Hey everyone.
I'm new to UDK, and I was wondering if it would be a realistic goal to try to create an open world survival game? Nothing too complex, I've just always had this dream about creating an open world game where you start off deep inside of the forest, and you have to scavenge for food, setup shelter, and just try to survive. Something similar to Wurm Online, Stranded 2, or aspects of Dwarf Fortress, but maybe not as complex as that last one.
I know this would probably be a pretty intense first project, so I imagined I would create several smaller mods/games before that, and gradually move into more complex projects. I've picked up Ivor Horton's Beginning C++ book (would this be the best option? I've heard some people say that I should start on Java, rather than C++), and then I'll try to learn about UnrealScript after that. I'm a bit familiar with Maya/3Ds Max, but I still have a lot to learn there. I'd imagine I would be working alone on most of this, but I do have about 10+ hours of spare time most days of the week that I could devote to learning as much as I can.
Anyway, would this be a realistic goal after I become better acquainted with UDK, or is it just an unrealistic pipe-dream?
Thanks for any suggestions.
