Is it ok to make a 2d-tile rpg game kinda like… http://www.forlornonline.com/
but in java swing, and each user has an independent client with my game installed.
I want to use java swing and display a Java2D canvas for the small tile map in the corner of the swing.
I always dreamed of starting a small online community like this.
I am not skilled enough to do this stuff online, but I was going to work a single player version of my game first.
…then ill have to learn networking somehow. I will need a server someday when I have actual money.
I would like users with their java swing clients to be able to log in, chat and do anything in the game.
I do not like scripting or browser’s, I like clients.
I do think i would like to build my game so it will be easier to port to online-play, like getting the server ready, and managing the data, saving etc.
