Well atleast drunk danny was kind enough to post it under chit chat :P

Ah I'll have a look at that, mate would it be possible for you to PM me your msn or skype id? I'd like to speak to you further on this topic

Is there any specific tutorial that you are following? I'd love it if you could share the link :)

Heyy, do not mean to hijack your thread but I have a question regarding HTML5, I did a quick google of html5 tutorials, and on one of the tutorial site it says that you require a good working knowledge of javascript to work with HTML5. Is this true? I have no knowledge of javascript, but I can program pretty well in C++, Python and I had a look(around 1hr) at PHP the other day, it seems pretty simliar to C++ so I can pick that up quickly aswell. I am gonna start learning HTML5, just wanted to know if I would face any difficulties in the future due to my lack of knowledge of javascripts. Thanks :)

Well true that you need graphics to entice players to try out your game, but also keep in mind that just having fancy graphics might give you players, but it will hardly ever give you active paying members unless there is content to back it up, Also having a good play means more people recommending it to their friends and I feel word of mouth is a pretty strong advertising method and conversion rate of visitors to active players will be higher. Your game does sound interesting and I am looking forward to see what you do with this "interactive map", keep us updated :)

Well my opinion is that graphics do help, but they should not be your primary concern, rather you should focus on content. I remember Alain had made a game a while back, it wasnt your conventional bbg, nor did it have any graphics, but it still managed to get the attention of everyone he showed it to. It was a simple treasure hunt game, where you go from one website to another. This is just an example of why I believe you should first focus on content and then think about the graphics.

Which pokemon game is that screenshot from?

Will this be a multiplayer game?

I just wanted something like this: http://www.webmonkey.com/2010/02/get_started_with_the_twitter_api/ To understand what I can do with an API and how to use it. But thanks for the help, good ol' google to the help in the end :P

Could you by any chance provide a quick mock up of using any api of your choice? Language of use doesnt matter, i just want to understand the concept of it

Hello everyone, I am interested in programming using API's, but I do not seem to be able to grasp the concept of what exactly is an API and how do I use it? Is a API a kind of module? For examples sake, let us assume we are speaking about the google API's. How do I harness the power of google maps/search or any other of their product, in my program? For further information, I am currently using python, so if anyone knows any good tutorials with python and API's it'd be really helpful! Thanks Rachit

Hello everyone, Recently we at MYOM have recieved numerous email's and PM's over various forums regarding the business side of making MMORPG's So we at MYOM have decided to release a few extracts from our book regarding formation of a company for your MMORPG. We have released three extracts which and have a few more planned, you can find them here: Article 1: http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com/983/start-an-mmorpg-company-part-1/ Article 2: http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com/1066/start-an-mmorpg-company-part-2/ Article 3: http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com/1088/start-an-mmorpg-company-part-3/ Thanks Rachit

Great to know! I'll definitely give your game a try   Thanks for your opinion, we will look into cutting down some categories :)

Lets not forget that CCMafia's game runs on a prebuilt script which isnt exclusive to him, so its probable that skooda has bought the same game

I did not understand a word you spoke there, oh and don't mean to be a dick but because you are offering story writing services, just make sure your grammar is correct.

Then how do you know when you are ready to move onto another language?

Heyy guys, So I have taken up C++ as a subject and I learn python by myself at home, but recently I have noticed another language I would like tolearn. Is it bad practise to learn 3 languages simultaneously? Should I instead go one at a time? In which case how do I know that I an ready to take on another language? Thanks Rachit Edit: i meant bad not bas :P

  Whats your budget for the template? Whats the turnaround time you expect? Do you want mascots aswell?

I dont think Joshua uses the forums anymore, I havent seen him on msn for quite a while either

Seeing his previous posts I think he is using mcV2

That should be the first thing you should think of for a good MMO...
