Hello everyone, I am first-term graduate Student in San Francisco and I have few experiences as a front end developer and last couple years I have been programming in PHP, Java, Javascript etc... Nowadays with the increasing popularity of Javascript I fell in love with the language and now I left aside my all my web application projects and started creating a MMORPG game in Javascript. I don't want to use any framework or game engine, because I don't think there is one completely fulfills my needs. I am mostly inspired by Ultima Online (to me still the most epic game of the world) and Mozilla's BrowserQuest. BrowserQuest would be very simplistic version of my game, since I am putting in skills, larger world map, character selection etc... But the very simple idea is same. Thinking of using node and (no idea about node but will figure out) mongodb. Most struggles for now will be about rendering and walking on the map I guess, and I need tons of graphics, I bought from graphicriver few dungeons and item graphics but not enough. And mostly I need a character sprite which the character needs to go up, down, left, right, and cross! I have this http://gaurav.munjal.us/Universal-LPC-Spritesheet-Character-Generator/ but characters are not good and cant go to cross way. I am at the very beginning, still reading lots of materials and at this point I really need big help from you, if anyone want to join or offer another resources or any kind of advice, I am open and appreciated! Thank you Hacker News!
