What languages should I learn for making a 2d mmo, possibly 3D

Question

I wanna make a 2d mmo survival game, but where do I start?
I tried engines like unity or unreal but none of them can run mmos, so I wanna make my own
Plz tell me.

Answer 1

The mentioned engines are more than capable of providing support for 2D MMO games. The guides may not be the most beginner-friendly documents, but claiming that they're "awful" reflects more on you than on the guides.

I'm not sure if you've seen this, but there's an entire starter kit, and a demo here.

P.S. How is the act of using game engines not "doing it yourself"?

Answer 2

Why do you believe you cannot make an mmo using unreal and unity engine?

Have you made complete a game yet?

Mmorpgs take time and resources to make.

I believe the two engines would be good if not overkill for a 2d mmo.

Sure go for it.

It will be challenging to make a functional game from raw C++ but it is possible.

- personally I am developing with SDL2.
