Create your own Virtual World - Step1
January 20, 2012
After thousands of requests asking “How did you create Penguin Chat?”. I have decided to publish a series of posts on how to create a simple little virtual world. Here is a list of skills and tools that you will need to create a virtual world:
A Programmer (Actionscript)
An Artist/Animator
A Server (We will discuss this later)
Time
Step 1 - Characters
I start every world with the character. The character is what the player will become, and interact with every day. Your character must delight the player. Here are some ideas for selecting a character:
Keep your characters simple.
Select a character that can be both a boy or girl.
Leave room for the player’s imagination.
For this series, I plan to create a virtual world based on Rubber Ducks.
