I am a developer and author with Lynda/Digital Tutorals/PluralSight. My latest work is a multiplayer server for unity that runs on NodeJs and I am building it up to have MMO support.
I also just got myself an Oculus Gear VR. I was thinking of making an MMO for VR. What are your thoughts? I would be able to produce this fairly quickly if there was enough support and with assets from the asset store.
Are you asking if the video would be in demand? Anything that has info on making an MMO will be in demand. You do not know how many “How do I make an MMO” requests we get here.
If you are asking whether people will buy your game, you are probably asking at the wrong place. Although I imagine there are many who would love a VR MMO. I have had people ask us to do that, but until your videos are out, I have to say no.
Would you be able to get enough information packed into this tutorial that could literally step by step walk you through thousands of hours of work to make an MMO? That’s the only issue I see about this, MMO’s in my opinion at least are something you either know how to make or you don’t. Meaning you having already made networked games having experience, and unless you have that experience you will be lost outside of what is being shown to you in the videos, unless you’re just truly an exceptional learning. Now I mean would I personally be interested? No, not because I don’t think it’s interesting, but because I don’t want to target Networked games until I’m already established more than I am now. Servers ain’t cheap for a startup with 0 dollars lol. But do I think it could be in demand, yeah as Teila mentioned - MMO stuff is always in demand, and could potentially be a money machine as so many people learn how to code and think they an take on the world only to find out they can’t and must learn more. But just in my opinion - if you do decide to do it, make sure it stands out from the few free tutorials flying around out there.
