alright so i have a demo copy of Torque game engine and I am not sure if i wish to purchase it yet. Well more or less I want to do a top-down view game were movement is point and click blah blah actually to make it a bit simpler check www.xenimus.com it is my favorite mmorpg for its PvP but its boring as hell to lvl in and the chat system sucks

I want to make a game like it not fully but the idea of how the movement and attack/spell system works. I am either going to make an mmorpg or co-op mmo-style game (diablo style).

Now my delemma.. I can program a 3d enviorment with a 3rd person, first person, and a static view but i can't seem to do top down...... its like im walking before i can crawl i know its dumb i cant do it lol I'm really looking for some help on this please site tut's even book names :P please?


anyone who responds thank you very much in advance for even reading :)
Also anyone interested in hearing out my game idea as well both mmo and non PM me or message me suiicidalpenguin (aim) or suiicidalpenguin@gmail.com :P
