Me along with a couple of friends together started to write an MMORPG a couple of weeks ago and have made significant progress in developing the game. Unlike many other MMORPG startups out there, we do not intend to give up at any point as we plan on going a long way with this project. Presently we are writing the basic framework of the client-server modules and are still working on optimizing it for more players and all such stuff. Have not gone in depth the graphics side though by next week we will give ourselves a head start on that aspect. The Ileor Framework provides a plugin-based architecture for the development of massively multiplayer online games. You can write your own plugins in C++ and load them dynamically into the server or client. Both server and clients are provided. The base client is a debugging client. To get a graphical client, you will need to download a graphical client module from the Ileor website (currently very few modules are available, so you might have to end up writing it yourself). It is coded C-style. This is because we prefer this style over an object oriented approach when it is unnecessary. You are of course free to use object orientation in your modules. Our team consists of 2 programmers and 2 graphics developers. We have registered a google groups account in case any of you are interested in having a glance at out development. The complete source code is downloadable by anyone and can compile and see the results yourself. Also we have established an SSH tunneling protocols by which one can simply update his local database using git cvs commands. http://groups.google.com/group/ileor-dev This is the development mailing list for the Ileor Framework project. If you want to submit a patch for Ileor, this is the place to do it in. If you want to get updates on the latest developments in the Ileor project, this is the place for it. For any queries, do not hesitate to post in the google groups. P.S. We also have Daily IRC from 1500 hours GMT or 2200 hours IST where all the members are required to login and discuss about the days progress.
