I'm really exited about joining GameDev.net and hope this can be my ticket to game development.If its oke for you guys i would like to introduce myself and tell you my goals and intentions for subscribing to gamedev.net (bought the 1 year subscripting so you know i'm serious about joining and learning to develop games)
First of all, my name is Thomas and i'm 23 years old, living near the coast of Belgium.I have a bachelor degree in marketing with extensive knowledge on Online Marketing. I have absolutly no experience what so ever in any kind of programming but that will hopefully chance in the near future. I'm also a father of 1 (soon 2 because the misses is pregnant again). I'm a real mmo fanatic aswell as a fantasy fan. I played all the major fantasy mmo's and always had my own view on how i wanted to create my own mmo but never tought about it any further.
I started thinking (this was about 3 years ago) about how it would want to see my mmo to function so i started to write stuff down, and now 3 years later i have about 800+ pages full. I don't even know how you guys would call this, in the movies they would call it a story line. Let me know how game guys call this.
Everything that i wanted to implement has been written down. Races, classes, PVP, scenario, storyline (needs more input) , and more....
Now, i never thought about it to actually do anything about it but after one of my buddies told my about his brother who works on games that its very hard but not impossible for people like me (no knowledge but eager to learn) to actually make it a reality, even if its just a basic (ugly looking) structure where more professional people can work with. This got me interested so i contacted this guy and he gave me lots of sites to look up on, one of wish is of course GameDev.net
I already browsed trough the forums, and man is it confusing for a noob, lol.
So this is my story as of today.
I will fire out some questions in the newbie section so i can get started.
I will update this tonight with my most needed questions so you can find them more easily.
Cheers and hope to get to know all you guys.
