Your initial post seemed generic too. ^_^~ Anyways, it just seemed like one of those mellow posts that had the discouraging effect that you'd give to a person that knows nothing about programming and now I understand why. You make a good point where I didn't mention that I even knew C# (I can pick up almost any programming language with a sequenced syntax and use it). I'm aware of how complicated a 3D game is. I've completely ripped apart the sandy 3D engine for flash and also paper vision and pretty much remade them. I've even made a 3D engine in flash before AS3 came out! (It was a nightmare!)
Anyways, yeah, this is a hobby project. It's not funded but I did put a deadline on it. My goal isn't to learn because I know how it all works. I'm just trying to get opinions on irrlicht and possibly see if anyone would happen to know of other 3D engines that have .NET wrappers that might possibly be simpler and better. I'm trying to make sure I end up using something that is speedy (IE: Wont look laggy and choppy to the user). While at the same time, easy/fast to develop with.
The end product is going to be a fun free MMORPG with no adverts or cash shop (and it'll have a storyline! RAWR!). It's not like I'm your average guy in the aspect of pet projects. Even if I make something and quit, it doesn't die. If the source ain't already open, I open it and I've made quite a bit of royalties off projects that I've started and almost completed but I gave them away to other people to continue on (They just made my stuff go corporate).
Personally.... how I get things done is.... I just make a goal and I coast along.... until it's done. It works for me. Also, I'd like to make a note that I don't have to necessarily be making a "3D" game with a 3D engine. I might be making a 2D game. I've not completely decided if I want to deal with 3D meshes or rendering out cardboard cut outs of 2D PNG files yet. I think I might go with a maple story-like game. It's something that is widely enjoyed but it's cut down and left to be a child's game with no storyline. I hate marketing ploys like that. Bleh, I'mma end here before I babble on into my entire theory on the universe too.
