Hey, who said MMORPGs in DBP are impossible? I have a released single-player version of Marauder, the ship MMORPG. The actual game will login to a remote computer running a dedicated host.

Here is the web add: http://www.marauder.co.nr
The registration and login is unstable, but the rest of the site should be fine.

Tell me what you think.

Basically you will have to show screenshots in a WIP thread to get ppl to download.
Secondly, you must show that your game is capable of multiplayer. Releasing a Single Player verison when it is a "mmorpg" will get you lots and lots of hatrage lol. Show shots or proof of its multiplayer abilties.
Thirdly, people seems to hate mmorpg WIP project because they never really are mmorpg, but just claim to be one. So again, show proof and ppl will provide more feedback.

(just tryed the game)
1) ever heard about the word "Collision"?
2) u also got a bug that the ship or whatever this THING is keep sweeming even if its riched the click point.
3) is that water? cuz as i know, the water should be blue, no?
4) you can't say that the game IS mmo already if we even didnt tryed it. or at least, show some shots that its really is mmo by entering with few players in same time
5) there is nothing actually in the game.. =/

Images do work, they just take a little while to download thats all.

Quote: ""1) ever heard about the word "Collision"?""
- Not done yet

the game has lots of things to be done (as gogetax says about water and gameplay and stuff) as for the mmo bit, as with any mmo game it dosnt start off massively multiplayer but gets there in the end if it takes off

i will post some more screenshots soon showing the host in action and the multiplayer side of it

Have uploaded the multiplayer version and the host. http://www.marauder.co.nr/Files/Downloads.html

The screenshots do not work. Believe me - we want to see the screenshots, we're not just making this up.
It tries to load them, but it can't. Tried refreshing several times and tried right clicking and doing 'show image'.

The images won't show.

Shame, it sounds interesting but I've not got time to download it.
Maybe you could upload a screenshot to the thread?

I'm giving it a new 'make-over'. Since the interface seems to be OK, i'm keeping that but the sea is gonna look better, the island is going (the island was just a seabed matrix raised up) and I'm mapping nuclear glory collision to everything. That should sort the collision. The island will be an advanced terrain (since i discovered that the adavanced terrain created is a DB object).

Quote: "2) u also got a bug that the ship or whatever this THING is keep sweeming even if its riched the click point."

That is fixed now, i had a problem with my 3d distance function

I'll upload some new screeines when i am happy with my island

also a new chat system is going in place, if you've ever played C&C renegade multiplayer online before, you will see the chat box appears whenever a new message is said and vanishes after a while. Thats the affect i'm after.

Quote: "5) there is nothing actually in the game.. =/"

i'm gonna put quests and npcs in later, but i havn't got round to that yet

millions every day??? if you're talking about money.. then thats wrong because

1) current mmorpgs dont even get millions per day. probably only a couple thousand...
2) dont expect to make too much unless your game is going to be top of the line and and ur expert at programming and 3d modeling (or u have a good team)

its not that im discuraging you, its just dont get ur hopes that high. try more realisticly like i am. a few dollars per account per year to play...
