Dawnspire 2 Creation

[Giman]

Ok. We have a little team - 2 programmers and i.
To create DS2 we need:
1. Server
2. Client
3. Database
4. Site (when made 1-3 - i make site)
Now we have:
Cool Forum
Good guys!
First we must make a server:
1. Login-Server (need MYSQL database)
2. Game server (master server) 
Than we can modify and (or) rewrite Dawnspire Prelude client!
Than i make site.
I think first we must make server (login+game) without guilds, rankings and other stuff - than will modify and upgrade it!
What you say? Was i wrong somewhere?

Ähh Freezer wants to make the Dawnspire hompage now. Well do you Giman want to make the hompage or its ok if Freezer makes it (he's a real life friend of me)

[Nightmare]

How about someone making the game first and worrying about the homepage later?

You don't even seem to know how to make a game... graphics and homepages certainly don't come first.

[Giman]

It is a simple!
Take the engine, make MYSQL database and Player db,
Then take mmorpg engine (it w8 3mb) connect it to 127.0.0.1 (localhost) server!
Last you mast change game maker file with game maker 7 - game created! it is 1 hour
I do that last week. But game was 2d and with DOS graphic!

[JoeKonay/Ren]

you say its symple but i understand nothing

[Nightmare]

I do that last week. But game was 2d and with DOS graphic!

Exactly. And I doubt there was much context in your little game either...

Here's a little newsflash just to get you back on the ground: You can't make games like Dawnspire with Game Maker or any other program like that, they are just not capable for that. I'm not trying to crush your hopes here, if you want to make a new DS then go ahead , but from what I've read I don't think you know what it takes... I mean even if you knew C++ inside out, were master with 3D Studio Max and had the skillz to setup network code you still wouldn't be able to do it. Not without first deciding what you want to do on a detailed level (I'm not talking about just skills and classes here but the whole concept of your game) and writing it all down, both for yourself and for those who you want to help you. Only when you have a clear image of what you're going to do you can start worrying about the techical aspects.



Notice: Considering the length of this post, and compared to average length of Hullu's posts, my post count should be increased tenfold

[Smiskfisk]

It took over 4 years to create Dawnspire. It's not simple

Good post Nightmare, should award you atleast 5.. eh.. points!

[Brummy]

Yea Smiskfisk ure right i took 4 years and another so actually it took 5 years but dawnspire got changed very often as far as i know. Well i dont play Dawnspire very long but i talked with the devs and they told me something.
Some examples:

it did take awhile, but it was something entirely different at the beginning so making it from scratch as is today wouldn't take as long

We have one programer and he has worked on Dawnspire for five years
