SRL Archive - Java Help and Tutorials

Hey to anyone interested, i am thinking about embarking on a project to create an mmorpg in Java. I personally am inexperienced with 3D Java, so i intend to make it text based. Unless a participant who is adequate in 3D Java is willing to help me with its concepts. Game is open for any suggestions including storyline, content, name, etc.. if you would like to team-up with me you can contact me here.

Thanks, I hope to get a good crew together, and I hope this will be a good learning experience for all participants.

What is the MMORPG gonna be about?

Nothing is really set in stone yet, hoping to get a crew together to layout the games basics. I'm assuming it will probably have medieval traits and skills. Different equipments/weapon types and classes, but really it's all up for discussion.

[off-topic]; sorry about this, but how/where did you learn Java. I am trying to pick it up and I need to know where to start. :D.

Sounds awesome. But to bad im not any good at Java, MySQL or PHP :(

I guess it's a nice idea.. But fact is that tons of people must've dreamed of making a MMORPG, or have started a project like this that has failed as it's obviously not easy to make a MMORPG, so I kind of doubt this project will go anywhere… One reason is that only the graphics for a MASSIVE RPG would take a huge effort from a small team, unless you manage to gather alot of people.. And to make it massive and multiplayer you'll need nice graphics, good gameplay, etc. because people can be picky with games these days… And you'll need some good servers or so too to make the game playable online.

I don't mean anything above in a bad way at all, just being realistic about this..

Nevertheless, good luck.

I guess I was mis-leading when I said MMORPG. I didn't really mean massive, but a small game playable online in a multiplayer environment. There are no plans to make this game great, but a fun little project. The graphics are by no means going to be superb, and the game will definately not draw huge interest. but if anyone (who has the time) is interested in a fun project, then glad to have you aboard.




- I learned java in school.

i'd offer to help, but i havent actually done anything graphical at all in java. I dont know if i would actually be any help or be a hindrance, because of me being quite mediocre at java programming :p

wow i used some colorful language :)
