Oh, and I don't know of any good free 3d engines that are directly designed for Java, but some of the big ones out there might have Java bindings (Irrlicht does for sure, but I don't know about Ogre or CrystalSpace). In the end, he comes back and says to us, "Remember how you guys said I would never make a MMORPG? Well here I am, the team of the Uber-Kool MMORPG, and our first demo is coming out in a week." He's attending CompSci courses at the local college, too. You'll get frustrated and depressed and eventually throw in the towel, maybe even forget programming altogether (whether you should or not is definitely a different matter).īut what about the one out of those million, you ask? Well, he's the smart one who decides, "I still want to make a MMORPG, but I see that I'll need to gain some experience first." He goes on to make a text adventure game, then a Pong clone, then a simple 2d action game, then a simple 3d navigational demo, then a simple 3d game, then branches out into networking and data management and algorithms. If you're a beginner, the place to start is not a MMORPG.
Planeshift is the only one I know of that's still going, probably because they managed to form a corporation and have a few individuals with good leadership and business sense. You don't hear about the other attempts - those made by individuals such as yourself, or cooperative community attempts. The games you buy on the shelf at Wal-Mart have taken large (in excess of 100 members) teams of professionals over a year to make - and even then, they rarely work perfectly. It involves multiple subsystems (graphics, networking, data management, gameplay, time coordination) working together on a grand scale to bring together hundreds to thousands of different players in different scenarios on wildly different machines. They have good reason to: a MMORPG is one of the most complex types of games on the market today. The fact of the matter is, a million and one people come through here every year with a statement almost identical to yours (I'm just getting started, and I'm going to create a MMORPG), and a million of them forget it.
