Should Wynncraft Be Its Own Off Game?

Seeing as grain has told us bad news on RtD, I thought I should make this thread because it seemed like a good time to. (also I want to because I can, or before I forget)

Should Wynncraft be its own off game?
now you might have already commented and leaving the page saying:

- wel DUH
- Off COURRSSSE!
- y wood u ask tat???
- yer a gey fagort, kys, wynncraft sould be it on of gam!!!!!
- go commit neck rope
(and other dumb comments)

Now, now, here's where I'm coming from.
From my knowledge, Wynncraft has been around for five years, thus, five years has gone into making the game, with all its updates and such. Now lets say right at this moment, salted says "Moo!" and the whole Wynnteam gets to work on a Wynncraft MMORPG all on its own, no MC, just Wynncraft. Now, I'm not saying that's gonna happen, I highly doubt it, but if it were to happen, what would be some problems that come up?

#1 - Learning A New Engine.
Minecraft (you could say) is an engine, and the Wynnteam has been using it for over 5 years, I'm not saying they would be so used to it, its just that learning a new engine can be hard with whatever engine they use.
Not to talk about modeling, Enemies, MPC's, Quests, BOSSES for a big part. Now they do have knowledge of how to model, look at our weapons and armor, but a lot of that shit is pretty recycled. Coding shouldn't be a problem, its like command blocks but built-in and not an add-on. I'm forgetting something... eh, I'll remember it later. So, learning a new engine? eh, doesn't seem like to much of a problem, Wynnteam just gotta get used to the engine, and that cant be that hard, right? right?

#2 - General Appeal
So lets say a full Wynncraft MMORPG comes out, its on steam, and its free to play everything is in it.
I'm 99.9% sure that someone who doesn't play Minecraft or doesn't know what Wynncraft is, is gonna see that and maybe play it. Wynncraft might need a name change, not saying that it SHOULD have a name change, but it might need one for a general appeal.

And...
#3 - Time and Money
Oh hey I remembered that thing I forgot, WYNNCRAFT HAS 5 YEARS OF CONTENT IN IT AND REMAKING 5 YEARS OF CONTENT IS HARD. If Wynnteam were to full on STOP production on the Wynncraft server, (not saying it would happen but hey, it might) that would have MAJOR consequences, too many to list. What I find as the main problem is money, people would fund Wynncraft to be its own game, I'm sure of that, but making a game from scratch with alotta people can be challenging.

So, Should Wynncraft be its own game? Edit: No, it shouldn't.
And I didn't list off any good reasons of how Wynncraft can be better by being its own game, good job dumbass.

I'm only guessing this didn't make a lick of sense, but who gives a shit.
If any staff members are reading this, I mean no offence, you have much more skill then I will ever have.
If I should edit anything let me know, I haven't made a thread in months so I'm rusty with this stuff.

(Edit: thanks to the people who commented saying their mind on the matter, final answer is no, wynncraft should stay in MC)

 

I mean Minecraft is a familiar platform to players as well, making it more easily accessible. Other MMORPGS take quite the knowledge to master, Wynncraft on the other hand is already in a game that they understand. I just wish people would stop bullying me for playing Minecraft

 

Dont mention wynncraft, only wynn

 

I don't know that but have you looked at Steam? Holy fuck after Steam direct it's the digital equivalent of a fucking clogged toilet bowl.It would stand absolutely no chance. Also the costs of converting something like Wynncraft into another engine like Unreal or so would be fucking unreal. Unless the Wynn team want's to asset flip but knowing the CT they do take pride in their work and hence they can't cheaply make it into it's own game. It would be cool, but I don't think it can happen.

 

I feel like Wynncraft should stay in Minecraft. Sure, that means we also have to comply with stuff like the EULA and Minecraft's limitation, but at the same time Minecraft seems to be a pretty good platform to have Wynncraft on.

Look at how much stuff we have in the game. Then imagine making all that from scratch on some other system. Forget a one-year wait for Gavel, it would probably take even longer to make updates! Not to mention that we would probably need different coders, and many more modelers since we're no longer working with blocks. There's another issue: Minecraft already provides us with basic systems like jumping and swimming that we would have to make from scratch if Wynn was its own game.

While a Wynncraft outside of Minecraft could lead to more flexability and unique ideas, it would be far too much wo rk to start over from scratch on a highly ambitious MMORPG. Besides, some of Wynncraft's charm comes from the fact that it's literally in Minecraft.Not to mention that it was free, I already loved Minecraft, so why not play a free server inside it?

 

There is absolutely no way Wynncraft would survive on its own. The MMORPG market is oversatured and dying, and there's really nothing that special about Wynncraft. Not to mention that it would have to be Kickstarted, which given the news it would probably end up like Mighty No. 9....

 

Don't worry, there's a helpful guide on how to make Wynn it's standalone game:
1. Get money.
2. Say bye to the Content Team.
3. Lose playerbase and die.

 

*Shudder* DONT YOU DARE!

 

It'll be like an anime girl on prom night.

 

we don’t have to use steam, we can just put it on steam and another platform. Like warframe for example, on steam but also has it’s own platform too.

(but I don’t really see how realistic it is to make WC its own game)

remember optimism? I don’t.

 

All the jokes(talking mushroom?crazy mushroom addicted scientists?potatoes idk) and in game minecraft mechanics would be lostem.

 

It's a nice idea to think about, but it wouldn't work in reality.

 

I think that Wynncraft would be a more unique game and possibly better on it's own (there are less limitations) but the game itself would not work (players will leave, too much work, etc.). Also, as said above, the game would lose it's Minecraftian charm.

 

If it were to be it’s own game Wynncraft would have to hire a team. That would cost a lot of money which would most likely have to be crowdfunded or Wynncraft would have to be stuck in a narrow contract by some money hungry publisher.
No, you can’t just have the CT learn a new engine. Building stuff in minecraft doesn’t mean you’re good at modeling and coding is a lot harder than cmd blocks. So all CT would have to be replaced by paid professionals.
And the thing is Wynncraft isn’t unique as a standalone game. The only thing that makes Wynncraft unique is that it is in Minecraft (and a few pretty cool mechanics and pretty unique and cool quest design). It would blend in with all the other shitty MMORPGs and die.

I know a lot of people want this but it’s a stupid idea that would lead to the death of Wynncraft.

 

Thanks to all the people who commented and giving their opinion on the matter. Here's some points that have come up:

"Steam is no a reliable platform for wynncraft" (@Dr Zed @InfernoWraith )
I always forget how shit the steam library keeps getting.

"The minecraftian charm would be lost" (@WithTheFish @Allankap5 )
I will never understand how people think that wynncraft becoming its own game would be better, (I think that's why I only listen the bad and not the good) after all, it's main tagline is "The MINECRAFT MMORPG"
hey wait a second

"THERE GOES THE MONAAAAA" (@Aarontti @HalfCat_ )
Fucking hell, everything in this goddamn world can only be done with money, I hate this damn planet.

Also, just wanna clear something up with the poll, the points I made were trying to downplay making wynncraft its own game.
or did I? I cant fuckin tell.

 

People who bully others for what they play are just bored of their own, uninteresting lifes.
Same goes for those who bully people over watching anime or what else there is.
