How to make a desktop game like Runescape classic? Refer to

Now learn OpenGL, it's not that hard.
And don't bother with Vulkan unless you really care about performance.

Doing it with C++ is masochism.

1. Learn C#.
2. DL Lynda Unity tutorials.

Anything except C is shit guise!

visual basic or no balls

Exactly this >>57730281
OpenGL is easy to use and not that difficult to get used to.

>>57730105
But do you know Lisp? You can't make this without Lisp.

learn some c, opengl, a framework like sdl for window creation and get into socket programming (check out beejs guide). its pretty simple, really

slaves to armok 1 always reminded me of rsc.

> I can't go into real programming. C# SAVE ME

Pathetic.

Find some opengl java bindings, lwjgl is good. You might even consider using kotlin or other hipster languages.

So yeah I am going to attempt this.
Already worked with OpenGL but gave up after finding it hard to load models...

Looks quite good.
How to code in minimap click functionality? seems complex.

Even though it's shit. I say Game maker studio. You can get enough performance with those graphics and can port it to anything with minimal effort.

unity is dogshit. the overhead would kill an MMO

slaves to armok 1 is what was abandoned before making slaves to armok 2: dwarf fortress, specifically because it looked terrible.

but I agree it does actually look great considering the number of people working on it.

to be honest if you're just wanting to make a game for fun and it's about making the game and not about making something profitable or coding, this is the way to go. I had a relatively sophisticated runescape clone going when I was fourteen years old using a free version of game maker back in the day, I still have shitloads of spritesheets from the project though unfortunately I lost the exe over the years.

That's an issue if you have shit servers and computers running the game. Fuck, even Nintendo is using Unity right now. Why would want anyone to spend so much time writing code for fucking rendering the game. That's why Unity, Unreal and CryEngine exists. Stop being autist.

>not writing your games in C using only the Windows API/XCB + Vulkan

Don't ever talk to me or my GPU again.
