Hi guys, am sure some of you here do graphic 3d designing and all that. Is there any way i can make a Muliplayer game (from a computer) that is simlir to VMK? (if you heard of that game, got closed down) . Like you can create an avatar and walk around a virtual kingdom, play minigames and earn like fake money in the game and then you can buy items and all that? could i do a way where i can do it step by step so i can learn while i go along. ive made a mini flash maze game before but this seems like a BIG step.

Although i haven't built much stuff in recent years, I can tell you that a Multiplayer game is an absolutely massive step from building a flash game as far as i know... since your going to not only need server space to host the game, but also a lot of programming knowledge such as Java, C++ etc...
I mean i'm sure with enough time and tutorials you might be able to get something very simple going, but to do a full on multiplayer game, with credits and all that jazz will most probably take some decent knowledge in programming...
But as i said, its been a few years since i've done any of this stuff, so not sure how much Flash Development has changed and how much more powerful its become since then... so maybe some one with more updated knowledge can give you a better idea of just how do-able it really is...

if you want 3D then learn c++ (not an easy thing to do) , and use one of the 3D-graphics libraries like directx or opengl . and even then it will still take alot of time as it will probably only be you working on it.
if you are really interested and willing to put in the time ,i would get a c++ book , and start off with 2D games .
just remember if you dont know a programming language then you wont get far so start learning one.
good luck.

k thanks all ill start with something small and work my way up. i found some info on flash games that its easy to use and make avatars and all that i wanted... its 2d though whats the difference(by difference i mean graphics wise) between 2d and 3d ? with 2d can you still make an avatar or something like that walk around and stuff? it just wont be in depth?
2D uses animation and sprites where 3D uses polygons to build models of characters that move around within the space of the game.
can you make your own sprites sheet? i dont want to keep downloading those ones from the internet. and can you take 3d and server hosting stuff in highschool? (1 more year) -homer i love my hair though! =[
