   Decrypt - A game of mystery and cryptography (Screenshots)
  **UPDATE** 12 MAR 2008==========Since the last update I have stress tested the platform and worked out some more bugs. I feel fairly confident that it's ready to start building the next mission on top of now.That being said, one of the weakest parts of the project is the web design, I desperately need a decent web designer to help revamp the look, all small projects.And I need good play testers who will actually give me feed back.If anyone is interested I need the following:---------------------------------------------- Play testers (I want to find the bugs before launch this time!)- Web designers (The in-game web pages as well as Decrypt's home page could use a face lift, and new in-game web pages need to be made)- PHP/JS coders (There are new in-game apps to be made for Mission 2)- Writers (There is already a story inplace, but it needs work, also the system is designed to have any number of stories so feel free to pitch a totally new one!)So please contact me if you are interested in helping in any way![/update]Team name:Dark Rock StudiosProject name:DecryptBrief description:You will play the role of a sort of modern day private eye. The game takes place on a "virtual computer". The entire thing resides inside your web browser. You will receive an email from a friend asking for your help in decrypting this message he found. You will use the in-game web browser to go to this forum site that he runs and find the text he is talking about. Then you will have to use real world cryptography skills to decrypt the message. Once decrypted the message will unveil the seeds of the plot and set in motion a chain of events that will sweep you up in an international event.There will be certain hacking-esk elements much in the spirit of Uplink that will lead you to the next message to decrypt. The story will be dynamic in certain ways. Depending on your actions different people in the game world will react differently and change the story. The initial idea has expanded a bit but the core thing is this. I want to challenge the players mind. When a player over comes an obstacle in the game I want them to feel a real sense of accomplishment. Not just the fact that they progressed, but that what they did was actually an accomplishment for them selves, in real world terms. I want to teach the player things that I think are generally fascinating. The player will actually learn real world things that will help them to complete parts of the game.Target aim:FreewareCompensation:NoneTechnology:PHP, &#106avascript (AJAX), MySQL, XHTML, CSSTalent needed:Story writers, Graphic Designers ( very simple things required )Team structure:Project Lead - WavesonicsLead Programer - WavesonicsStory Writer - ???Lead Artist - ???Website:Decrypt - GameContacts:Contact PagePrevious Work by Team:There are a list of my previous projects here:Previous ProjectsAdditional Info:I have some basic ideas for the story, but I need some one to comein and help develop a deeper plot.I'm shooting for a Tom Clancy-esk story.The great thing about this project is the technical side, all of thedifficult problems have been solved and solutions already implemented.So really, we're ready to just start implementing the story and actualgame play. I just need some people with cool mature ideas to help with thestory.Feedback:AnyScreen Shots:[Edited by - Wavesonics on March 12, 2008 2:18:07 AM]
