View Full Version : Game Making software.
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 07:58 PM Hey everybody. i have disgened and planned out a new online game, But i dont have any software to make it!
sorry, but im not anouncing any features besides its name, SpellTown; or as i call it, ST
it should be done in a year or so :)
i also need Staff, and Testers, but the staff and testers will only be friends, sorry people ;)
Staff wear a blue outfit and their title starts with ST_
testers wear a red outfit and their title starts with TEST_
and me? well i get my own outfit; as im the creator of the game ;) LOL
anyway; this is COPYRIGHTED!!! SO NO COPYING!!!
anyway; the main reason of this thread is to find software, or for someone to mention a software i could buy in stores, or buy online, that has minimal bugs and is easy to use.
and yes, Im willing to pay lots of money for the program.
Thanx for your time and help in advance.
TiggerDude 08-17-2007, 08:12 PM I just have one little question :
Why's it called Spell Town?
ChoPotter 08-17-2007, 08:15 PM I don' have any software, but I'd like to help come up with ideas if you need any...heh...and if you need staff, i'll be one...;)
Galaxee 08-17-2007, 08:22 PM coolJamz probably dun't want to explain the game so that nobody takes the idea.
I know of two programmes to make games, I don't know if they will help you or not. One is GameMaker, which my friend has. The other is called Microworlds. I think Microworlds is $100; I don't know the price of GameMaker. I don't know if they will help with online games or not, though. :\
If you don't know any programming, either would be a good starter. I learnt some programming from Microworlds, but I haven't used the program in a bit so I forgot how to use it. XD
You're going to need A LOT of code to make a game. @_@

Yup...I agree, if it's gonna be a game kinda like vmk, it's gonna need a lot of hard work. you'll need to create characters, and a world...and like...everything
Centurey 08-17-2007, 08:29 PM I'll be willing to help.
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 08:59 PM Thanx everyone. sorry Xiaolin, not looking for co-producers. Im very capable of creating this, and i have all my idea written down and edited and all that junk.
Centurey: Staff or Tester?
AvastKrazy 08-17-2007, 09:05 PM Can i be a staff?
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:12 PM Sorry Friends only guys, so far Xiaolins a Tester and Centurey is a .... something..
Progress report:
Doing good, my sheet with all the info about the game is almost complete, i just need to make the values and the dictionary, so dont worry it will be safe :)
Galaxee 08-17-2007, 09:17 PM If you do some web surfing, you might be able to find out what "engine" drives VMK. By this I mean that you might find out what programme they used to make VMK.
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:19 PM Yeah.. that would help.
Xiaolin, im not going to post about the game yet, but it has to do with a HUGE town, and Spells, where you can turn into dragons, frogs, and such.
i think this might be a hit... Im half way done the dictionary also.
:D bright futures ahead
LordIllidan 08-17-2007, 09:22 PM Hmmm...
If you're doing an MMO, I'd suggest googling up Eclipse (The MMO engine, not the Java tool!), and Server To Go. Both are free, but Server To Go needs a dedicated drive to run on, I believe (And by "Dedicated drive," I just mean "Computer or USB stick you'll be willing to leave on 24/7").
Good luck!
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:23 PM Do they have good grapics? and is it pretty simple to use?
i dont like the software that is like... really hard... it TAKES FOREVER to make a game with it...
Centurey 08-17-2007, 09:24 PM wooo im a something LOL.
Galaxee 08-17-2007, 09:25 PM If you are working on the dictionary, please remember to add the gerund forms of the verbs. "Playing", "running", "swimming", "reading", "going"...
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:27 PM wooo im a something LOL.
Sent: TESTER OR STAFF!! LOL
Oh and yes ill add verbs.
dont worry; ill add cheese :)
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:34 PM Harry potter does what?
LOL no silly, you turn YOURSELF into a fire breathing dragon for a 5 minutes :)
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:38 PM Okay but not alot of those kinds of spells, i dont want to copy vmk.....
Thats why so far i only have animal spells..
By the way Xiaolin and Centurey? what will your titles be on the game? I need to know in advance, Thanx.
LordIllidan 08-17-2007, 09:38 PM Do they have good grapics? and is it pretty simple to use?
i dont like the software that is like... really hard... it TAKES FOREVER to make a game with it...
It's about as simple as you'll get with game development software, especially ones for making MMOs
The graphics... The default graphics are 8 bit, but I'm pretty sure you can add your own custom graphics.
coolJamz 08-17-2007, 09:39 PM oh yeah and the only way this game is like vmk is
1: staff and testers, But EVERY game has that so..
2: your a virtual person
3: you walk...?

TY for pointing out in BOLD letters that u are doing the exact thing VMK is doing right now. Also Cabela's is doing the same thing. Yes the big game hunting store is only hiring unless u party and are friends with the headhoncho's and guess what? people who have worked at Cabels a long time are quiting bc of that.
Don't be stupid let others join you might just make some new friends.
Glowaslan 08-20-2007, 09:20 PM @_@...... can i be your friend? rofl

what? Cabela who? lol...
and i think i have control of my own game. im not just making my friends staff like " that", if thats what you think, Im only making my friends staff, because i no how they act in the game. i also gave them all a quiz to fill out, and they passed.
dont say things you dont know.
~LOGiCALVMK~ 08-20-2007, 09:54 PM this is a great thread!! A couple of months ago me and my bff started writing stuff down for ideas for a game like VMK called TCOM. i wish i could get a device to be able to make a online game
dabaseballking 08-21-2007, 10:07 PM Are there any screenshots yet?
