I Made The RIOT MMO In 1 Week

[@TagAnimationz]

Possible to get a OBJ or FBX of the map? this would be so useful for general League anims for small scale animators to use as a base or foundation

[@anboniwow]

​@@TagAnimationz I could export the landscape itself as an obj, but it would be a huge file, with no trees/rocks/grass/cities. I don't think that would be too useful :(

[@TagAnimationz]

@@anboniwow don't need the foliage but the main assets would be dope, or if there's a way to get the raw unreal level to do exports, thats be dope!! Or to just add on in there!!

@@anboniwowwhat does copium “cope” mean? I was frozen for 10 years these words are new to me

[@LiquorStoreEntertainment]

@@normanfryman Copium is slang derived from the word cope, most used in gaming pop culture for example when x shady game company does something that pushes away most of the playerbase and the last few die hard fans try to convince you that the game is still worth, then we say that they are on 'copium'.

This is honestly really impressive you can really see your growth with the programs and honestly if you had given yourself more time I think you would have smashed the world and cities out of the park.

[@FatOlli]

Honestly, the amount of work you did in 2 weeks is impressive. Scuffed yes, but really makes you think if there were even a small team of like 20-30 people working on something like this how detailed and accurate it would be especially if you had more time.

[@ranamahal173]

Yeah like if you had someone this dedicated going at it for a year you'd have some crazy results, no? Now if you scale it up to 20-30 people I feel like you could actually make a functioning riot MMO, maybe not all 14 zones to start but you could definitely do like Demacia, Noxus, Ionia to start with maybe and then add on new areas as expansions?

[@ryohei9027]

I'm a 100% sure that the problem is the gameplay part. Also buying a shit ton of servers and a good anti bot program.

[@bnichoo]

You're selling yourself short Boni! The progress you've made and dedication are inspiring!

[@Skelly3000]

One of my reasons for pursuing game dev was to recreate my favorite environments from my favorite universes in a game engine. One of those universes is League of legends. You could legit spend maybe a month or something in each area as maybe a 1 year project. Either way, this is really cool!

[@wabalaka1565]

You wouldn't come close to 2 30% of the detail as accurate to the art in the universe page. The frame work is easy and fast but once you go into detail it gonna so much time on a wall. Not to take about the gameplay. It's another beast completely

[@yveltalsea]

[@undeadbread.0685]

This video just made me realise how impossibly huge this game would have to be to be even remotely close to lore accurate. I sincerely hope on release we only get Valoran, and Shurima, Icathia, Ionia, Bilgewater, Targon and Camavor will all be future expansions.

[@Deadknight67]

The First M for MMO stand for Massively. The entire thing is Massively Multiplayer Online. Meaning tons of people playing the same game online. So no, neither the landscape nor the map have to be huge, they just need to support a lot of players. Even if you stack them up on top of each other it's fine.

[@BlueMoonLightsUpTheNight]

Your work keeps getting better and better each video, keep up the great content!

[@zevenzeros]

Necrit featuring your video is the perfect opportunity for you to have your channel blow up. Keep on this project for like 6 months. Release weekly updated videos. See if you can end up with a game that actually has a few classes , abilities, and a very simple game play loop. Would be cool to see. Thanks for the fun video.

[@itayker22]

Yessss, this

[@bradenallen1241]

Would probably get taken down by riot unfortunately

[@zevenzeros]

@@bradenallen1241 maybe, but until then it’d be a fun project to watch. His channel would explode and then the off chance they don’t take it down would just be a bonus. Not looking for any type of complete game I fully think it’s still going to a complete broke mess of a project, it’d just be fun to see it worked on for a little longer.

man i think this project looks aweseome honestly and i find it embaressing how long riot takes, i hope they make up for it by quality of the game since urs looks aweomse and its a solo dev 2 week project.

[@hnice5]

I mean... Bro... He did the outlines of a way smaller world than Riot is going to do and it still took two whole weeks. Imagine if you have to do a 10 times larger world with the finest amount of detail and way more cities, villages, caves, etc; then fill it with NPCs and monsters, set all interactions, design missions and all gameplay mechanics, characters that actually look good and enough content so that it can be played for years. Not taking into account bugfixing. Of course it's going to take an extremely long time, it's a massive project that can take many years of hard work. He still did an insanely good job for 2 weeks but he didn't even scratch the surface of what Riot is making. So no, it's not embarrassing how long Riot is taking.

[@yenel1843]

@@hnice5 yes but he gets no money for it, plays WoW in the middle of that and is one singular dev amd took 2 weeks.

