the software of choice, or as a team that actually knows what they’re doing?

This topic reminds me of World of World of Warcraft for some reason.

There is a game like that, but I cannot recall it.

Sounds fun.

It could be a text adventure taking place in a forum. The nice thing is that the AI would be pretty simple to implement (random selection of 150 prepared answers :wink: ).

I could also think of a sequel where instead of developing the MMO, you’re keeping the MMO service alive. That would be a hardcore action game where you have to fix server downtimes and … defend yourself against hordes of zombies … er … players that run into your support office and try to kill you because they sucked at playing :wink:

Not really like Sims, more like Starcraft ^^

Units like :

  • Unrealistic Teens : they fire series of Q symbols.
    Special skill : Unrealistic Project. Turns enemy’s HQ and units to an unfinished state, leaving all your units at 75%.

  • Cloner : Shapeless blob that can transform into any asset from World of Warcraft during 20 sec. 3 min cooldown.
    Vulnerable to Lawyer units during that time, increasing the damage taken from them to 200%.

  • Lawyer : His presence slows enemy’s HQ development by 175%. 30 feet range. Lasts until he dies.
    Vulnerable to Corruption units.

  • well, you see :roll_eyes:

I think i will start indeed with a text quest, but then of course it will evolve into … MMO RPG about making MMO RPGs

yea I just watched it
not as cool as developing your own MMO PRG. Because playing you can hardly make any proft, but if you make your own game…
This is what my game gonna be about

If you write an MMORPG about making an MMORPG, can I go all meta and make an MMORPG about you creating your MMORPG making an MMORPG?

They allready made that game it’s called unity 3d and it’s free :slight_smile:

Hey, it’s funny, a game like this just popped on the appstore :slight_smile:
