You see these games everywhere but do you know how they make them i am working on something secret and i need your help

umm well you have to have money..and figure out how to contact a company who does that..but i doubt a kid could do that.

..... It's hard... i've Already made my Characters and stuff on Paper now i just need to find a Company to Accpet it! :D

Good luck!

Let us know when it's ready for beta-testing!

Good luck!

Cool! A new game. Do all of us future players a favor, and make it G-rated. ;) If you need some staff or testers, I'm your guy!

I'm not sure a kid could make a game like VMK..
Perhaps if you get a good graphics program and make the characters there (or have someone else do it), THEN submit it to a company, and maybe they'll accept.

Hehe, to my knowledge there is only one company who knows how to make a game like VMK.. even though I'm sure with the right equipment and knowledge anyone could. Sulake is the name of that company, it made VMK, Coke Music, the aerpostle game, as well as it's major game Habbo Hotel (which I don't believe is G-Rated, so I wouldn't be going there.) If anyone be having the money, they would be the ones to contact ;)

While in the early era of home computers and video game consoles in the early 1980s, a single programmer could handle almost all the tasks of developing a game, the development of modern commercial video games involves a wide variety of skill-sets and support staff. As a result, entire teams are often required to work on a single project. A typical present-day development team usually includes:
• One or more producers to oversee production
• At least one game designer
• Artists
• Programmers
• Level designers
• Sound engineers (composers, and for sound effects)
• Testers
Some members of the team may handle more than one role. For example, the producer may also be the designer, or the lead programmer may also be the producer. However, while common in the early video game era, this is increasingly more uncommon now for professional games.

Exactly what Jamie said up there ^

There are a few programs online that let you do that, put for alot of them, you have to pay. A FlashPlayer could work, but it would end up being 1-player. Well, I have tried a few attempts at programming, and i'm sort of a good artist. If you need help on anything, PM me.

Thats Correct, I have Most of my Friends that are Artists and other Rolls, But it might come out Worst then VMK if i can't get Sulake to Accpet or someone...

you need publishers as well I think, they do all the marketing stuff like doing websites for the games and stuff but I think thats only for console games and not online games.

I use to live In Washington state and I know they hired teenagers right after Christmas to do phone support on their new games for when people had help and called in. That tome says they realize the value of a kids knowledge in gaming. Maybe you can contact a company like that and see where it goes. They are not online (At least I dont think) But you may ask them where to go.

and when you need staff memebers :)

Yup same here.

And people, with a good knowlege of computers, math, ect, a small program can happen. Send that into a company, if they like the idea, poof. Before public beta.

it aint that hard i have designed and made a few maps they now use in Americas Army its an online game quite fun just look for pipline map i worked on that

i have made one but it was unsuccessful and problems with the network server it was ok for first few weeks and then ppl stopped playing so company cancelled... i am [young] so it is possible but i only got company to accept bc it was my uncles company...lol

It helps to have connections. :)


When I was your age, I designed and programmed several fun games for the Commodore 64 computer (a system of which, I'm sure, you've never heard), but games back then were not nearly as complex as VMK.

hey, i have too heard of the Commodore 64! and I'm about his age! Neoteny, you and your stereotyping =P...

Anyway; my friend, if he is as good at game design as he says, has a 600 dollar program to create the game, but he still just creates them for his own pleasure, he doesn't really submit anything to any major company.
I do know that it is EXTREMELY hard in today's gaming world for a company to accept your ideas for a game, let alone something as complex as an MMO game like VMK.

Hmm...let's see, you will first need to make your characters and perhaps some background info. Then you will need a computer graphic animation. Then find a company that will sponser your site. Good luck

ok i just need to know do i need any software

if u need testers or staff ill be willing to help gl with the game :)

You'll need alot of money, a company, testers, staff, people that will gelp make it with you.

I've actually tried to play around with the coding for the Atari with some friends, which I know was Commodore's biggest opponent at the time. The reason I did it with the Atari is because it's one of the most simple hardware, and the coding isn't too hard to understand.

Believe it or not, I first heard about the systems from a book called The Lost Boys. :)

There is this really cool game I like called whuddleworld it's kinda like vmk but anyway,it took them $500,000 to do it and the lady that wanted to make the site had to work alot and even sell her house and car for it

But did it pay off for her?

The game is free. I Don't think it Payed off! I wouldn't sell my house or ( once I get one) car for a game. But hey, the world is a strange, strange place.

Pfffft. One man can program an entire 1-player game. It's the art that's hard. Trust me. I'm a novice programmer myself.

But, back to the first post, for a game like VMK, first you'll need a server, a webmaster, a general programmer, GUI programmer, message system programmer, chat programmer, art designer, furniture system programmer, and so on and so forth.

In other words, you probably need to have an actual company to do it. Sorry to crush your dreams, man.

Well actually, I am making my own MMORPG game. ;) I am a kid. It is possible, you just have to dream big.

Well, just any old MMORPG is entirely possible if you know what you're doing ;) I got some friends who are doing it themself, and they even landed a spot in the next E3. (Or, what's left of it XD)

I'm just saying something like VMK...

Let's put it this way: VMK itself isn't even completely done. They're still adding stuff left and right

VMK was made with the help of Habbo...


So i'm not sure if you can get them to notice you.

after like forever i found the right software and im currently trying to figure out how to use it thanks for the support
adventurerocko
p.s message me to be a staff if this doesnt work out im sorry but i cant promise this to work out

Well actually, I am making my own MMORPG game. ;) I am a kid. It is possible, you just have to dream big.

But, what is the picture of?

its a show called so weird it was this old disney show

i wish i could make a game like that i hope i can play the game u are playing . my uncle has a website and he can problay make a game on it!

Go to college, then think about getting a career in online graphics and gaming design and try to get a meeting in with Sulake in order to make a game like VMK. You would also need a smart team.

let me know if u ever find out..me and my friend were wondering on how we could make a site Kinda like vmk.. but let u say Way more stuff..but yea let me know if u ever find out :D

well really u have to have like a digital company help u like vmk had Sulake wjho made vmk and habbo which is terrible or u have to have a massive server other than that its going to be hard

i know i get my 2 friends that can draw good and my 1 friend who can write good and has good grammer and my other friend who has a good mind then my other friends will be mad :)

Hold on is this going to be like vmk 2 or different.

When I get a little more stuff for my game, I will post some screenshots to show you that you really can make an awesome game.

i think i'm going to be a game maker when i grow up and make good games

You don't have to wait until you grown up. I am a kid. ;)
