Hi,
I would like to create a game. The only one what I know is: I want to make (with my wife) and I want to be distributed over internet. I would like to make it free playable and some custom items could be bought from shop.
I am very familiar with java (desktop) programming, I have a 3d project finished in java, my wife could be a designer, artist.
I would like to develop around 2-3, max 6 months, and I would like to earn around 1000-2000 usd / month after a period of stable release. What to do?
I like the mmo games specially the 3D strategy like: [allods online|http://allods.gpotato.com/] . For my wife the best is a pet care game like
superpoke .
Today I saw a demo for a 3d java library it was an rpg game ( others was implemented in C or idk what , maybe assembly some parts). This kind of games
in my mind it will take at least 6 months development to become basic playable and if anybody would give a donate / buy something, but a real estimate is for 10 developers and 1 year to satisfy somebody(at allods are 100 names at credits and had a budget of 12 mill usd). So here leak of HR, time, money. I am right? Have you other idea?
The pet care games are simpler, but are implemented in Flash. I am wondering if I could find something similar like Flash in Java, JavaFX, or a Swing application launched with webstart? (a jnlp file at web page)
The development with Flash requires a learning time for me, and is important expense the 1000 usd or more for flash development license, which I would invest only if I have no other choice ( better invest this money on marketing, advertising).
The third part of games are web based(php), rich javascript on it, like :
gladiatus ,
travian what java alternative? simple JSP+struts?
As hardware, I think I meet the requirement for a server at least on the beginning.
What to do, with what technologies?
