I've Secretly Been Working on an MMORPG
The first 1,000 people to use the link will get a 1 month free trial of Skillshare: skl.sh/goodgis08221
Well...maybe I wasn't so secret about it but I've been working on some indie MMORPG prototypes for the past couple of months. Ever since I made my two Online RPGs Wizbirds and Fantasy World, I've had a desire to go back and actually make a good one. Inspired by games like Runescape, Maplestory, Paper Mario, and yes...even Dark Souls.

nice to hear your a godot supporter as well anyone else think they should fix the errors with rooting like pronto though cause i had a literally timer which is so simple and yet it had a rooting error and wouldnt tell me so i had no clue that all i had to do was make a new one to fix the fact it wouldnt work at all. other then a few stuff like that godot is just amazing prolly the best game engine even though its less powerful.

If you're developing a gameplay-focused 2d MMO, at any point in the future, I heavily suggest checking out Starbreak. It's basically MMORPG contra, it's awesome and should you return to the prototype once you're finished with your current project, you should really look into it.

That's some pretty impressive work in those prototype MMO's. Don't give up!
I think the biggest problem I had with wizbirds 1 was the fact the game wasn’t exactly fun when there wasn’t an active playerbase, so if a bunch of people stopped playing, that would cause a domino effect of more people doing the same. I hope that your new project does not fall into this trap as well

Genuinely one of the hardest parts of making an online game as an indie dev. Making an online game good requires that you have somewhat of an active playerbase, and if you're indie, odds are you won't. A lot of it though is just designing the game to work well even if your concurrent player count is low or even if just one person is playing.
Dude these prototypes have me insanely hyped for what's to come after DewDrop is finished! Great video as always man 😊

I had some experience working on a personal small-scale MMO rpg game as well, I learned from it and to be honest ,it's one of the best time I've ever had developing a game. Like running around in almost empty world with a friend is so much fun.

This was really interesting to see, seeing how after each prototype yours skills clearly evolved, also sounds like the best plan, finish Dewdrop and then see how you feel and continue with Mist and Metal (if you want to at the time) rather than going back and forth or stopping Dewdrop. Looking forward to seeing more!

Great video! If you don’t mind me asking, what was the new approach taken for the networking for prototype 3. You mentioned 1 had too little server management, and 2 was basically completely server managed. How did you approach balancing things for the third prototype? Also, just wanna say, I really love your pixel art. I hope to one day get a better handle on the process for my own.

Idea of an MMORPG was my dream but MMORPGs on the market wasn't what I looked for. They felt like their only feature was that they were MMOs. What I wanted was something huge with MMORPG elements such as Skyrim MMO, Dark Souls MMO, Minecraft MMO. So, this project is my life dream. I hope you can make this happen. I want to start an MMORPG project after you. Good Luck. Hope you work this project out.
