I've recently gotten into a game called Avatar: Frontiers of Pandora, and while the community is pretty small, a lot of us are hoping for a server to play on together. However, the game only supports co-op modes, and as someone who's completely new to coding, I'm curious about how difficult it would actually be to create a server client for this game—kind of like what you see with FiveM for GTA. If there are any tutorials or resources you could point me to for learning how to code or set up game servers, that would be awesome! I'm also interested in forming a team with some volunteers to tackle this project.

Honestly, jumping into creating a game server as your first project would be pretty overwhelming. It’s not really something a beginner should take on since it involves complex programming and real-time networking. Some experienced developers wouldn’t even try this alone. Maybe start with something simpler and build up your skills first?
It's not impossible, but it's definitely a tough challenge for someone without coding experience. The gap between what's feasible and what's impossible is pretty slim here. I’d suggest taking some time to learn the basics before attempting something on this scale.
Think of it like trying to build a car without ever having seen a screwdriver! Programming game servers is notoriously complicated, and you'll want to get a solid footing in coding before venturing into that world. Starting with smaller projects could really help you build the skills you need.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll definitely start with simpler stuff first.
