LOM MMO

[gameprogneilae]

Hi all,

the fan base is shrinking over time, at this rate there won't be LOM at all..

I'm proposing LOM as an MM0

I specialise in Software tools for Windows , game programming

My recommendation is Hero Engine

www.heroengine.com/

they also provide dedicated server

If u guys agree then we need to start building a team quick or this great game is gone forever!

u can find me on skype also gameprog.neil.ae

and please vote!

cheers

guess what i've started work on LOMSE 'unofficial' remake just a screenshot of work in progress





thanx to boaster for support and svn for LOMUT

will post on progress

Don't you think MMO genre is slowly dying, and the overall difficulty is too much for one guy? You will need 3D-modelers for such kind of thing, which is kinda tricky and all.
Someone asked me about the Mount&Blade mod dedicated to LOMSE, I think it's more viable. I would even participate in that kind of thing. Otherwise... no. MMO cannot concur with the industry giants like WoW and such. It will be too hard to promote.

Not even talking about the copyright (you know, LOMSE concepts are all copyrighted, so you cannot simply put LOM units in another standalone game which doesn't require the original LOMSE).
Yes, it applies to every little brownie you see in the game.

i'm achieving in steps

first being a campaign(story driven) (not MMO)game.

"you cannot simply put LOM units in another standalone game which doesn't require the original LOMSE"
i'll use the artwork only for development purposes not in final release.

as far as competing with big guys like WOW well there is a bigger list of big guys who didn't do too well

but u've heard of minecraft so i'll take my chances too..

[Boaster]

Sounds like an ambitious endeavor. I wait with anticipation!

[orzie]

Well, I also support everything LOM-related, especially if done quite professionally, so you've got my vote too.

thanx orzie..i appreciate what every fan on this site and other sites have done so far to keep this game alive.

[gameprogneilae]

i've decided to focus on two faiths for the next version..

Life vs Death

i did find a nice engine Duality which is based on C# .NET but i've shifted to GameMaker Standard edition for quicker development.

i've waited too long to make this version so i chose GameMaker.

[orzie]

So how much customizable is that engine? When people use Unity, they have to pay around $1500 to be able to improve or change it (which is necessary in 99% of cases).

here is the link www.yoyogames.com/studio/buy

standard edition is free now..all i had to do was register my email

so that i can be spammed by marketing guys small price but acceptable

[gameprogneilae]

i'm using art from Age of Empires, it's a lot easier for me to work with for the initial round and i'm resizing the LOMSE characters to fit in

here is a screenshot of wip using GameMaker

[Boaster]

So far so good.

But I'd recommend posting thumbnail previews that link to the full picture if they're over 320x240 in size.

[gameprogneilae]

sorry about that boaster..i thought the image is a link..and not a proper upload to your server..will do from now onwards

Yes I am using Age of Empires sprites and designing the game around it.


I felt it would be a good start.

Eventually i will move to LOMSE.

[meistermurloc]

i actually made a few newer 3D models for LOMSE in my free time.

www.reddit.com/r/LoMSE/
posted them here.

i'd love to see LOM become an MMO, i might hav some notes about that idea lying around somewhere.…

as for myself, i dabble in 3D creation and since this year also in game design but i am in no way a programmer/ coder.
