MMORPG game Help

Hello, I basically want to learn to make a BASIC! MMORPG - Like, you gain XP from killing Bots, you have a sword, and different stuff.

I basically need a tutorial on that, but everything seems outdated… >.< I also need alot of Scripting, Weapons and such for FREE - I don’t have much money, so I cant be paying - Just wanna make a Basic Free Made MMORPG.

Hello ArminPasalic, and welcome to the Forums! :smile:

If you want to make a MMO I want to ask you a couple of questions:

1.How much programming,3D Modeling,game design knowledge do you have?

2.Do you have a team that you are working with?

3.Will you KEEP GOING with the project even if you enocunter some problems?

Now,about making a MMO(not the tutorials):

I’ve seen alot of threads about people that want to make a MMO.

First off,you should know that creating a MMO requires a team,and it usually takes years of developing.Just think how much programming,and modeling you have to do,even creating basic stuff

World of Warcraft has been in development for 10 years,before they released it to the public in 2004,just think how many people worked on that game(day by day).

Now,I don’t want to ruin your idea about making a MMO,everyone wants to make a MMO!Even I wanted to make one :smile:

Here are some tutorials that can get you started:

http://unity3d.com/support/resources/tutorials/3d-platform-game.html

This tutorial has basic stuff like animating a character,some AI,and other stuff in a platformer game.It’s useful in a MMO,and it teaches you the basic things.

TornadoTwins series of tutorials is about a simple worm game.It teaches you basic stuff in Javascript…It’s useful.

For more advanced stuff,asumming that you have enough programming knowledge you can take a look at:

It a series of tutorials(like 160 videos…OMG!),that can help you A LOT in making of an MMO.

http://forum.unity3d.com/threads/29015-UniKnowledge-entry-Unity-Networking-the-Zero-to-Hero-guide

For making the game ONLINE,you need to know some basic stuff about networking.And the links above is one of the best tutorials that teach you about Networking.

For 3D models:

You need to make an account first.Most of the 3D models have a price,but you can find FREE ones too.

You can also try the Unity Asset Store,there are some great stuff in there too.

Hope you will not give up in game developing(it’s fun)…even if you don’t succeed in making your MMO.

Good Luck,

P.S - Sorry for wall of text.

Hello, I have not yet team - I’m young, and would like learning the basic stuff - I might ask my best friend to form a team together, we got a name too - But, we need money though - But we arent old enough for making a company and such, but if its the dream I have of becoming a game devolper then work must be done. :slight_smile:

I’m not really looking into TOO MUCH MMORPG games - Since its hard to make cause its a Sandbox game. But, FPS/HackandSlash games is rather easier if you create small worlds.

Those tutorials that I showed you are really useful for FPS/HacknSlash.
After you get some knowledge of the basic stuff,you can combine the tutorials together and make the type of game you want.

I’m still following the BurgZergArcade tutorials on youtube,they are really great!

You don’t need a company to make a game,neither me.A good casual game can be created by only one person and still have succes :smile:

If you want any help,just PM and I’ll respond as fast as I can,

o the i want to make a mmo thread :wink: 2nd one ive seen today! lol

armin, you may get some people that are going to be rude along the way just because you said u want to make an MMO with little to no experience, so dont take anything to heart! lol its better to just say what you want to figure out without mentioning your interested in an MMO, youll get more serious help

with that said theres really no such thing as a “basic” MMO, instead of planning on making one start to finished (even tho that would be awesome! lol) id recommend learning smaller aspects of making one, like how to deal with health/ weapons, or even getting a character to move and animate

a lot of this requires a lot of hours and hard work by people who take their craft very professionally, so dont expect TO much for free, not many people are just going to hand you their work.

if i were you i wouldnt worry about the MMO part, and just focus on the RPG, learn how to get a single character moving around, and when you click on a target it plays an attack animation (and there is even a lot that goes into just that), then go on from there

good luck!

There’s a Unity MMO class over on 3dbuzz.com that just started, but all spots are filled, but I think you can queue up for it when someone leaves.
