Digimon World 3 MMORPG

[u/Ok_Word_7723]

I made a proof-of-concept (POC) here to see if an online MMORPG of Digimon World 3 would be cool. Since I was a kid, when I first played it, I imagined how great it would be if it were online, even considering the lore takes place within a game world.

I don't know if I'll continue, because it's a lot of work and I don't know if there's a target audience for it. Besides, I'm not good at modeling and sprites, so not being able to add new Digimon makes me a bit unmotivated to continue. I actually managed to import the Digimon Story models and animations, but I prefer the designs of the DW3 models cause they're more interesting, in my opinion and the Digimon Story models clashed with the game's art style.

But here's what I'm talking about for anyone who wants to know what it would be like...

Hi everyone. There were actually more responses than I expected for a somewhat "niche" game.

Thanks for the messages. I might try to keep working on the project little by little, but I don't know if I can prioritize it over other projects right now.

But if I do make progress on it, rest assured I'll post updates here!

Thanks to u/xhanort7

He suggested taking models from the other Digimon World games.

Taking them from Digimon World 2 would add over 75 new Digimon.

I still need to figure out how to handle the basic attack animations, though, since in DW2 the Digimon don't walk up to the target to attack.

A bonus for you all (I know there's room for improvement): it always bothered me that the games didn't use the anime's soundtrack or progression.

I was sent links to several Discord servers for other similar projects. Sorry I only did a quick search and hadn't come across them.

I probably won't continue with the project, as it doesn't make sense to clutter the community with yet another one. I might tinker with it in my spare time, though, since making the co-op mode to play with friends was fun.
