Hey guys, I’ve been invested in ICP since 2022, worked in gaming for longer, and when I was a kid, loved playing browser games like Neopets and Kingdom of Loathing. I got the idea that ICP would be a great place to build a browser game, and I thought that I would stop by to say hi and ask for help.
Here’s my problem - my professional experience in games is limited to the art department, and I don’t know anybody who’s familiar with developing and deploying on ICP. When it comes to all of this, I’m kind of lost. I’ve looked around on the web a little bit, but the official documentation is somewhat inpregnable to somebody like me, and it doesn’t look like this thing called the Motoko Bootcamp runs anymore. Is there a resource out there for somebody just getting started? …or am I better off just waiting for caffeine?
Here a few doodles I made for pets, by the way!
This is your best bet, in my opinion: MMORPG KIT (2D/3D/Survival) (Its an affiliated link) Use my link, or not if you prefer, lol.
Out of the box kit for Unity, works with browser, too.
Build yourself a prototype, replace assets with your own… if you get something going. I’m sure you can attract someone to “ICP-ify” the bits and pieces to get it going on the IC.
Join the discord or DM me if you need help… their Discord is a way better community than Boom Dao will ever be, although cant give Boom too much shade since they’ve done some C# integration.
But yeah, I promise you thats probably your best bet if you’re serious.
If youre super set on Neopets / KOL browser based, which I dunno if thats the way to go…
I would just use lovable / vercel and just build a browser based game… forget about IC… get something going, then get someone to ICP-ify it… Why wait… Dont over think, work with what you got, roll with the punches.
