Online games allow you to play against players all over the world. To create your own multiplayer game, you will need programming, game and visual design knowledge.
Instructions
Step 1
Select and download software to create a game (such as BYOND). Learn to use the program. Experiment with different options and software features.
Step 2
Select the genre of the game you are creating. Almost any game genre can be multiplayer. For example, a game can be a shooter like Halo 3 or a strategy game like World of Warcraft.
Step 3
Make a list of the elements to include in the game. These elements can include enemies, weapons, items, and even levels. Make the list as varied as possible to keep the game as interesting as possible.
Step 4
Draw the visuals of the game on a piece of paper. Color them in with crayons or crayons. Drawing elements on paper before designing in game software can make the process much easier.
Step 5
Draw visuals in your chosen game creation software. Try to stick to the original design on a piece of paper. Make the necessary changes and additions. The visual elements of the game should include the main characters, backgrounds, levels and enemies.
Step 6
Get involved in programming the elements of the game. These elements include character movement, interaction with the game's environment, and game physics (gravity). Since the game will be multiplayer, it is necessary to program the ability to play multiple users at the same time. This complicates the programming process as you have to program different character skins and controls for each player.
Step 7
Combine programming elements and visual elements of the game. The unification should include the character, his movement and controls.
Step 8
Test the game to find programming errors. If errors are found, open the code and fix them.
