Medieval Browser Game ( players can do anything is the goal)

Okay,

This has been a dream of mine for a long time now. But here goes nothing and I will be editing this as time goes on and over the next few days so if you are dissatisfied with the descriptions and what not please just gimme a chance to get it all organized and out.

Well the goal of this game is for a character, who starts off as a peasant, can become anything they want to be. There will be no NPC. Everything will be player controlled from setting selling prices of items, to making laws in the towns. Players can be brigands, soldiers, farmers, priests, nobles, town council, judge.

There is alot that needs to go into this game... And I being one person cannot do it all.

I am more than willing to take on most of the coding work. But I am just getting my feet wet coding.. I have learned alot from Indie-Resource.com and my other research and feel confortable that with the help of a few others that creating a game will be easy.

At the moment I do need a graphic artist- I cant draw/design for my life.
Someone decent at coding to help code some of the ideas as mentioned above.

The game is going to run on 12 hour ticks maybe less its just an idea. You need to eat.. work... or steal... make money move up in life.

Wars can happen... armies can be formed.

There will be stats, and battles will be automated....

There is so much more I will have an organized layout of the game and the ideas and what not in a day or two... But if anyone is interested in this idea.. I would love to have you along...

This will be a great ride... and yes there will be special options where money will be payed to us, and we will split it... if this game works and takes off like I know it should.

have you watched the videos for my open sourced game? There might be a lot there that you could use.

I like the ideas you have there. The coding will be large in places but should be well worth it if you can pull it off.

I have to agree with Halls.

Sounds like an interesting project.

My questions are:
What engine do you plan on using? Or do you plan on creating your own?
What coding language(s) will you be using?
3D, 2D isometric, birds eye view, FPV?

Thanks for your interest guys

Well its going to be interesting to describe.

basically it will be point and click. in the town.... such as you have an image map of the town and you click on the town hall say to go there... then when you are traveling there will be a map.. and you click on say the next town and you have travel time to get there... so you cannot actually move your character around by "walking" .

Its a text based rpg with image maps lol thats the best way i can describe it?

Updating more soon

So a text based MMO...so basically its a MUD?

I would not say its a MUD... but thats as close as I could get to a description.

Its really probably closest to resembling a MUD however if it were resembling anything.

Okay onto answering more questions.

The coding will be done using PHP, Mysql, HTML, CSS, you get the drift... its a browser based game.

I have started coding... Im reasonably sure I will scrap most of it if someone joins the team and says hey this way would be better.

Anyway ask questions away

i hate to keep throwing my stuff out there but I have the kinda map style you are looking for in my web engine 2.0,. Its a little different than the open source project

I would be happy to give the map code to the right people.
