Hello everyone,

I am Central_Plaza, I am a graphic designer, but I don't know much about game making. I really need someones help with what I am trying to do.

What I am trying to do is create a game, and the kind of game I am trying to create is a social networking game, meaning users can chat back and forth, explore places, go to different locations etc.. No GUNS!! But maybe some vehicles.

If anyone knows what I am trying to get at, please reply to this post beofre I purchase this Game Engine, I do not want to waste money and not be able to exicute my plan of a social network game.

If you want, google Playstation Home, that is what I am trying to re-create.

Without seeming rude, what would be the point? If second life, playstation home, IMvb or something and a whole host of other major games are already cashing in on what your after then what makes your idea different to theres?

And which game engine?

I'm making it similar, not exact. In playstation Home you cant jump, swim or drive vehicles. I am wanting to find a program that allows me to create this social networking game. I cant seem to find one, I was going to use Leadwerks or Realms Creator..

awww but guns would be sooo coool!

Plus a virtual world where you can kill your enemys would prevent real death in the real world =3 it can all be left in the game!

Baddie: Im gonna shoot you,,,,, as soon as i log in!
You : D:
Baddie: > *shoots and misses*
You : > *shoots and kills *
Baddie: (has to restart character) xD

I would play that for sure. I mean, you could gather all your friends to fight the other cliks in school! Goths vs. Preps, Jocks vs. Geeks, Heads vs. Marry Poppins Children (c'mon we all have like 5-10 in our school)


Joking aside, for a world like that, i think browser based would be your best bet.

Try unity3D or learn java from scratch.
If you want an extensive 3d application, then a regular app would be your route. Any programming language you feel comfortable in will do the job. Dark Basic Pro would be a good engine to prototype your game in, small scale testing and such. I personally wouldnt use dark basic for an mmo though. Maybe a small multiplayer fps could run on dark basic, but i havent seen alot of dark basics mmo or fps projects really come to life in the market. (and the market is what counts, it doesnt matter if you make the perfect game ever, if no one has it or wants it, its useless)

I am making thid for a bunch of friends anyways...12 Million friends.. LOL There is over 12 million PS3 users who want Playstation Home for the PC, so I am tryint to re-create the maps in that game in the new PC game, get it?

Do you think that Darkbasic would provide me with that?

I get it, but I don't think sony will get you. Besides you can do better than playstation home.

I gues you could, I'm not sure. Take a look at some of the multiplayer plugins. It's not going to be easy though.

Realm Crafter could be an option, it allready got the networking, the chatting and abillity to include clothes.

But you will probably win more in the long run if you code everything by yourself.

I just want something small, I have been looking at realm crafter, that is kind of what I am looking for, the ability to make clothes for people to buy and all. The only problem I am having is creating maps, I don't have the tools I need to create maps, is there a content creator or something? I need to make buildings such as sky scrapers and such, do I get all that in the full game after I buy it?

Content Creator = Model it yourself
Or hire a freelancer.

You arent going to get commercial quality or commercial for that fact for free unless you take up modeling yourself.

I think this is in the wrong section.

I plan on buying Realms Crafter, since I cant find another program like it.

Does the full game come with modern day content?

I doubt it.However if you wish to get some models for your project at a cheap price,write me an e-mail.

One thing though,either way you have to put in a lot of effort to make something good.Leadwerks is good on the graphical side and it uses LUA , which gives you some freedom,but I'm not sure about the multiplayer.

So basicly Realms Crafter is the way to go but it wont be easy? Hmm, well if anyone would like to help me in making this game that would be great and you will recieve a percentage of any profit we make off of this game. I am going to try and make this into a social network/marketing game and I plan on purchasing a cheap but good enough server that holds up to atleast 1,000 members.


If you have any knowledge in game development/design and would like to help out in the making of this game then please, contact me at [email protected] or my website - http://PlaystationGuide.net

oh dear, here we go.

Do you even have any scripting or programming background?
If so i would highly suggest not diving into this project as it will result in an unfinished project most of the time.

Well, you can talk me down all you want about hoe un-experianced I am but how far will that get you?

Look, I plan on creating this project no matter what anyone thinks, I have people supporting my idea and I don't plan on letting them down. Besides, how much programming does it take to create a game where all you do is walk around and talk to people, ride animals, buy clothes etc...? last time I checked that was commen sence, I mean it's not like I'm creating another Knights of Dream City or whatever with quests, this is simply for others to join my server, socialize and hang out, they will also have the option to purchase items such as clothes. Anyone who helps me out on this project will recieve some of the profit as well.

Look, if you don't like my idea or think I cant do it then please, don't reply to this forum, that's just rude. If it was constructive critism I could understand, but basicly saying "Here we go, another noob trying to make a game" is not what I need to hear. It's simple, if you like my idea, support me and/or help me in the development, but if you do not like my idea then do not post in my thread puting my ideas down, that just makes me feel like your saying I cant achieve something, and it's like this, if you have a will you have a way, even if it takes a year I will create this game.

Now with that said, if you do not support me then please, don't bother to reply.
