Looking for one or two people to start something

[hallsofvallhalla]

Well I have been in and out of a few funks lately and have been through a million ideas and the truth is I need one or two people to work with me and keep me on track and to help develop something.

I am up for any type of project as long as it is finishable and within our reach to create. I am thinking a simple PHBB with some fun fast play. I was actually thinking about a Dungeons and Dragons 1st edition retro flash from the past. The rules are quite simple and there are a ton of books and resources to use. Could be a quest type of game where adventurers hang out in the inns of towns and do the quests. Other things can be added on but the true questing could be much like the old adventures. You get a pic of the room and some options like, search for traps, search, set trap, fight, pick locks ect... We could build a quest designer for players to build quests. They would earn gold for every player that plays the quest and would the size and amount of exp and gold in it would be based on their level or GM level.

Other ideas are my domains, viraldawn.com which could be a zombie game and asciiwars.com.

I am not looking for a coder so to speak as two coders on a project like this can be too many. Not saying we both could not code but we would have to stick to one type of format. Could really use someone to work on the art, I have most of the art or we can get it from resources from around the net. Just would need to upload it and create the items and things.

I will install a Project manager for our project to help track things.

i would love to help you out on something d and d old school.

i can offer the help side as in sorting resources i. e items and bits or just help on advice as tunnels and trolls and d & D.
i still have all the old books and info lying around here from projects that i am working on.

If i can help in anyway i would be glad to .

I would like to help, but I also want to finish my own project. That`s also the reason i`m not really into AsciiWars atm. It is something I have to do, otherwise i`ll get the same disease like others here

I would like to help out, maybe do database design, help out on application logic, I don`t want to code that much though, i`m already getting tired of the code for my current project. I`m not used to coding this much...

What language do you want to code in? PHP, ASP.NET? What type of game do you want to create? Javascript rpg style? Or plain serverside?

On the questing system: I don`t think that`s the greatest idea, too many people will create simple quests, like farming quest gold where others collect it for you. I like the idea of quests, but not to reward them for each player that`s playing. Maybe have a moderator look at the quest,and reward him with ingame currency ( maybe special stones you need for special stuff, like something premium).

Anyway, it should be an original idea, not based on anything in existence. I`m beginning to wonder if it was a good idea to write my own HP game. I know i`ll get problems if I would ever publish it. So i`m not even gonna publish it lol.

I would only let the player do one made up, not yet approved by a moderator quest a day. This mitigates the quest farm effect. And frankly, not everyone is going to do that, so to throw out the creatives along with the farmers is like throwing out the baby with the bathwater.

ould be a quest type of game where adventurers hang out in the inns of towns and do the quests. Other things can be added on but the true questing could be much like the old adventures. You get a pic of the room and some options like, search for traps, search, set trap, fight, pick locks ect... We could build a quest designer for players to build quests.

The halls desease concerns me (particularly when you have so much more programming skill than I), and here's a hypothesis:

Your thinking into the unknown, when your envisioning it this way. The unknown always looks infinite and huge and mysterious and cool. Except when you go to code it, you destroy the unknown because when your coding it you cease to see an unknown and you can see the whole. And it becomes less mysterious and cool. A bit like being in a relationship for a few years, lol!

I think it's worth asking yourself "When it starts to lose the mystery and I can start to see the whole of the program, does my enthusiasm drop at that point?"

[hallsofvallhalla]

well the adventures you create would be limited by your level and there would be things in place to stop farming but points taken.

That was just a general idea, not saying the final. I just need to finish a project, think it is time. It has been a while. I usually finish one for evey 30 i start and I am up to about 30 hehehe

[Callan S.]

I just agree with the following alot

I am up for any type of project as long as it is finishable and within our reach to create.

It's just that the word 'quest' can cover going down the road to pick collect some medicine, or it can involve scouring a world for the holy grail. The former fits within the quote, the latter does not, but it's the same word either way. It could be disruptive to you that way, just sayin'.

I'd love to make something with you, but I just can't decide myself what I really want to create.
I do want to create another PBBG though, which will be completed for sure - but I'm still brainstorming ideas. I'm thinking a game where you have a main character, but also a pet that sits beside your avatar (if you've reached the stage of being allowed of having one, or tamed/catched one).

Can't go more into detail only 'cause there's not a lot I've been thinking up.. just the big picture.
I put up Land of Mages on my webserver again, so I'm kind of motivated.. or am I? I don't even know. ;___;

I drew some sample icons, albeit the fact I suck at it;
, ,

I also drew a rabbit with a reference from another game;


But yeah, if you're interested in co-working or helping eachother out while we're making our PBBG's I guess you can just PM me.

I love the sprites, very nice job.

I am actually going to put out some more videos first. About 10 more on the mmo tutorial and I am starting a browser Based RTS tutorial series.

[spawnfestis]

Good luck with that!
Many users I believe find them useful, and it seems its the source of where people find this site, so that sounds like a good thing to do..

Hey,
What i can offer is programming, i can design up to 99,9% it always depends on the theme etc,
I'm looking for a person to work with because it's easier sometimes to have another brain around also it's fun.
++ I learn anything new very fast so if there is something i will try to adapt to it "Pm me" when and where to
discuss this some more if you need the extra team member!

PS: I'm also a eccentric idea man people who know me tell me i sometimes come up with some crazy ideas
and i have a lot of game ideas saved up if that helps as well.
