I’m really going at a snails pace to be honest I’m just looking over the files seeing what I can and can’t make sense of. I’m in no rush to get anything done just having a play with the initial settings first. what would be best for me to start learning first php?

Got files, hosting and domain. thankyou to all involved, now to have a play.

Your opinion is very welcomed as is everyone’s opinion. I’m absolutely new to this so any advice has got to be better than none. I want to get something up and running so I can learn by the old trial and error. when you know absolutely nothing you have to break a few things to learn how to fix it. As a general builder in real life I’ve deffo learnt by just getting on with certain things. some mistakes have cost me but lesson learned and never the same mistake twice. your all a great community and it’s people like you that make a community.

This evening I shall make a move finally! Going to go on the gl engine I’ve decided and some paid hosting to eventually keep the uptime. Will also be looking for someone to create a new template for the site and will be looking for someone to code some updates etc in the next 10 days. this may seem abit backwards for some people but for myself it makes progress. I look forward to learning the basics and go from there.

I’m just waiting on wages, bursting with excitement to get started. Don’t expect the next best game as this is just a fun project for myself. Many many learning curves to come.

Thank you all im going to make my first step tomorrow see how I get on.

Massive thanks to you all for posting, feel very welcomed and feel you all are a good bunch. look forward to eventually sharing my progress with you all once I decide a platform to start with etc. Do you know any tutorials on how to get started? Example: creating a database, uploading files to server for them to work, log in page etc. once I get a main game on the web I can then get to looking into editing bits etc. I mean I’m that new to this I’ve not even got my rookie badge 😂 EDIT: just for starting out is there anything other than plesk that I can use to get running. Will pay for plesk in the coming months but I’m after something for now also willing to buy a domain today to get something online and get me learning.

Thanks for your input Adam much appreciated. I shall have a look into it now. Next thing is how to turn these files into a working webpage/game. I’ve read a little the other day and come to a conclusion I’m going to need more software, to manage databases etc. is there specific programs that are a big yes or no? thankyou Brett

Any recommendations on what files you would use? I don’t mind paying that’s not an issue just like to know what files be best to get a game going. I want to start on a good base that’s why I don’t mind paying for files

Thankyou for your fast reply I was looking at the files from azh maybe then learn how to get it online. Once I’ve learnt that start learning how edit certain variants (item costs etc) then learn to change certain images. it’s going to be a very long process for me I understand that but like I said will be a personal project. If I was to buy files what programs would I need to get it up and running with a control panel etc thanks again Brett

I’m looking for some advice I’ve been very interested in browser games for many many years but only as a player. As I was browsing the internet last week I stumbled across this forum and asif just like magic it has a heaven of information that’s got me really thinking… I want to start a game of my own. BUT please forgive me as I’m a total new starter to all of this. What I’d like to find out is how would I go about starting a mafia/gangster game? what programs would I need? Are there alternative programs I can use if I don’t want to pay for one? setting up database/control panel? Type of hosting? Best files to use? how to upload those files? how to change level progress, costs for items etc. can I add my own cars etc? I have many questions for those that are willing to share knowledge, I’m not looking to open the next best mafia game but I am looking to learn how to do this as a long term project for my own satisfaction. looking to start buying what I need as of Monday onwards. thanks for taking the time to read this and thanks to those who take the time to reply. regards Brett