[@hnice5]

@@yenel1843 Still, it's only doing terrain bro. League's MMO is far more complex than this. This is just putting objects in the map, they have to put maybe 10000x more objects alone for the terrain and then develop stories for quests and then gameplay. Like they aren't taking long for these kind of games and if they do it's either because they are not used to working in this field or because they are redoing stuff to make it fit Riot's standards. It just takes years to do it and knowing Riot, it'll take even longer than most, but rn they are still on average MMO development time. And paying them makes no difference I think, they'll work as hard for a 2-week passion project than for a 6-7 year paid project. +There are burnouts, people that leave (such as the project director LMAO), creative differences... It's just probably too complex for us to understand how hard making this Runeterra MMO is

[@hnice5]

@@yenel1843 It's similar to making films: anyone a bit experienced in filming can make a short film that looks decent, but making a big film that lives up to hype takes months or even more than a year for a whole "pro" team. It isn't really comparable :v

You are honestly amazing, I went to check your other videos in the channel and I can't believe you're not a game dev channel

[@louisrobitaille5810]

11:33 It doesn't channel the powers of the Aspects. That's on Targon. We only know the celestial beings they get their magic from as the "sun gods", but we know they're different than the Aspects because the powers they get are different. Ascended Targonians keep their bodies and are (aside from Atreus/Pantheon) host to a fraction of an Aspect's power. Ascended Shurimans have their bodies modified to resemble that of an animal (Nasus is a dog, Renekton a crocodile, Azir a bird, etc.) and receive a boost to their already existing powers. Before his ascension of Targon, Atreus was a regular soldier/farmer. After reaching Targon's peak, as a reward the Pantheon took over his body (which is unusual for an Aspect to do, but normal for the Pantheon), granting him all his powers. (Flight, strength, etc). Before his ascension, Azir was a regular sand weaver. For comparison sake, he could make ~10 sand soldiers at once. Now he can make entire legions (1000s of sand soldiers) by merely waving his hand. He also restored Shurima on his own right after ascending.

[@IrrelevantArt]

Riot MMO could be something like how Genshin does. Start with a part of the map, then slowly open up new maps as the game or lore progresses

[@louisrobitaille5810]

11:28 Technically, it's supposed to stay still on the same axis as the two "supporting structures" (that aren't really supporting anything since the disk is floating but they still match its shape). The reason it turns in Azir's cinematic is because it was burried and just got restored.

Congrats, now you've placed twice the effort that half of successful MMOs from kickcstarter.

[@CaliCG89]

This is how you start any game project at any scale, you throw everything as sketchy as possible to give a sense of the world, scale and mood. Slowly add objectives and gameplay and polishing, polishing, redo, replan, redo and polish. This is the way to start as you really have a broad tangible sense of the game scope, I am pretty sure Riot is having a lot of problems with their mmo because they are probably managing a lot of meetings and bureaucracy of how the game it should be without nobody putting things into a prototype

[@TunaIRL]

[@AxisZtv]

Holy fuck why can't devs just do THIS? Why is it always announce something and then go completely dark for years? Great job on this video!

[@TunaIRL]

Because these stages are most easily critiqued without validity. They give no information on the finished product and your opinion about something at this stage really has no bearing on anything. Unfinished decisions that would be leaked could lead people to believe something that might not be true about the game. There's an endless amount of reasons why in any big project, the specifics aren't leaked to the public. And the positives are what? Making sure you don't get impatient or bored?

[@AxisZtv]

@@TunaIRL These stages are easily critique? Ok, Don't look at comments if you're not concern with what they say. Also, you're not soliciting opinions by showing the creative process. Some people find that to be interesting content. Everyone knows content gets cut from the final product. We've all watched a trailer and played a game that was completely different. Sure there are reasons to keep things under lock and key. You know the best way to do that? Don't make public announcements about things. It'd be way better if we didn't even know about the Riot MMO until it was 6 months from launch, but they announced it. Then one of the lead developers basically says it could become vaporware at any point... and then he quit. Wtf is the point of announcing something and then going dark for 3 years?

[@TunaIRL]

@@AxisZtv It's not just an issue of "don't look at the comments", it's what kind of an idea will the public get. People might misunderstand something that's not finished. It's just a very unnecessary risk. Right now as we see, a big part of what the public thinks is what's posted on Twitter and reddit and platforms like that. Misleading and straight up wrong information can very easily spread through them. This constant misinfo would have to then be battled with even more videos clarifying and clarifying the content. The benefits of announcing something is very obvious. This video is a part of it. People get excited and hyped about the game without them having to constantly give updates about the development process. Not to mention most of the time people working on big projects have to sign nda's because of sensitive information or the methods used to make the product. Since the only reason you'd want companies to post more is your impatientness, I think it's fine to accept that they don't.

[@marajango]

This is an awesome project and you can be really proud for pulling all of this off in 1 week. Now, as you mentioned, the scale of the world should be bigger for the actual MMO. I hope we won't be able to see both Mount Targon and Noxus on the horizon. Given the vast space Riot would have to fill for a believable world, I would even prefer if Riot doesn't cram all of Runeterra into the initial release version. If they could take the scale of this project and make it only Demacia and Noxus, then I'd be happy and looking forward to all the coming massive expanions, adding in all the other regions.
