srachit Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Hello everyone! My name is Rachit and I am from http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com. Our site is dedicated to helping others learn how to design, develop and run MMORPGs (specifically, browser games). My partner, Aaron, has even written a well acclaimed book on making your own MMORPGs (check it out here on Amazon). The book is packed with invaluable information, tips and tricks, and tons of resources for designing your own game. We are currently running two contests on our site, one for people who are already experienced in making MMORPGs and one for people who are just starting out with their first game. Be sure to check them out! Contest 1 (for existing game owners): Win a copy of the NEaB engine! Contest 2 (for new game developers): Win a copy of the MCCodes engine! We also have interviews with some renowned people of the online game development industry such as: Alain Bertrand ColdBlooded of MCCodes Sergio from SOSfactory On our site you’ll also find useful articles, reviews, and hundreds of resources. We would love to have you drop by our site, check out the resources, leave feedback and suggestions, and become involved in our efforts to turn our site into an indispensable resource for MMORPG developers. Check us out: http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com Thanks, Rachit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted February 23, 2012 Share Posted February 23, 2012 Well it's interesting, your forum is very inactive (as of checking), but the interviews we're somewhat a good read, so do more! ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spudinski Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 This whole thing seems very fishy... the book, the site, the people. Something doesn't add up somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sim Posted February 24, 2012 Share Posted February 24, 2012 I think the concept behind this site is very good. I wanna win neab engine. Mwhaha. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srachit Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 I think the concept behind this site is very good. I wanna win neab engine. Mwhaha. ;) Lol if you have the game enter the contest and see how it goes, all you know you might win ;) :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny696 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Sorry, this contest is all wrong. I own a game, then enter a competition to win a game engine. Seems strange really. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srachit Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Sorry, this contest is all wrong. I own a game, then enter a competition to win a game engine. Seems strange really. The contest is for people who want to use the NEaB engine, but the reason we are limiting the participants to only game owners is because we dont want to just give the engine away and not see anything done with it, we want the winner to be someone who has experience with games and will put in the work required to have a unique game up and running Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Danny696 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well, If someone has put in the work to make a unique game, with it up and running, then surley they wouldnt need a new engine to make a genric game? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sim Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 @Danny696 , why you always trying to give someone a hardtime. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srachit Posted February 25, 2012 Author Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well, If someone has put in the work to make a unique game, with it up and running, then surley they wouldnt need a new engine to make a genric game? The requirement to enter also states that it has to be a tex based game, so here we are giving an opportunity to the contestant to make his next game a 2D game, also the NEaB engine offers a lot of customization so you are not stuck to any one kind of game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Djkanna Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 @Danny696 , why you always trying to give someone a hardtime. He has a valid point, it does seem weird why one would already need a game to win a game engine. EDIT: Okay Srachit's reply makes sense too. :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dominion Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 Well, If someone has put in the work to make a unique game, with it up and running, then surley they wouldnt need a new engine to make a genric game? To be honest I think it's more due to how complex NEAB is next to mccodes. V2 could easily be used by someone with only a little PHP experience where as NEAB would probably confuse the average mccodes game owner (the majority of game owners on mwg?). What I will say is anyone considering entering the competition go to their website, and download the free version of NEAB. If you can't make heads or tails of it make sure you have some kind of support in place just in case you win. Don't want it to go to waste.

Danny696 Posted February 25, 2012 Share Posted February 25, 2012 @Danny696 , why you always trying to give someone a hardtime. I was simply questioning something I didnt understand, which I now do understand. @djk and @srachit, I understand now, Thanks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
srachit Posted February 27, 2012 Author Share Posted February 27, 2012 Hey guys! Today we've got a fascinating interview with a world renowned MMORPG expert Dr Richard Bartle, you can find his interview here : http://www.makeyourownmmorpg.com/1072/exclusive-interview-with-dr-richard-bartle/ Thanks Rachit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldbard Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I regularly play a web game based on the Richard Bartle game of Waving Hands, called Warlocks. I also have a game that's a little different, but equally as fun, which you can try out here: The Grid: http://codeelf.com/games/grid/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bobbylien Posted March 7, 2012 Share Posted March 7, 2012 I like it but I think you'd be better off starting with a lot less forum categories. They're all great category ideas but having so many inactive makes the forum feel dead when it seems to have a fair amount of posts lately.
