Alright everyone - this will be my first official release - and beta will be to HF users. I have started development tonight. I took 3 years of Java in school - and I fell out of practice. To get back in - I've been doing much reading and studying again - and I've decided to get back into game design! I LOVE 2D MMORPG's. They're probably one of my favorite genres of video games. From RoTMG to Rucoy on the phone - I play often. 

The problem with these games are the developers aren't interested in keeping up with there game. I understand everyone has a life - but these games have huge potential - so tonight I outlined my own and have started coding it. This thread will be the development thread / progress thread for the game! I've just posted in the GFX section looking for an artist to join the team. As development moves forward I am sure I will need other coders to help me - so keep your eye out! I plan on putting a lot of time and effort into this game - and trying to start a team for our own game development site (This is far down the road but I just want to share with everyone my thoughts for this!).

Currently:  program "Omega Online" - 1/5/18 @ 1:00 AM has been started! 

Here is just a quick GIF I threw together of just some simple framework for the game. I will keep you all updated. I'm hoping to get at least one update out / daily. Obviously finding a GFX artist will help me immensely move forward as I currently don't have any graphics for the game.

Well here is the skeleton of the game that I put together - I hope for everyone to follow my work and that together we as a community can make this game a huge success!

Good luck man! As for the gfx designers I might be interested. They will be payed correct?

Upfront the GFX designer will not be paid - once the game is completed I have a few places I'm going to launch the game (sites) and I am going to fix it up for Android as well - and it will bring in money - and the GFX designer at that point will be paid.

Good luck finding designers that way. No one is going to work their ass off and expect to get payed off what YOU think the game is going to make. Thats retarded. How do you know that the game will make money in the first place? What if I were to work on your game and once you release it, it doesn't pull in any money?

Well then consider it a fun project. No reason to get so angry lil fella. If someone doesn't want to do it for free until the game becomes profitable - then I have no problem taking time to learn how to be better at GFX design :) Just another asset to add to my tool belt.

I'm not angry at all. I'm just telling you how it is. Learning graphic design will help you in the long run anyway, as you will be able to create more games on your own instead of depending on other people to get the work that you need done. GL on the project lil fella

I really like your idea, and I think the user above is wrong. I dont think for a section that you can't find a GFX guy to do some work for free. It's a great project which I'm sure plenty of developers would love to be apart of!

Keep it up man, I believe!!

Also I never played a 2D MMO, but I checked the games you mentioned, and they look fun as hell.

2D MMO's are so much fun to me! And thanks man I believe I'll find someone to do some free GFX work to because I believe this project has lots of potential! If you look at the already existing 2D MMO's (The bigger ones) such as RoTMG - they have good income - they incorporated a sales system for diamonds for premium items - and advertising - and people will always pay 2 win lol!  But thank you for the support ! :)

Updated! while waiting for a GFX artist I've began working on the server/client!

Thanks man! Production may be a little slower then expected I've actually started working on a new RSPS  with a team that's coming out soon.

Thanks! I'm actually starting from scratch - not that I was to far in. I want to use a few different methods / implementations and instead of rewriting I'll just redo the ground work so everything flows nicely.

Epic! Will follow you man :) Best of luck!
